javelina

There’s a chapter called “Javelina Sunset,” which is about javelinas coming into the park looking for food.

On Dec. 11, video recorders captured a mountain lion sniffing around, followed on Dec. 14 by a foraging mama bear and cub, two javelinas on Dec. 18 and, the next day, a sad-eyed ringtail cat.

“They’ve both grown up with firearms, and a lot of their, like, really positive memories involve firearms,” he said, describing the family’s pursuit of elk, deer, javelina and quail for food.

So far, the javelinas have hit eight spots on the course, from all sides.

The crew spotted significant numbers of elk, deer, javelina and even rabbits — but no additional cattle were found following the operation.
