I live in the general area, and yes, javelinas are a constant problem for everyone. Most peoples’ yards are fenced off for that very reason.
If you’re wondering what a javelina is, it’s what the rest of the world calls a peccary. It looks like a wild boar. Also, don’t try to get bacon bits off of it; they’ve got a scent gland that instantly destroys the flavor of the meat if it’s pierced. (Even if the scent gland is left intact, it’s a toss up as to whether you’d be able to stomach that meat.)
Nah, just research. “They’re pigs, right? Why don’t people just cook them and eat them?” A few Google searches made the answer abundantly clear. (Also, javelinas just plain stink. It’s a skunk-like odor, and who’d want to eat whatever is making that smell?)
What’s shitty about it? It’s just an abandoned mining town tourist trap with artsy hippies living there. I mean it’s not a place where you’d probably want to raise a family, but the landscape is beautiful and there are a few good restaurants and bars there.
I’ve always enjoyed my time there on a couple of roadtrips, but maybe you know something I don’t.

It’s like an anti-theft ink tag. 😂
Stank tag.
The culinary portion of this comment seems seasoned with experience and regret.

The old hunter’s joke for Javelina is “Wanna know how to cook a Javelina?”
“Dig a pit, put it on a board, roast it for 3 hours, throw out the Javelina and eat the board.”
When I worked in Peri we had a few collared peccaries around that were tame. Didn’t seem particularly smelly
Anyone with the last name “Bisbee” living in AZ should change their name. That town is a shithole.
The people who keep the name are proud of it, for some reason. Fuck if 8 know wh6

They’re also called javelinas in Texas.
