In the Davis Mountains of west Texas, some developers bought the McGuire Ranch and subdivided it into small tracts for residences on these "ranchettes". It is indeed a nice setup. But as part of the Property Owners' Association deed restrictions, no shooting "or other noxious noises".
So, protected critters did as protected critters do, and made more critters. This includes javelina. Heaps, gobs and bunches of them.
One lady walked out onto her front porch one morning to discover many quite-happy javelinas and far fewer flowers. She swelled up like a toad and demanded of the POA folks that they "Do Something!"
Heh.
