I have black bears and the rare mountain lion in my hunting area. I've only seen a bear once and that one responded to a raspy jackrabbit call while I was coyote hunting. What I have and see the most of is wild hogs. Hogs aren't uncommon at all in some of my hunting country and bumping a 300 pound boar or stumbling into a sow with piglets at night on a narrow trail winding through a clear cut with a climbing treestand and hunting pack on your back is a little unnerving.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
