I have no idea what our javelina weigh, but it can’t be 300 lbs. they are fast! Love northern Arizona. So much magic there, not as cold as other wintery spots…

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.
