My junior hunting partner, a bow hunter, has invested in a pair of Trail Cameras with WiFi reporting capability. As the camera is triggered by wildlife (or anything), it sends a REAL TIME thumbnail image. As I recover from some surgeries, he gifted me a subscription and day or night, I get the instantaneous images too.

Too Easy! Patterning hogs is going to be substantively easier. No more sitting and waiting for days. Target times, be there ahead or the game, and Get 'er Done.

Florida has a liberal private land take law for hogs starting with the regulation that a hog is owned by the landowner upon which the hog occurs. Managed State Lands have a specific season for public hunting of hogs. State Conservation Lands have no hunting. I am situated on two sides immediately against State Conservation Land and another side across a highway from State Managed land, but the rural nature of it all is such that the wildlife doesn't care and wanders freely, sometimes getting wasted on the State highway to the north of me.

The woods adjacent to me are a HUGE WILDLIFE PUMP. We have killed many hundreds of hogs in the 35-years I have owned my land. I had hopes in the beginning of hunting deer there in season. When hogs are plentiful, snakes and deer are scarce. Two black bears roam there freely too, but they tend to drive the other wildlife away. Turkey, raccoons, opossum, once a pony, and once a steer, found their way into the ever watching eye of the camera.

I will sit, and sit, and sit, and sit trying to see a mature buck in daylight in season. They are scarcer than hen's teeth. I have killed, at most, 5 maybe 6 over the 35-years. They come in the middle of the night, mostly. Turkey are too easy and I don't target them. Flocks of 20+ wander under the tower stand, glu-gluing their way, eating seeds and corms.

The State almost encourages us to put up feeders for attracting hogs. It is OK to put up solar lights and shoot into the night 24/7/365. There is a LOT of trigger time hunting and killing hogs.
If it was easy, anybody could do it.
