I thought I'd give this thread an update.
since the last time I posted I caught up with the two remaining boar within a fortnight with the aid of a Drone Pro.
it has been quiet since with no sign of any pigs......until two weeks ago. We now have a couple of sites that are feeding every night, one of the pigs is a spotty thing, again a male around the forty kilo mark.
they all seemed to appear at the same time, albeit at either ends of the Estate. One pig has burst a deer fence on a plantation and now we have a deer problem too.
The Drone Pro is certainly a nice bit of kit....
Strangely we haven't had the feeding damage or population explosion people thought we would.
excuse the IR flare from the spycam, we ran out of post height.

A 10sec clip of a spotty Wild Boar we have at the minute. This little piggy.... visited two different bait barrels in th same night, the barrels are somewhere in the region of 6 miles apart and a climb of 1000ft over the hills. I wouldn't have believed it unless id seen it myself.

Over with us the F.C estimated 800 pigs and a target cull of 400. They managed to get about 350 but their recent thermal survey from an aircraft identified over 1200 pigs.
They have started their cull already, a month earlier than planned and said they are not putting any limits on numbers culled this year.
I suspect they may do a bit better if they would only try night shooting instead of just during the day.
