I live in the general area, and yes, javelinas are a constant problem for everyone. Most peoples’ yards are fenced off for that very reason.
If you’re wondering what a javelina is, it’s what the rest of the world calls a peccary. It looks like a wild boar. Also, don’t try to get bacon bits off of it; they’ve got a scent gland that instantly destroys the flavor of the meat if it’s pierced. (Even if the scent gland is left intact, it’s a toss up as to whether you’d be able to stomach that meat.)
Nah, just research. “They’re pigs, right? Why don’t people just cook them and eat them?” A few Google searches made the answer abundantly clear. (Also, javelinas just plain stink. It’s a skunk-like odor, and who’d want to eat whatever is making that smell?)
What’s shitty about it? It’s just an abandoned mining town tourist trap with artsy hippies living there. I mean it’s not a place where you’d probably want to raise a family, but the landscape is beautiful and there are a few good restaurants and bars there.
I’ve always enjoyed my time there on a couple of roadtrips, but maybe you know something I don’t.

It’s like an anti-theft ink tag. 😂
Stank tag.
The culinary portion of this comment seems seasoned with experience and regret.

The old hunter’s joke for Javelina is “Wanna know how to cook a Javelina?”
“Dig a pit, put it on a board, roast it for 3 hours, throw out the Javelina and eat the board.”
When I worked in Peri we had a few collared peccaries around that were tame. Didn’t seem particularly smelly
They’re also called javelinas in Texas.
Anyone with the last name “Bisbee” living in AZ should change their name. That town is a shithole.
The people who keep the name are proud of it, for some reason. Fuck if 8 know wh6
