This is a field that wild hogs have torn up. They are digging up the planted clover, brassica and rye grass to eat tubulars a few inches+ in the ground. They will do this more times during the year creating holes that can easily be almost 2 feet deep. Try driving over those in a tractor or anything. Of course , they eat anything, including eggs, fawns, each other if one dies.

It's hard to see the destruction and depth from this picture. we've lost probably 2 acres of wildlife plots this year already...yes 2025!

Once again, I hate hogs, but I love bacon!

We are having significant issues with wild hogs ... again. In 2023 we killed and trapped 46, in 2024 hardly any..but now we get to see the results. Here are four 50lbs or so from last night in a trap.

This looks like a nice 2.5 year old buck. He will be a 8 pt but not outside the ears rack. We would pass. The Doe might be his mother with her twins.

We've had another lightening strike, or the EMP from a close one, take out most of our SouthWest Georgia Cameras. Here is a picture of what the surge did to an equipment box...blew out the cover into pieces, eq and cords "disconnected" !

This picture has a gopher tortoise on a farm road. The Gopher Tortoise are a federally protected species and are found mainly in the sandy soils of south Georgia. They dig extensive holes that other wildlife will inhabit. Yes, snakes too. Imagine crawling in a very tight tunnel and.... meeting a rattlesnake. A turtle could just fold up. Yuck, not for me!

We were hoping the doe and both her twins were still alive. These two pics are from yesterday and she looks fine. Let's hope the coyotes don't get the fawns.

Our first fawns of the year! She has twins, which is normal! Now, lets hope the coyotes don't get either fawn!

We got 11 hogs saturday night. A group of wild hogs is called a Sounder.

Wild hogs are still a problem for us. In 2023 we caught and killed 46 on our primary property. Traps are the best and most efficient method. Wild hogs do over $125 million in damages to farming processes in the State of Georgia, our base.

Spring is in the air along with pollen. However, this means fawns will start coming soon. May and June are primary months for does having fawns. A typical doe has twins, triplets are not unusual. If you see a fawn or encounter one, do not touch it or intervene. The mother does not stay with the fawn, she only visits to nurse it. If a fawn is near the road or in your driveway, call a Game Warden to help, if necessary, but most of all, do not bother the fawn.
