Its called a javelina. They are not hogs or pigs.. They are peccary from south of the border. Some say they are a type of rodent actually.Originally Posted by Zincubus
But yes, we do eat them, they are very good. But, you have to know how to process thm properly.. They are not like hogs and pigs, these guys have a scent gland on their lower back that wreaks badly..if u puncture it in anyway while skinning or let its fur touch the meat, you ruin it. So very nit picky processing, but tastey beasts.
Oh and they are meaner than sin when they feel the need to be..can snap a leg bone in a bite if they get ahold of you.. Their eye sight is horrible.. I have been as close as 15 foot to them while hunting, out in open where any other critter will see you, but as long as you dont move, they dont seem to notice you. And they do have a good sense of smell too.
