Nope, haven’t seen a wild hog or a domestic hog on any TV golf courses and I’ve been golfing here for over 15 years.

There was a dead one on 301 heading to the turnpike. 200lb or better.. could have been heading for a 7am tee time

They were here before development began, and development has made it hard for them to "go" anywhere else. So they stay mostly in whatever woods still exist and come out on occasion - since this IS their territory, whether we've infringed on it or not.

My suggestion - use that god-given right to defend yourself, your 2A rights - grab yourself a shotgun, and hunt yourself some supper. Wild boar meat is delicious, when cooked and prepared properly.

I'm sure you'll be able to find some genuinely local folks who know how to do that for you and would, for a fee or for the majority of the meat.

One of the first car trips down, we were driving south on 75 about 10 PM when a small wild pig started running across the lane, and made it as far as our left front bumper / tire in the left hand lane. .

no visible damage and too dark to see where the pig landed. .

My husband has seen them on Pelican and Heron.

Not golfing, but have seen them next to the cart path South of the Chitty Chatty Bridge .

Some years ago saw two or three wild pigs on Kenya Course near Canal and Bonita.

We see the hogs all the time in the southern villages. Next to the Chitty Chatty mm path towards the bridge you will see lots of damage from them digging. Also along Morse by the Aviary rec center. We (st Cats residents) spoke to TPTB about trapping them and were told that we could on our own property, but no traps on Villages property. The trapper would take the hogs as bounty in addition to a small amount from us. This fee was less than $500. The hogs have done thousands in damage already.
One of the alligators in Bradford took care of one of the babies for us.

Big difference between true Wild Boar and feral pigs.
Most sightings are feral.
They are the problem.

As to the original question about fencing, the answer is "no." The fencing is more decorative than functional in most areas. The pigs routinely burro under the fencing around the Chitty Chatty preserve

... and the gators take advantage of spots where there is no fencing. Beware of the gator crossing at the south end of the Chitty Chatty bridge, from the woods to the pond behind Ty Villas.

[Rwirish]

Yes and we get attacked frequently.
