Re: Wild Hogs!
Kewl pixs Krickette and Rusti...I don't have any trail cams, but maybe I will invest in one or two soon.
Krickette, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but those are not wild hogs, those are ferel hogs (their color pattern indicates domestic origins). Man, I watch too much Discovery Channel, and Animal Planet (can't forget Monster Quest and/or Destination Truth's search for Hogzilla).
Re: Wild Hogs!
Wow, I'm glad I don't have bears to worry about!!!
So you think they are just like, descendants of someone's pigs? Hope they don't belong to anyone, because dad might go trapping them. We don't need hogs tearing things up. All this haynesville shale stuff is around us, and they have pad sites everywhere, new pipelines going in, etc, so we're thinking that's what's pushing them onto our land.
Re: Wild Hogs!
Yes, I suspect they are decendants of someones "escapee".
The problem is that once they go ferel, they can be even more dangerous than a truly wild boar because they do not have the natural fear of man that the boar has. Think of a ferel pack of dogs vs a wolf or coyote.
And yes they can be very distructive and most states consider them nuscence animals like a coyote with open season (p.s. they taste just great and are leaner than farm raised pork).
Re: Wild Hogs!
That's so funny...we have tons of wild hogs and NEVER catch any on our cameras. They're sneaky devils. I hear them almost every night in the summer though, they tear up a few patches and waller around where our front pasture meets the mountain/woods. Here's what we DID catch on camera (and seen in real life a couple times..EEK!):

And I love checking the memory cards and seeing funny pictures like these:
