I wrote a few weeks ago about seeing the small herd of wild hogs crossing the road behind my house. (
this post). Last Wednesday morning, the day before Thanksgiving, I saw on on my street! He was hanging out in Stacy and Brent's yard, on the corner just where we enter the neighborhood from Precinct Line. It was about 5 a.m., and I'm sure he thought he had the street to himself. I stopped and watched him, wondering if he would stick around long enough for me to go get my camera. I didn't have to think about it long. His early morning activities interrupted, he took off toward Precinct Line, to disappear into the woods. I'm glad he didn't run toward me; he can run
much faster than I can! I will have to remember always to run in the morning with a camera and a high-powered rifle. Wild pork sausage anyone?

The swine was in this front yard. |

This is the swine's work, not in someone's yard, but along Precinct Line. |

Stacy and Brent were spared the hog landscaping job, but I did see some houses that were attacked. In fact, our next-door-neighbor's flower bed was turned up pretty good. I don't know why they didn't get the grass at our end of the street. |
