Are you allowed to bait them? And are they being as destructive as the wild hogs in the south/southeast?Javelina season opener was Friday. Out every day at daylight for three days. Come home late. Ride UTV and hike, somewhat. Lots of tracks. Sunday morning in my backyard a herd trafficked through. Wife got one picture. Can't shoot in my subdivision even with 10 acres. Well maybe with suppression. Not.View attachment 1136742
Not a feral animal, so controlled species. Baiting not allowed. At times they respond to game calls. Some are taken a really close range with bow, handgun. Others dies during rifle season. Draw tag. Can be destructive to cultivated landscaping. Can be aggressive towards dogs. Several occurrences of people getting injured while defending their pet. Some call them skunk pig from gland on backend. Properly skinned and cooked have an appearance like dark pork. Like any wild game they can be good eating and easily messed up.Are you allowed to bait them?

When I see something like that I picture it on a spit, turning slowly over mesquite coals/fire. Or being laid, wrapped in dampened burlap, into a pit filled with rocks where a fire had burned for several hours and covered with dirt for six hours.
I'll guess that the desert isn't fertile enough to allow them to flourish to the point of extreme nuisance.Not a feral animal, so controlled species. Baiting not allowed.

That pic should be your avatar, not that silly kitty cat!
That owl still looks a little woozy... Good on ya for taking care of it!A Barred owl that hit a window at work during graveyard shift. Nursed it back to health after it knocked itself out hitting the window. Held it for about 10 minutes keeping it warm. It would let me pet it. Very light and soft. Flew off after about an hour.

Thanks. Lot of elk, deer and a few bear in that area. Had a lot more luck last year getting animals to smile for the camera. Trying some different tricks and we'll how it works out in a couple of weeksSounds like you found a game trail.
