Desperate Housewives Eva Longoria Hunts Wild Pigs For Tamales

Hummmmmmmm

NEW YORK -- Christmas is just over a month away, so it's time for Eva Longoria to load up her shotgun.

Longoria told Cosmopolitan magazine that being from Texas, she and her family "kill wild pigs for tamales."

The "Desperate Housewives" star said "hunting is a family thing" and they eat all they kill.

Longoria is such a good shot she beat Kiefer Sutherland and Michael Douglas at a shooting range while filming the movie "The Sentinel."
 
My dentist growing up was named Jack Bower. He was a 70+ year old vegetarian, who I don't think he had ever fired a gun in his life. Definatley NOT Counter-Terrorist material. I always get a kick out of 24.
 
I think I just became a fan of Eva.

Michael Douglas was at a shooting range ? I assumed he was an anti- with his part and speech in The President. It was hilarious: in the same paragraph he complained about the ACLU detractors not understanding the ACLU was for their Bill of Rights, and then he was making denigrating remarks about gun ownership.
 
And what's the difference between feral pigs, javelinas, and razorbacks ?

I'm not saying they're the same (I know I'd rather be in a small room with a javelina than a razorback), just curious.
 
Here is a pic for those that don't watch her show

I do apologize, we actually do have some attractive women in Texas, not sure how this one got out...
:p

Michael Douglas is definitely an anti. He is one of the representatives to the UN program for small arms control IIRC. Just because they don't want the little people to have guns doesn't mean they don't like them...
 
She worked in the Kerry-Edwards campaign. :barf:

Guns and hunting for me, but not thee serf. Must be nice to be royalty.
 
Hey Kerry is a hunter ...or was for the photo op. He even adopted a midwestern accent for a few days....what more do you want?

Besides...we don't want to marry her.
 
Longoria/Parker

Tony's a heck of a shot himself..on the court! Those Corpus Christi girls are Killer Bee!

Want a rush? Hunt Javaline in Deep South Texas on a narrow path with the brush so thick there's no getting off the trail! The pig's bearing down on you..better be good with that shooter.

And hunting coyotes at night with a light on your hard hat to show only those eyes! It's a kick!

Take Care

A javelina isn't a pig at all. A razorback is either a particular type of feral pig or just a regional term for it, I'm not sure which. A feral pig can be any type of domesticated swine that has gone wild from being left to run. People also refer to feral pigs that are wild eurasian hogs that were imported and released. Texas has all three. The latter two interbreed, and frequently there would be no way of determining exactly what you had without a dna test. The feral hogs in my area are mostly a Russian boar variety introduced in the 1930's. Here's one I trapped a few years back

Javelina versus feral pig

The differences:

The peccary (also known by its Spanish name, javelina or pecarí) is a medium-sized mammal of the family Tayassuidae. Peccaries are related to pigs and hippopotamuses, but are found in the southwestern area of North America and throughout South America. It is sometimes erroneously said that they are members of the rodent order; they are not. Peccaries usually measure between 90 and 130 cm in length (3 to 4 feet), and a full-grown adult usually weighs between about 20 and about 40 kilograms (44 to 88 pounds).

People often confuse peccaries, which are found in the New World, with pigs that originated in the Old World, especially since some domestic pigs brought by European settlers have escaped over the years and now run wild in many parts of the United States. These feral pigs are popularly known as razorback hogs. Relatives of the Old World pigs include the warthog of Africa. One of the ways to tell apart the two groups is the shape of the canine tooth, or tusk. In the Old World pigs the tusk is long and curves around on itself, whereas in the New World peccaries the tusk is short and straight. Peccaries are plant eaters and use their tusks for defense. By rubbing the tusks together they can make a chattering noise that warns potential predators to not get too close.

I saw a pack of Javelinas when I was hiking in Sedona one time. There were about 20 of them about ten yards away. I watched them for a few minutes and then moved on. I hear they can be aggressive in certain circumstances.

And people do eat them, but I was told that they need to be eaten very soon after killed, or else ... something ... the meat turns sour or bitter ?

The tourist shops in Arizona have a book entitled "The Three Javelinas." :)
 
The "making of" special feature on The Sentinel dvd is amusing. Particularly in reference to her outshooting Keifer, which kinda surprised me. According to the anecdote, 'he shot low, and Michael couldn't even get them on the target.' Not a bad film, by the way, if you can overlook the terrible tactics and a couple of gun related errors - It's a tiny bit above average for gun handling. Particularly impressive to me was Kiefer's Secret Service investigator character identifying a bullet in a wood post as having been fired from a silencer by it's lack of penetration. On the downside, the rounds were truly "silenced" when fired. Typical Hollywood error.
 
Ms Longoria did "20 Questions" in a recent issue of Playboy wher she also mentioned how much she enjoyed shooting/hunting. No particular comments on her pollitics, though -
