Oldiron -- kinda like the problem Detroit has in Illinois. Those that prey on others seem to migrate to certain cities.
For myself, I've always had a rifle in the truck. Shot plenty of coyotes and wild pig... rather, shot AT plenty of coyotes and pigs. Usually hit the pigs, but they are just tanks and keep on running. Evil, pure evil. Seeing wild pigs means I've got to add a 2 hour project to the list of getting the tractor, putting the cultivator or tiller on it and coming back to rake and straighten out the field damage they do.
Only had to threaten one 2-legged varmant one time and he hasn't been back. Meth-head.
