HOGZILLA and other Alabama Wildlife (Trail Camera Videos)

Thanks Michael

[@michelletauson2867]

Loved the coyote and bobcat footage! The wild pig population seems robust in your area, we don't have those in Maryland. I was mowing pastures last week and watched a group of older fox kits playing - turned the tractor off and enjoyed the moment. Made my day!

[@Michael.Outside]

Awesome!

[@joaovermelho0084]

The video already begins with a beautiful lynx.

[@rose-rose13]

The bobcat is beautiful 😊

[@Livingmydreammm]

So cool

[@bobnelsonfr]

Lotsa wild pigs!

[@loraineriddell7157]

Gorgeous ❤️. I love the deer tentatively peeking around the corner with those enormous night eyes. That's one big boy of a pig there 😲. Just as well they don't have tusks.

[@obecerra123]

Love all the variations of coats the hogs have

[@Michael.Outside]

Yes it’s interesting the different colors.

[@ronsamborski6230]

Another very interesting trail camera video. Thanks, Michael! 👍🏼

[@Michael.Outside]

My pleasure.

Great spot...what are they munching, acorn or roots or grass? Love the bobcat...nice to see the diversity. I hope you keep sharing/posting

[@Michael.Outside]

Acorns. Lots of pin oaks here.

OOOOOOH!!! Ya had me at HOGZ…!!! 😍 What a handsome piddy!!! He reminded me of Lard Vader, a wild one I was blessed to be able to watch for a couple years on my cams- till the ignorant wannabe “hunter” cityboys came to the lease next door… 🤬 Id been workin with the wild ones for over 6 years… I can even see the individual personalities on the ones that run by yer cams… love the footage- keep it comin! ❤

[@mr.eldritch1589]

Odd how hogzilla never showed up during the day or with the other wild pigs

[@Michael.Outside]

Big old males are usually pretty cautious and solitary.

[@mr.eldritch1589]

@@Michael.Outside Makes sense, it would explain the bigger size. But I also prefer my headcanon that it’s some sort of werepig that became bigger under the full moon…

[@carolr4871]

I was surprised to see how much the hogs wag their tails. When dogs do that, they're happy and/or excited. Are the hogs just happy to be alive, or is it something more mundane like shooing flies away?

[@Michael.Outside]

I’m guessing flies

[@alwaysuseless]

Their tails are like windshield wipers for the anus. They don't touch the anus, but they keep the insects away.@@Michael.Outside

[@patriciamuskevitsch8359]

Beautiful video. Looks like someone needs to trap that sounder.

[@sb-bg7vc]

In your opening with the cat, can anyone tell what is in the background with the glowing eyes😮

[@obecerra123]

Reflection of the same cat

[@Jacktheballplayer]

Let’s go

Hey, Michael How many years, now, have feral pigs been a part of that ecosystem?? I ask because in my part of central Oklahoma, the pigs haven't shown up, yet. But they are just a few miles away, probably around 6 to 10 miles. A few years back a bowhunting acquaintance of mine purchased an acreage adjacent to the local game mgmt area and at that time, 8 years ago, he had no pigs on his new property. Since 4 years ago he can't get rid of them. He had a few years of good hunting (deer), but now he wishes he' d never bought the place

[@Michael.Outside]

I’m not sure here. I’m guessing several decades. In Florida they’ve been there hundreds of years.

[@Michael.Outside]

While pigs do damage a lot of the native ecosystem, I’d imagine the deer and pigs can coexist. The snakes and ground nesting birds may not fare as well.

[@Michael.Outside]

He will have to heavily trap them to get rid of them. But if they’re established locally new ones will probably move in.
