And minutes old calves like this.
But, we were a little stumped to find this track in our yard. Oh, I know some of you will easily say that it is a deer track.
But I ask you, would a deer do this? Even a herd of deer wouldn't do this.
This is actually part of our 84 year old neighbors yard as we found it the other morning. Gone are the smooth lawn tractor riding days. Her entire yard has been torn up. Any guesses as to what wondrous creature would do this?
Let me give you a clue. Have you ever read this book? My girls love it for all of it's smelly humor.
But we be havin' us some wild boars for reals!
And they ain't purty!
I told you I live in the sticks.

I would never have guessed. Um, that last picure? Is he posing or being posed? If you get my meanin.
I would love it. My husband used to hunt wild hogs he is from Arkansas. They would catch the babies and feed them.Those suckers are mean.
I thought Wild Boars as soon as I saw the foot print. I use to live where there were wild boars and they are mean and ugly.
I have been meaning to tell you that I love your playlist. I left your blog on one day for the longest time just to listen to the music while I cleaned. I had to go make my own blog list and it was fun. Thanks for sharing. I also LOVE your new heading.
HA! This is too funny.
Thanks for giving me a morning chuckle.
Woe! I hope the boars stay south of the line. We have duck crossing signs here in Michigan and they are so cute ~ the signs I mean. Ok, so are the ducks.
Oh my! That is all I can say ... oh my!
ooo!!! they can be mean, too, can't they???
I was thinking buffalo .. . those crazy boars made a big mess!
nope. not purty. sticks are still the bomb though.
Uh.. WOW. Did they use their husks or horns (haha) to dig up the yard? That's awful! They are the most ugly creatures.... did they come through in the middle of the night? You're leaving me in suspense Dana! You can't do that! lol I need DETAILS woman! DETAILS! lol And, I gotta tell ya ... when I first moved to TN after I got married, we lived at my husband's grandpa's farm house in the upstairs apartment. He rented out his land to his friend that had cows. For the longest time I hated those suckers. Now I have a fond opinion of them, and it helps that Ree (Pioneer Woman) always shows the really cute stuff. LOL *ahem* Long story over. Sorry. lol
That is just not right. He looks like some lecherous, grizzled drunk giving you the eye and making indecent comments!
Wow - I hope those wild things don't run someone over! Funny!
So hilarious:)
What a handsome fellow;-)
If you saw two tracks side-by-side in this country you'd probably think they were roo tracks.

Just as I was about to say it was pigs, I scrolled down. We see that kind of damage around here a lot. They destroy sugar cane crops, tear up the national parks, eat sea turtle eggs and do all sorts of other damage. Awful animals (but not as awful as cane toads)! I wonder if they taste good...
Dear God a am scared for life that thing is scary
Oh my goodness! Aren't they a bit dangerous? My dad would be in heaven--he just loves every little bit of wildlife. What a mess!
eww! I was going to say maybe a bison got loose if you had a bison farm around, but a boar? yuck!
Okay, that's pretty scary looking. You DO live in the sticks!
Jen :)
That's disgusting! How did you manage to get such a close up shot!? You are one brave mama to live so close to such beasties! All we've got nearby are coyotes. And they aren't quite so much ugly!
OMG! how nasty!!
YIKES! Those are some mean critters!
~Tam :D
Do I sense a pork roast in the near future?! Are we all invited?
That is so not good.
Wow - is that last one dead or alive? They're not the cutest things are they? Maybe you could convince them to till your garden for you... and then stay away!
Holy Moly!
I think I want to live where you live!! So beautiful, and quiet.
what a bummer...wild pigs are a really big problem on kauai...they are no longer sticking to the mountains but tearing up yards and estates. they are pretty tasty smoked i can tell you that :-)
and this is why I live in suburbia by the beach :)
I did grow up as a country bumpkin though, but never with wild boars. Wow.
All I can say is WOW!
You needed the Deer Hunter pronto!
Ooooh, Yahhhh! You dooooo live in the sticks! LOL. Glad those critters don't leave around here.
That's ca-razy!! Reminds me of the princess bride for some reason....
