How I Used Trail Cameras

For the past five years, three properties have been regularly monitored to ensure the effective management of wild boar populations. The biotope, consisting primarily of orchards interspersed with thick hedgerows, is not highly conducive to the long-term establishment of sounders (groups of wild boars).

The specific environment of this territory cannot be approached in a conventional manner. For the most part, the boars arrive in the evening from outside areas and leave my hunting zone in the early morning. Their bedding areas are located in distant wasteland and along a river two kilometers away. Thus, by the time the game appears during legal shooting hours, they have crossed at least one road and another property before slipping into my hunting zone. During this journey made in daylight, a whole host of parameters comes into play, resulting in a different arrival time and entry point every single time.
