Very nicely done. Great shot placement -- and with a smoothie. Are those little toots worth eating? There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

some folks eat them. i don't personally care for them so i don't shoot them unless i have someone to take the meat. Mike gave the one he shot to a Apache friend of his. | |||

Yes they are if the meat is handled properly and cooked properly. They have 0% fat to them, one of the leanest animals I have ever butchered and the meat is actually very bland tasting, and can be over seasoned really easily. Also if cooked fast over high heat it will be dry and tough, but from my experience most game meat is that way. The biggest drawbacks when it comes to getting people to eat javelina is first the thoughts, to many folks believe the animals are related to rats or to weasels, neither of which is true. Then there is the way the animals smell. With their hide on, they do smell like a skunk. One of the biggest mistakes many people made when shooting a javelina was to remove the musk gland. In attempting that, they would get the smell from the gland on to the meat. The musk gland on a javelina is located in the hide and if a person will just not touch or mess with the gland, it comes off when the hide comes off, and the meat smells similar to fresh feral hog. No, javelina will not compete with elk in a head to head taste test, but cooked properly it is pretty good eating. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

Speaking of "rootkiller"........ Anyone notice there are no wild pigs in Key West ? (chuckle) Before you defend this troll, I winter @ 152 golf club dr, key west and he does not live next door ! Which is smart, as there is a BOLO out on him in Monroe County FL for previous death threats made on another site. I mean how dumb do you have to be to make a death threat using the handle "stx" and then post a stupid video using stx again after you already made insulting posts here to the same same person you threatened to kill...there ? My house in FL with my dog:  Same dog at the Cirque of the Towers in the Wind River Range above Pinedale WY.  Hmm? wonder where I "stole the pictures off the internet." ???? And yes, my name is Root and I rather doubt he'll ever get close enough to become a "rootkiller". Hope he's too old to breed more idiots. | |||

Looked over at 153, didn't see anyone but the man who lives there. He was concerned about someone who makes death threats using his address. Being a Federal employee, he is concerned about identity theft. You might want to use 150 Golf Club Dr as it is in foreclosure and vacant. As for "dealings" you may wish to read the legal opinions posted on Gunbroker and Auction Arms as well as reading 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(21)(C) before tossing around (more) threats. | |||

If you slow roast one until it pulls off the bone and then do so like pulled pork, you can integrate it into a lot of recepies that use other meats. One of the best is to substitute javelina for chicken in King Ranch chicken. 40 years ago while working on a friend's father's ranch we lived off javelina because his dad didn't want us shooting anything else. This was well before South Texas was chock full of ferral hogs. We usually put a quarter (front or hind) in a rectangular cake pan and put a box of Uncle Ben's Wild rice mix in as per the stove top directions except we baked it covered with foil for a couple of hours. It was pretty decent eating. "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

What tiggertate said, plus 100. It will never replace elk/axis or bison meat, but it ain't trash. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

Good to hear that javelina can be eaten, with proper technique. I've long wanted to hunt the rascals, but didn't want to just leave them. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Everyone that eats them has their own take on how best to clean them. I haven't eaten one in quite a while but my recommended process is the same as hogs; wash well with a stiff brush and Dawn or similar to get as much of the musk oil off the fur as possible. My buddy does this by dragging his down the road a mile or two in the dust, making sure to stop and flip it at least once, lol. Then as you skin one make sure to roll the hide AWAY from the meat, never letting the hair touch meat. Never touch the meat after you've touched hair. Two folks are best. I gut them after they've been skinned As long as none (as in nonograms) of the musk contaminates the meat they are fine.

I have skinned a couple and cooked a few, and I always just load them into the vehicle take them to the skinning shed, roll them out of their hide and never touch the musk gland or let it touch the meat and have never had any of the meat come out smelling like anything but fresh meat. Not quite the same smell as fresh pork but not much different. From my experience, the biggest problem people have is messing with the musk gland in any way. Unlike skunks and weasels where the musk gland is in the body cavity, the gland on the javelin is in the skin. If a person will just take the hide off, not touch the gland or let it touch the meat there won't be a problem. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||
