Hunt for Javalinas on Texas Frontiers Ends in Kill
In April 1892 the author travels from Ovalde to the Frio ranch and Nueces River area seeking peccaries, or javalinas. After learning the species’ decline due to market hunting, a trek across dry uplands yields a band of five, leading to a dramatic chase and a careful kill with a rifle. The account notes dangers to dogs and riders, and describes peccary behavior, habitat, and reduced numbers on frontier ranches.
