    I've heard people opine on both sides of the "good" eating thing. I guess it's a matter of taste. I've never tried javelina.

    They can be mean...especially when there's younguns around. I was sitting very still, their eyesight is very poor, and you can see in pic 3 and 4 when the javelina finally realized that I was there. It just went back to eating, though.

    Are you a machinist? I worked tool and die, mold and die and general for many years.

    Hell, you got by all this time by living and let live- -

    Ugly yes- -but going thru the ritual of making a dinner out of them- -well...it just aint me...

    happiness&good karma,

    Nice paint job, actually. Me, I love camofaluge. Olive drab and black. I'm not out in the desert or mountains screaming "HELLOOOOO-OOOOO! I IS HERE!" I'm there to be PART of nature. To blend in.

    Thanks for your words and your pics, you're very inspiring. I have an old Dodge van that keeps on keeping on, My wife and I and our dachshund are ready to try living on the road for awhile, and it was your stories that helped convince us. Thanks again, peace!!

    I do all of my hunting at the Safeway now. I only shoot animals with cameras now.

    However...in the early '80s, when I lived in a grove of Cottonwood trees 11 miles north of Blythe, Ca., they would have been dinner. Anything that was unfortunate enough to have crossed my path wound up cooked. I lived for quite a while on squirrel, rabbit, carp I scooped out of the irrigation canals when they'd close the gates, onions from the fields and even honey from the beehives. Hell, if a fat Wall Street broker had had the misfortune of making my acquaintance at that time, I'm not sure what his fate would have been.
