Javelinas eating pumpkins left out at a Sierra Vista home.
In what seems like an Arizona version of the movie "Caddyshack," a Sedona golf course is having trouble with wildlife.
But instead of the cinematic gopher, in this case its a pack of javelina is wreaking havoc on the greens.
This is also the time of year when we hear the warnings about how much javelina enjoy eating pumpkins.
To learn more about this often misunderstood mammal, The Show talked to Alexandra Flickinger, public affairs community liaison with the Arizona Game and Fish Department.
Flickinger talked about how common is it that there are stories of javelina that cause property damage or have run-ins with people in Arizona.
