I don't bear a grudge against the charming little toots with their impossibly dainty feet, but would like to hunt them once. I'll do some research and try to find a high-odds, old guy-friendly tag to apply for here in southern New Mexico.
I'll put in some study time here:

And I ordered this book from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1623..._dt_b_fed_asin_title
I have friends here in the Southwest who have hunted the peccaries all their lives and swear the meat can be prepared so as to be delicious. Looking forward to this.
Even thinking of hunting them with the old Remington Model 8 in .25 Remington that my gunsmith has painstakingly rebarreled for me. (It has been a chore, he tells me, and he is a retired Army armorer. For example the muzzle end threads are 18 per inch, with the first four V-threads and the rest square threads!)
Sound like a good plan to ponder over the chilly winter days?
