Maybe Matt will drop in and see this and elaborate since it was after all his critter sighting. But in the mean time I'll report it as best as I can.
Last night as Matt turned off the state highway into my driveway he reported seeing a multi-colored/spotted critter run from the neighbor's place across my driveway and into my swamp. He isn't exactly sure what it was. I think he said primary colors were brown, white and black. Much larger than a cat he said and not shaggy. I think the word he used to descrite it was slick. His impression was it might be a hog.
Now I reckon that's possible as hog are spreading all over the place. But if so it's the first hog sighting I'm aware of anywhere near here. Could be someone is raising hogs nearby and I just don't know it. If that's the case one could have escaped. Or they could have just followed the creeks and moved into this area. Dunno. After breakfast I plan to hop on the four wheeler and ride down to take a look. Wanna see if I can tell what sorta tracks are around there. The area he says it crossed my driveway should be pretty much a muddy mess on the swamp side right now. Maybe some decent tracks will be showing.
