rschaumb Report post Posted July 19, 2012 This is a little late but we had some close encounters with Javelina in December while scouting for our archery and rifle hunts. And this is with the Nikon D40 18-55mm lense so no real zooming here. A little scary being this close to mamma. Hope you enjoyed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kidso Report post Posted July 20, 2012 Years ago, as a teenager, I ran into some young ones like that...and in spite of everything (ethics, laws, etc.), I was going to snatch one and raise it as a pet. HOWEVER, when I reached down to pick it up, it raised the long bristles on its back and popped its baby teeth at me just like an adult would do. I was afraid it was going to bite off half of my finger. So, I wisely kept all my digits and walked away. Crazy teenage ideas! (I also wanted to find and raise a baby bobcat back then too). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Report post Posted July 20, 2012 Man, those are some great pictures! I love seeing those little reds. Javelina are really cool animals. Is that the umbellical cord on that last one? Looks like he could be just hours old. What a neat experience - thanks for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan H Report post Posted July 20, 2012 Those pictures are awesome, we get hem footballs in are back yard all the time with a semi domesticated herd but never with the cord . j_13 would have blown them away. is that first shot yawning or gettin ready to clack its teeth?::: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rschaumb Report post Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys. That is it's umbilical cord. They were no more than a day old. The first picture was just a yawn but boy does the picture look scary. The last picture you can see the mom's back behind the tree. I was on the one side and the baby was circling the mom for milk and then saw me and walked right toward me. It was less than a foot from the lens. It was a little scary being that close to mom but the most she did was stand up with hair raised like the second picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
