If you live in the South, and a quickly growing number of other regions, there is a nuisance animal that is almost impossible to ignore.

Wild hogs.

According to a 2020 report by Texas Parks & Wildlife, the population of wild hogs in the United States grew from 2.4 million to 6.9 million, just between 1982 and 2016. It continues to grow at high rates (18-21% per year) due to a “high reproduction rate, generalist diet, and lack of natural predators.” In the same time frame, feral hogs have expanded their range from 18 states to 35.

According to the Arizona Weatherman, the Arizona Monsoon Season officially started on 15 Jun 2024. How are you enjoying the plethora of thunderstorms and rain showers? What and where are they, you say? And you would be correct; the convective activity has been mostly absent so far. But to be fair, the monsoon start date does not mean the pattern has actually been set up, but it will be coming soon. That is what the models indicate: an on-time typical climatological start date for the season to begin. The monsoon pattern is looking to start setting up around 21 Jun 2024 this year for Arizona.

We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
