Kill the daughter while the mother escapes.

Last week I caught a mother and a daughter on my game camera.  Today I can write that problem is no more.

I took some footage of a mother and daughter walking in and out of my pig trap without any issues or concern about the trap...  When ever I see this it is time to arm the trap, and arm the trap I did.

The first night I loaded it up with crushed corn and on my arrival the next morning I found the daughter in the trap with no indication as to if or where the mother was location, and if she had been around to get in the trap.

On closer inspection of the game came footage I found that while both had been been in the trap it was by accident that they tripped the trigger and close the door with both of them fully enclosed within the trap.  So how did the mother escape??????  Well only the game camera could tell us this...  On closer inspection of the photos that were taken at the time the trigger was fired, both pigs were in the trap however the mother was closest to the door, and when the noise of the steel bucket fell she bolted out of the trap before the door could close, but the daughter remainded...  mighty unlucky for the daughter I must say.

I dispatched the daughter and reset the trap hoping to catch the mother......  The story continues and I have an update in my next blog so come back for an update.
