  1. HOG CONTROL USING THE COMBINED ARMS APPROACH

  2. Saturday, Brian Monhof and I went to deliver a JAGER M.I.N.E. Trap to a farmer in South Georgia. We then continued to Thomasville, GA to service a few hog bait sites and conduct hog control on a plantation in the area. • We had every intention of spending the night on the plantation conducting hog control when my phone started receiving text messages from one of my traps 15 min southwest of Perry, Georgia. The first picture, of a single sow in the trap, came in at 6:21 P.M. • I was expecting the sounder to show up as they are on about a three day visit schedule. 10 minutes later I received a picture with 3 adult sows in the trap.

  3. This is the first time that I had seen these three adults in the trap in the month that I have been working this area. Normally there are two adults and 9 shoats in the trap and four adults that stay outside the trap. • We started monitoring the I.C.E. camera I have mounted outside the front gate and made a decision to close the trap if the fourth adult showed up in the trap and there were no other hogs around. At 6:51 P.M. the M.I.N.E. camera sent me a text message showing four adults in the trap, 3 pregnant sows and a boar. • We turned the truck around and started heading to Perry, Georgia. The trip was going to take about 2 ½ hours and I was concerned that the other 11 hogs might be in the area, so we waited to close the two JAGER M.I.N.E doors until I felt we could wait no longer. At 7:05 P.M. I received a picture showing all four adults in the trap and most of the corn gone. The time had come for Brian to close the two gates by sending a text message to the M.I.N.E. camera.

  4. The time had come for Brian to close the two gates by sending a text message to the M.I.N.E. camera. Brian then sent both the I.C.E. and M.I.N.E. cameras a text message to command them to take a picture. The two cameras sent us a picture showing both gates were closed, four adults in the trap and no other hogs in the area. • We pulled in to the field about 9:30 P.M. I wanted to take a look at the field to see if any hogs had come out to feed prior to going to the trap site. I walked up to the top of the hill. The wind was out of the southwest so we had a great crosswind. I glassed the field through my 100m thermal optic and found the trap site. One hog was in the wood line at the trap’s front door. I went back to the truck to get my AR 10 .308 rifle outfitted with the Armasight 640 x 512 75mm thermal optic. I told Brian we had one hog and he said “I know, I saw the text picture that just came in at 9:51 P.M.

  5. I told him I was going to shoot the single outside the trap with my suppressor and then we would get the hogs in the trap. • When we made it back to the top of the hill, we saw that the one hog had turned into 8 hogs trying to get into the trap and 2 adults and a shoat feeding in the field.
