On to hog hunting

[Machias]

Well yesterday trapping season ended here in VA.  So tomorrow I start running a hog bait.  I got a new wireless trail camera that sends photos via text and e-mail, which will save a little gas.  I'll share photos of the hogs I get on camera here and write about my hunts.  I'll be hunting mostly at night.  I have a motion activated green light, which turns on slowly and increases light over a few seconds.  I'll be bowhunting with a lighted sight. 

Couple of photos from last year

I hope you have better luck this year.  Stick a few!

Can you run hog traps there?  The big pen style ones?

[Machias]

You can, but I can't on these properties.  I have 5 properties that have hogs on them and they are all part of a hunting club.  Can hunt as hard and as often as I want, but no trapping.

how many can you take a year?

No limit, as many as you can kill every day of the year.

Spartan GoCam Blackout IR (Verizon Version)  Got it for $400 at the Great American Sports show in Harrisburg, PA last month.  Eventually you'll be able to add the device to your existing Verizon plan for $5 a month.  Hopefully by the end of April.  But right now I am on the HCO plan which is $17.99 a month.  I can receive about 5000 photos a month at that rate.

Will do, probably be a little slow until they find the bait site, but since I'm using one from last spring they should be on it pretty quick.
