Looking for Javalina hunt in Phoenix area
I'm going to the Phoenix area to visit friends in cave creek in a few days and i wanted to know if anyone out there knows of a private hunting preserve or such that I could do a javalina (SP )hunt at? I did some research and I'm missing the season by a few days/weeks not to mention applying for a permit. I would like the hunt to be fair chase. Suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Thanks

Not really, sort of stepcousins to a wild hog.
From Wikipedia:"People often confuse peccaries, which are found in the New World, with pigs that originated in the Old World, especially since some domestic pigs brought by European settlers have escaped over the years and now run wild in many parts of the United States. These feral pigs are popularly known as razorback hogs. Relatives of the Old World pigs include the warthog of Africa. One of the ways to tell apart the two groups is the shape of the canine tooth, or tusk. In the Old World pigs the tusk is long and curves around on itself, whereas in the New World peccaries the tusk is short and straight. Peccaries use their tusks for defense; they feed chiefly on roots and grasses but also eat invertebrates and small vertebrates."
bowhunting world Feb. Issue had a good article on hunting the critters.
