Indeed it did matchbook. Now everyday I check the yard to see where piggy has been, last visit two nights ago. about 12 feet from the house. My kittys must have been watching from the porch.
(See the pics under wildlife in off topic)
That was the largest swath so far, it measures about ten by forty feet, and started right next to where I park my truck.
I got to get batteries for my game cam and set it up.

Mmmmmmmmm, pig roast and no rooting as a side benefit. Ponce Deleon, he must be cursed by any one with a feral pig problem

You could hold a pig roast to recoup some of the costs!

Yep, that's what pigs do; they can be very destructive. Probably you should get someone to shoot it. They can also be extremely dangerous if they have piglets or sharp tusks.
Louisiana State University researchers determined feral hogs caused $30 million in damage to crops and farm property in Louisiana in 2013. Soybean crops suffered the most damage, but hay, rice and corn weren't far behind. The wild swine can also be a source of disease among livestock and wildlife.
