I have no idea what our javelina weigh, but it canβt be 300 lbs. they are fast! Love northern Arizona. So much magic there, not as cold as other wintery spotsβ¦

My last hunt in the national forest, I saw what I thought was a bear. It was 110 measured yards away. I watched and soon realized it was a very big hog. Maybe 700 or 800 lbs. No way I was getting it out of the woods. I waited and some smaller piglets came out. This I can handle, I thought. Shot what I thought was a 100 lbs sow. The pigs came running in all directions. I stood next to a tree, very still, and let them clear the area. The little pig I shot was 300 lbs.
This is not my piggy, but an example of what they look like up close.
A lot of fun, but dangerous game. I have friend who have been attacked by an angry sow. Cut his legs up really bad. He managed to get to a tree and then an emergency room.
