A lot of folks wouldn’t know pig scat if they don’t have a lot of pigs. A lot of folks wouldn’t know pig tracks if they don’t have pigs. The minute you showed the hair and droppings I knew you had pigs, lol.
I agree, here in the South unless you have dirt roads, sign can be hard to find. Ain’t met a trapper yet that can show me a coyote trail in pine straw or even which trail through the broomsedge one is using. Cameras are really a time saver for hogs and predator trapping. Don’t know of any combined best trappers on here that have enough traps to set every intersection or trail we have. I got a camera on an intersection now that I thought was going to be THE spot for critters. Big pines next to a 2yr old clearcut. So far, deer and a few rabbits…not the first predator, lol.
As far as the cameras, yeah they’re cheap and if you buy them from Walmart you can buy a 2-3 year warranty for about $3-5 extra bucks. Camera quits in that time or gets foggy, take it back and exchange it, lol. Those cameras are great for trails, I use the Spartans on actual bait sites when I need to know exactly when the pigs are there for killing purposes.
Good video Wolfie, thanks for sharing. I believe I’d figure the best approaches for different winds and make use of your thermal or NV!!!
Yep if your not from down here you don't get it usually. I've tried to explain before but...yeah. there trails I've posting and folks said they looked dead and when I put a camera on there active as all get out. And inter sections... Lord
This is a decent chunk of the property
