SAN RAMON, CA — The boars are back in town. Wild pigs have struck San Ramon once again, ABC7 reported. San Ramon resident Ted Hunting told the station he heard a scream and stepped outside to find his lawn torn up with tusk holes in the ground. The boars likely came down from the nearby hills, ABC7 reported. It's far from the first time that pigs have struck Tri-Valley. There was the time a neighborhood homeowners association hired a hunter to shoot down a 200-pound pig with a crossbow. In 2013 the state Department of Fish and Wildlife said a spell of dry weather was to blame for boar hijinx. As Doug Bell, wildlife program manager for the East Bay Regional Park District, told Patch two years ago after boars took Danville by storm: "We're never not having issues with them."
