I vaguely recall a few years ago that there were places in the Santa Cruz
mountains where wild pigs had become quite a problem.  Is there still a
problem up there?  If so, where?  Mainly just curious.

They have been spotted recently in the hills above Aptos and on the other
side around Calero Res.

	They apparently like to hang out near where we recently moved
(about 6 miles east of Summit/17, on the south side of Summit). One of our
neighbors lives on 300 acres of farm, and they see herds of up to 12-15 at
a time reasonably frequently. About 2 years ago, a wild piglet got caught in
their chicken coop, so they made it into a "pet". She now lives in a pen on
the farm, and is apparently a very handy scrap-food disposal unit. She now
also weighs about 250 lbs., has tusks, and is pretty noisy. Very cool pig.

Several years ago when I lived in Felton (on Fall Creek), I saw several 
at my front door...
