They could be looking for the Winifred bear.

If they were in fact wild boars, they would go well with pappardelle pasta and a sauce with porcini mushrooms, called Cinghiale in Italy. Guess I have been in Italy too long...

Sanibel here I come..........

A couple years ago we were on I-10 West of Tallahassee and I spotted a small herd (maybe 7 or 8) of pot belly pigs munching grass in the South side right of way. A few miles later I stopped for gas. A Hwy Patrol car was in the station and I told the officer about the pigs - he didn't seem surprised, just made a call and went on his way.

Might be an opportunity to open a "Hoggers"-type business in TV.

You heard it first here.

Perhaps the Morses will consider a new model in the Villages....the Strawhouse.

A few years back, didn't they have a lottery, to be chosen to eradicate (spelling?) BOARS at Cane Garden on Hibiscus?? They were messing up the greens with their horns, looking for grubs, etc. I'm pretty sure, hunters were chosen to eliminate as many as possible at night!! Maybe someone knows more then I do? I was told this on Mens day a few years back Must have been a lot of bacon that day!!

Could not believe my eyes!! has anyone seen them around? I wanted to stop to take a pic but there was too many carts around and I couldn't pull over.
I saw them at the starter shack at Bacall/Bogart two days ago. A couple of us took pictures of them. They were friendly and not afraid at all. They wandered off onto Bacall course.

I saw them two days ago in front of starter shack at Bacall/Bogart late afternoon. Took pictures of them. Several golf carts and cars stopped to watch them. They wandered onto Bacall course.
