Tonight we went hog hunting on swamp buggies at Deseret Ranch, a 365,000 acre cattle ranch owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It is one of the largest cattle operations in the world with 44,000 cows and 1300 bulls. The ranch has had to remove a lot of wild hogs from the land because they ruin the farm and grazing ground. There were around 1500 hogs removed over the last year, but do you think a group of rodeo queens could find one? You guessed it, we couldn't. The weather is colder than normal in Florida this winter and as a result a lot of the wild hogs are staying sheltered. I was kind of sad that I couldn't see a hog but Regina, my host mother still took me over to her neighbor's house so that I could get a picture of their pot-belly pig.
