Since I needed to check the camera and trap on the Jericho tract, we loaded up the whole family and went out for a hike today as well. We managed to find several nice pieces of pottery along with one great bird point arrowhead.

As for the trap, it was sprung but there was nothing in it. Damn hogs will get their noses under the door if you give them long enough… Luckily the camera told the story of what had been there. Looks like two packs of hogs, some deer and a bunch of raccoons.

I reset the hog trap, but now I am going to have to get a coon trap too! At $6 a bushel of corn, I definitely will not be feeding these suckers for long. And check out the midday movement during the full moon – That deer is out at almost dead noon.

And I also learned something about Trophy Rock, the mineral lick. Don’t let it sit in water! It rained so much this past weekend that it puddled up in front of the camera, and the water just ate my brand new rock away. I will not do that again…
