Sounds like you live in the country?  I live in a gated area of the city that abuts a State 
Park.  The park has all kinds of varmints, including wild boar.  When I first moved in, I 
noticed that the lawn was a little sparse, and I love a beautiful lawn.  Turns out that the 
boars hunted grubs shortly before we moved here, and they tore up the lawn.

We do see them on occasion if the area is dry and they decide to cross back into our 
area when the water recedes a bit.

We do have the occasional deer, armadillo, an occasional panther but that is rare.
