Nice skull from the Javelina! If you guy's want to shoot some big one's, come over here to Yuma, AZ where I live.. Haha. The one in the picture was 70lbs

Not to hi-jack the OP’s post, but does it matter where the pig lives, as to taste? The Arizonians I have asked say they taste like shit.
I know that here in Ontario, black bears near town’s taste and smell like shit, as they eat a lot of peoples garbage, are javelina the same?

Depends where you shoot the Javelina at. If they feed in the alfalfa field's, I've heard they're good eating. But if you shoot them in the desert, they're not so good to eat..

Like any game meat how you take care of them will determine if they taste bad or not.

I've hunted them for 26+ years north of Tucson and out of 20+ ones that I have shot there was 1 that was inedible and that was because it took us a couple hours to find it and it was hot that day. But I will say that they have a taste that is different than anything else I have ate. Not a bad taste but different.
