Danno Posted December 28, 2020 "Make decent pets." So do these:  NOT!  Your new neighbors might try to convince you they're just lovable little Sonoran pot belly pigs. (They do that to newcomers, the sadistic SOBs.) These guys (Javelinas) are anything but "pet"able.  🌵😎 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm, I says to myself. Free range porkchops (apparently good eating as long as they're handled right in the field). I now have recipes for all kinds of porky goodness, including javelina pastrami. Only critters I've seen on the ground so far are lotsa well-camouflaged tarantulas (no recipes for big hairy spiders yet, alas...I'll leave that to the Cambods), two kinds of rabbits, and quail (and the big gopher my neighbor caught).

Yup, still moving, but stuck here until I finish up my part of a high-end '66 Chevelle I promised I'd see through to the end. Getting close to engine-start, and not too long after that I can hand it off to paint. Then I'll move the first truckload to the place in Az. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I already have a 55 gallon drum to seal myself into, and 50 feet of 5/16" tow chain to lash it to a 150-year-old Joshua tree that's most likely lived through dozens of haboobs.   Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The term "wild pigs" covers a lot of two-legged homo sapien critters! 🌵😎 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
