It must have been an old hole! Not enough sand on top of the ground. He came out of the hole.

A creek is a small stream.
A crick is what one gets in one's neck.
A pain in the neck is one who not only does not know how to pronounce creek, but also does not know how to spell it.
I still love my all of my brothers, non the less.

I will share how my people pronounce a word oddly.
There are actually two of them.
1) Roots. We do not pronounce it similar to boots, nor like ruts. It sounds somewhere in between.
2) Roof. Not like goof, nor like ruff. But again, somewhere in between.

Regardless, there is little to no excuse for missing a giant whistle pig. Then again, I am sure that the shock of seeing one this early in the season would throw a guy off his game...

I almost said groundhog but didn't know the size.Groundhogs are squirrels and the tracks are close to identical.Note how the 3 middle toes are almost paralell.That's a squirrel family trait.I've seen them out,even earlier.I always assumed it was a breeding thing.
