Wild pigs are seen regularly at most all preserves in this area. As non-native species that do considerable damage of grounds & fauna, they are considered nuisance animals. Contractors are often utilized in State and county preserves to remove them, but they are so numerous and prolific it's doubtful their numbers will be significantly reduced.

Only the second one saw me so I moved out of his line of sight, then he followed the other one. It was pretty exciting, but further up the trail I saw a boar tusk laying on the ground. Just how frequent are boar sightings in this preserve?
