    Question For All You Hog Experts

    I have been hunting out at my lady's grandparents place for 2 years now. Never really seen much besides a few does and have only killed 2 of them. I let my feeder run out after season because I had planned on taking them down once it was empty. Well today i went to take it down and as I was walking up there I noticed some spots that were rooted. Now I know that a armadillo will do some rooting around. But these seem like too big of patches to be an armadillo. Especially the over turned rocks. So i decided to move the feeder up the hill to where the biggest concentration of these patches is. I had to run to the feed store to buy some corn and pick up another battery. Well I filled the feeder up, then i put the battery in. Then i tried to use the timer... and nada. So I am guessing its a bad battery. I didn't have time to go back and swap it for another today. So i am doing it first thing in the morning. In the mean time y'all tell me what y'all think about these "spots". I know the pictures are bad. But most of these spots are 4-6 inches deep. There aren't any tracks to go off of due to the tad bit of rain we have had. I haven't ever seen hogs out there but some of the neighbors have. But they haven't seen any lately.
    wow now that i have them online i can see just how awful they are. You have to look close at them. BTW i think someone hunted there before me. and right where i want my tripod! oh and are these blackberries?
    You can see it under the trees sorta!

      The hog rooting I see is way worse than that with no doubts whatsoever. I'm not sure that's hogs. If it is, could be just one or two moving through quickly.

            The hog rooting I've seen looks a lot worse than that.

              Well I've been getting lots of pictures of them. Just pulled the cam card and thought these would be worthy. After all they are the only regulars:l plus a bonus deer pic

                    Well you got pigs but the pics that I could make any digging in look like you have a skunk/armadillo infestation also.

                      No skunks or Dillos seem to date. However the coon issue needs to be dealt with. There is also a porcupine issue!
