What is that beast?  Did it have a tracking collar on it?

I'm sorry about the picture.  I intended to send a picture of some wild flowers, but somewhere along the way my fingers hit the wrong key. 

Baker, that thing is a wild pig, often called feral pigs.  This is about a 350 pound boar, male pig.  I shoot and trap about 100 of them per year.  If I didn't they there would be a pig about every ten feet.  :)  They are a pain in the rear.

Lazy, one night this spring, a feral hog made a fatal waltz into my sights.  It was eating pecans under the trees about 150 ft behind the house.  We have a night vision scope for their next visit.  :-)

Lazy that makes me really regretful of not being able to take advantage of your offer to spend some time in Texas back earlier.  I am hoping for next year.  I am still appreciative of the offer.

Dunkel:

I'm late replying to this, as I worked several days after this posting.  I intend to be here next year, the Good Lord willing.  As they say on the TV show: "come on down."
