Will trail cameras with flash disturb hogs?
It's been reported that hogs are coming into my area. Are they able to be patterned like deer and if so could I use flash trail cameras on them? What height should I set the camera at? I have river bottom land that I hunt on, I assume this would be a prime spot for them. What are some of most obvious sign they leave? FYI there is a total ban on baiting where I'm at. Thanks!

heh, the flash from my muzzle tends to bother em more!!

yes, the flash will bug them, for awhile .. if there is a food source or water nearby, they will not care...

since you said no baiting (that's BS .. more gummit in hunting aint a good thing, and only libs whine that you shoot an animal eating and at rest) then they may change their habits rather than adapt if its an incidential route

infrared cams work

cam should be about 30inchs of the ground.

obvious signs? if it looks like a tractor with a sheepsfoot went through, that's the most obivous sign!

I am getting nearly 100 pictures each night, and the flash doesn't seem to phase the hogs on my place.

Like jeffeosso said, the only flash that bothers them is the one from the end of a muzzle... Big Grin
