Episode 4 - Boone and Crockett Adds Javelina to Big Game Records Book
Discover why Boone and Crockett’s new Javelina records category could transform Southwestern hunting and conservation.
The Boone and Crockett Club has officially announced a brand-new records category for Javelina hunting, marking the first new addition in nearly 30 years. This episode dives into the step-by-step process of creating the category, from detailed proposals to committee approval, and explores the unique traits of Javelina that make them stand out in the world of big game hunting.
We discuss how Javelina are recognized as big game animals by many state agencies, the wildlife management strategies that keep populations healthy, and how this move will bolster both conservation and hunting culture across the Southwest. Learn about the official scoring process — including precise measurement standards — and the minimum entry requirement of 14 and five-sixteenths inches.
We also break down the differences between Javelina and feral hogs, highlighting their distinct ecological roles and management needs. From enhancing appreciation for the rugged beauty of Southwestern landscapes to documenting long-term conservation success stories, this new category promises to deepen hunters’ respect for one of North America’s most fascinating game animals.
