About 180-190yds from the camp house. Got some questionable-looking visitors. My house-place is across the cut-over in the background, with the house being on the timberline. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/vtuez1Sh.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/ildem7Dh.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Y6f45hhh.jpg) Put another camera up a couple weeks ago about 60 yards off the front porch and got a big sow and her brood rooting around in my yard. Guess it's time to start baiting some traps. My dad's house is a mile or so down the road and his dogs ran a 40lb piglet up onto his porch a few weeks back. It ran straight into the glass door and almost broke it. These buggers are somewhat nomadic, but when they show up, they make their presence known.
Now with even more aplomb

I think it can be up to twice a year. And they are having litters inside of the first year.
Some guys a few miles north of us are using cell-signal boosting setups with camera-activated trap doors on pens and doing pretty well. I think they've caught around a hundred this spring. Signal is horrible on my property, so that's a no-go for us.

Their gestation is 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days. They can download a bunch of pork in a year.

WoW that's a pretty quick turnaround breeding cycle, guess it's divine intervention that they also taste so good!
