I just never see any posts about Javelinas and know they are in the SW USA around Texas. Since they are related to hogs I figured the dogs would get after them pretty regular. They do have some teeth from the pics I have seen. I also heard they will gang up on a dog, so I was just curious if anyone had problems with them.
We have gators, pythons, green iguanas all over south Fla, have 6-8' Komodo Dragons (huge predatory lizards) down in extreme south Fla, and even have wild monkeys up around Silver Springs about 45 mins from me.
A guy I know had a place he could hunt that was in that area. He and a buddy had been drinking (imagine that...) and decided to load the dogs and hit the woods one Sat night. They drove in the gate and he said the trees hung over the road and made like a tunnel you had to drive through going down the woods road into the place. This was about midnight and they had been steadily drinking now.....
He said all of a sudden something crashes down on the hood of the truck, then stands up on two legs and looks at them through the windshield!! His buddy yells "BIGFOOT" and they both bail out of the truck (its still running and in gear...) and run off through the woods thinking Bigfoot was gaining on them the whole time.
It turned out to be one of the wild monkeys (they are about 3' tall and look too much like folks to suit me...) and when the truck ran into some trees and stalled, the monkey went back to the trees. I wish I could have gotten that on video, I would be rich right now.......
