I was so overwhelmed with the constant destruction caused by the javelina, that I had Fish and Game come out here last summer - to analyize the situation, and let me know what I could do to deter them, short of ceasing the bird feeding. I was told that there was nothing I could legally do - and that it was illegal to maim or kill them. (That is where I got my information). Guess I should look into it more - but I don’t think I could shoot one.

Here’s where I got my info from:
