All right folks. Welcome to the show today. We've got kind of a cool topic on the board here with my good friend John McAdams

From the Big Game Hunting podcast. I've been blessed with the opportunity to be on John's show a couple times and really enjoyed it.

So John's here now to talk to us about hunting Havilina in the southwest,

specifically with a muzzle odor, but share some general information about the species and DIY approaches.

Man, John, it's great to have you on the show.

Joseph, it is great to have you on the show. Joseph, it is great to be here.

Like you always say, I'm honored to be on your show.

You've, like you said, you've been on my show a couple times

and those have all been great episodes

that my audience has really loved so I hope I can do you

and your audience justice today by by also putting on a on a good show for you guys.

I'm sure you will. So man let's just dive right in here.

Havilina, what are they? Walk our listeners through what type of animal this is?

Sure, so the animal that often gets referred to as a Hevelina is scientifically referred to as a collard

peckery.

And they are a lot like a pig, but they're not as much like a pig as a lot of people think they are.

You look at one you're like oh man that looks a lot like a pig or a feral hog.

So in the scientific classification taxonomy you have kingdom phylem class order

family and genus and species in the scientific name of an animal. Well peckery

are in the same order as pigs and feral hogs, but they're not in the same family.

They're in the same order as really all even-toed ungulates to include giraffe, deer, kudu, all of that stuff.

But Havilina kind of branch off into their own thing really separate from everything
