As far as Texas Javelina are concerned, I have been there twice killed Javelina both times and the ones in South TX were covered in fleas and ticks, the ones in West TX not so much. dang I’m surprised you can even see us little folks from the top of that high horse.  The only time ive have them smell less was after several days of rain and killed one in the rain. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always thought that if you put enough BBQ sauce, onions, and garlic on something it would at least be edible. How wrong I was. My Buddy makes a sausage out of them, and he mixes enough pork and spices with it that it doesn't taste like Javelina. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdown Report post Posted March 5, 2019 I posted this in another stream one time, but after 20+years shooting these things and I couldn't count how many pigs out of our group I still can't figure out why there are occasions when they are some of best tasting meat or some of the worst. We pitted a few one time along with just about every other game and I swear melted in your mouth and gone before anything else was, did it again a few years later and just horrible. Last year we cut and grilled some fresh backstraps for a buddy from out of state the day he killed his first and they were fantastic. I got excited and did the same thing for my wife and daughter after they killed their first last year and just not good. All taken care of relatively the same way. So I typically use for summer sausage, jerky, b-fast sausage and chorizo and it always comes out good with the mix and about 15-20% pork shoulder or bacon bits and pieces mixed in and save my deer/elk/antelope for steaks and burger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always brine them twice and let the meat rest for up to a week in the fridge. I shot a buck this year and it was really gamey/stinky and the worst I have ever had.

More for me! I couldn't agree more...^^^ ___ The trouble is for some reason a lot of them still kill then disrespect the little desert warriors, and I suspect many of those same guys waste the meat which is unacceptable. If they are such a low level piece of trash not worthy of anything more than being referred to as a "stink-a-lina", "stink pigs", "rats", or "rodents" then why would these "hunters" debase themselves and hunt such worthless stinky piece of garbage?

JMO Exactly what I was thinking, I tell people that I enjoy eating javelina and then every Tom dick and Harry try’s to offer me their javelina if they get one. Should be illegal to harvest an animal with the intent of not eating it. Truthfully I think it’s a lot of newish hunters who are able to have success at actually getting something. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
