I'm also in the back of OLE, for the last 40 years, and agree that the pig numbers and damage are unprecedented. From having no nearby neighbors, to being surrounded on all four sides, you're right terracore, that every time a lot was dozed, pigs created more trails through mine. What is most disturbing is that at the beginning of ROD, my ohi'as were dying on the road front, and I assumed it was being spread via vehicular traffic. Once the pigs invaded, I saw many more dying along meandering paths. I followed the trails, and all the more recent deaths have signs of pigs rooting and doing severed damage around the base of the trees. It is heartbreaking.
