Arizona Javelina Hunts
Javelina exist throughout much of the desert, chaparral, and ponderosa pine forests of Arizona. Javelina are a recent entrant into the state. Originating in South America, the species has steadily and naturally migrated northward. A rarity in southern AZ as recently as the mid 1800's these pig-like animals have established themselves throughout the state. Their distribution is commonly between 1000 and 6000 feet in elevation.

Arizona Javelina Habitat
Javelina can be found throughout the desert and chaparral portions of Arizona. More and more commonly Javelina are becoming prevelant in the areas above the Mogollon Rim as well. This is a testiment to the relatively mild winters in AZ, since Javelina are from a tropical South American environment they lack a downy undercoat to protect them from extreme cold. They tend to be in topographically broken country with ample cover, feed, and water. Washes, creeks, and ravines make for good protected areas for these pig-like animals. They a veracious eaters, and will root through the soil overturning rocks and logs in search of edible roots, tubers, insects, cacti, fruits, acorns, grass and more. They tend to have very habitual home ranges in areas that provide for all of their needs.
