That mottled sunlight looks pretty nice, all serene and stuff. But I was standing right in front of a formidable trap that was in use to catch feral hogs. Those hogs are gigantic and extremely destructive – it fact the earth all around this building was sort of plowed up by their foraging.

From the evidence – a single shell casing on the ground near the trap – I think the population was recently reduced by one, anyway.
