Have a bit of hog sign that started appearing a few weeks back, put out a couple of cameras last week hoping to get a bit of an idea on their movements and times.
Was in the sheep yards reasonably early this morning drenching and foot bathing a mob of ewes, I checked the cameras once I finished, I should have done it before I started on the sheep. This boy was wondering around at 8am.
Probably close to 26" antler length so a good representative of Aus sambar, they only ever grow 3 points a side the number doesn't change with age they just increase in length, they are similar in size to elk averaging just a little smaller.
Camera is on the edge of about 10acres I ploughed in preparation for sowing some forage oats later this month. No doubt the visits will increase, last time I had oats in the same spot I had 5 different young stags visiting regularly and I dont know how many hinds but a few times I had pictures with 2 hinds both with young in tow in the one shot.
