“Javalinas, I've never heard.”

Javelina bark like dogs...they also “click” their tusks when they're nervous or PO’d— all of them except for the one I have hanging in my office...he doesn't say much anymore...just hangs there with a snarling look on his face. (Killed him while handgun hunting in the desert).
I've spent my LIFE hunting/camping in both the deserts of Arizona and up on the Rim...I've never seen or heard of the Mogollon Monster.

My guess though, if they are about...say, 600-800 pounds, then a .30-06 with 180-gr JSP should bring them down no problem. I think I'll save a spot on my hunting trophy wall...just in case!

I heard something that was so unnerving that I sure didn't want to venture out, shotgun or not!

Thanks for the info.

Javelinas are one western creature that I still haven't seen, except on the wall, as you've described.

That and the jackalope:)
