AZDirtyTaco Report post Posted January 24, 2018 Alright Gents! If you are one of those guys that call javi 'stink pigs', can you please stop putting in for them and drawing tags??? I would really like more options when taking up left over tags. You don't like the meat and I'm not suggesting you should. They stink and taste awful - end of story. Thanks for the consideration. :-) . While we’re at can we stop calling them pigs of any kind. They are not pigs, they are not related to pigs. They are javelina. The funny thing is that, as a wildlife biologist who specializes in evolution and taxonomy, I know exactly what javelina are related to and even I've learned to go with the flow and call them pigs...sometimes even referring to them as stink pigs. I've even got my kids calling them pigs, although they absolutely know the reality. No matter what I call them, they are among my favorite things to hunt and they are great eating. But then I once ate a grasshopper on a dare and a cold pot roast MRE for breakfast, so there's that... I've even started saying Cooooze, but that's a whole other debate and thread. It has to be because cooooze or coooosi just sounds sooo much cooler than cows. Thing is... I love hunting and eating them (javelina). I have ZERO problemo with anyone contributing to the existing negative connotation or speaking in that type of vernacular. All it does is add to an already perceived notion that they are not good eating. Which is getting back the point and intended light nature of my post - I'm just looking for even less competition on tags and even better options on leftovers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZDirtyTaco Report post Posted January 26, 2018 http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/8832-coueswhitetailcom-dictionary/ Now this is funny - Javi -- Noun. A foul-smelling, debatably inedible new world species found from the American Southwest into Central and South America. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are "New World Pigs" as opposed to "Old World Pigs". You look at the snout and the teeth and common sense tells you they are some kind of pig. Pigs of a different feather, but pigs none the less regardless of what the books say. Just like a Bear is essentially a pig, or an Elk is essentially a Bovine. Missing one dew claw, and lacking a gal bladder does not disqualify you from being essentially a "PIG"... JMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
