They’re out there…

But I’ve never seen wild pigs here.  I’ve been out for wild boar twice in the People’s Republik of Kalifornia, but all I ever got was poison oak.   I sure would like to get out again, and one of my resolutions for 2017 is to do exactly that with a new Model 70 Winchester I’m picking up later today.  Probably not in California, though.  The hunting laws here are too restrictive and the prohibition on lead bullets is just plain weird.  I’m going to chase pigs next year, probably in the southeastern United States, where the wild pig population is (I’m told) out of control.  2017 is going to be a great year.

Anyway, that rather unusual pig crossing sign you see in the photo above is the real deal, and it was posted just south of Monterey, California, along the Pacific Coast Highway.   I grabbed that photo yesterday morning.  I didn’t see any pigs, but the sign caught my attention.  I did see a few zebras later in the day (no kidding), and I’ll tell you about those later.
