Injured Razorback Matriarch Brings Her Boar Family to Upper Scratchpost

The family of razorback wild boars (Sus scrofa) lead by an injured matriarch recently showed up at the lower scratchpost and used it to ease the itch on their furs. This time around, the same family turned up at the upper scratchpost and did the tree as hard as they’re notorious to. The video is … Continue reading “Injured Razorback Matriarch Brings Her Boar Family to Upper Scratchpost”

Trail Camera at Lower Scratchpost Films Wild Boars, Red Fox and Roe Deer

The lower scratchpost is only about 500 meters from the location of the injured badger’s hole. When I visit one, I usually visit the other one as well. The trail camera I have at the lower scratchpost is the best one I have, in terms of image quality and reliability. It does have a downside … Continue reading “Trail Camera at Lower Scratchpost Films Wild Boars, Red Fox and Roe Deer”

Wild Boars, Foxes and Deer Captured on Trail Cam at Upper Scratchpost

That the trail camera I have set up at the upper scratchpost has been a disappointment is something I have already talked about. As of my latest visit to the upper scratchpost, a new disappointment is added to the growing list – the cam drains batteries like mad. Too Many Issues Among the biggest problems … Continue reading “Wild Boars, Foxes and Deer Captured on Trail Cam at Upper Scratchpost”

Lower Scratchpost Trail Camera Moved to Even Further Tree for Better Videos

The lower scratchpost has been a hit and miss. I started monitoring it with a trail camera set up on a nearby tree. I got good footage from there, but because the trail cam has a very narrow field of view, it only captured parts of the animals in its original location. Having only parts … Continue reading “Lower Scratchpost Trail Camera Moved to Even Further Tree for Better Videos”

Broken Trail Camera Fixed and Reinstalled at Lower Scratchpost

It was a big disappointment when one of the better trail cameras I bought died after two weeks of use. Luckily, I was able to fix the camera and reinstalled it back at the scratchpost where it had been, but as a result, I don’t know what was happening at the scratchpost during the time … Continue reading “Broken Trail Camera Fixed and Reinstalled at Lower Scratchpost”

New Trail Cam Set Up at New Scratchpost – Trail Cam Fails, Scratchpost Delivers

I have already introduced one animal scratchpost. The one featured in today’s video is a different one. It’s within the same forest, but in a whole different location. It’s actually the first scratchpost I found, but the second to have installed a trail camera at. It was quite clear right from the start that this … Continue reading “New Trail Cam Set Up at New Scratchpost – Trail Cam Fails, Scratchpost Delivers”

My Trail Cam at Animal Scratchpost Is Dead After Capturing Wild Boars

I own five trail cameras. Four have semi permanent locations, one I use as a floating camera which I install where I feel it’s needed the most. Sometimes it’s as a second camera at a location with another cam, other times in new interesting places I come across which suggest there could be animal activity … Continue reading “My Trail Cam at Animal Scratchpost Is Dead After Capturing Wild Boars”

Wildlife Scratchpost Trail Camera Moved Because It Has Narrow FOV

The trail camera I have at the wildlife scratchpost introduced in this video has the best image quality of all the trail cams I own, but unfortunately also the narrowest field of view (FOV) of them all. I originally placed the camera on a nearby tree, which is where I would normally leave my cameras … Continue reading “Wildlife Scratchpost Trail Camera Moved Because It Has Narrow FOV”

Animal Scratchpost – Tree Used by Wildlife to Scratch Itchy Furs

In the woods where I live, I have several locations used by the animals where they aggregate in order to scratch their itchy furs. They tend to use coniferous trees for that purpose, quite expectedly because unlike most deciduous trees, the conifers have rough barks. I call the trees the wildlife rub themselves against “scratchposts“. … Continue reading “Animal Scratchpost – Tree Used by Wildlife to Scratch Itchy Furs”

My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 03

Having seen that the injured badger did not come out of the burrow the first night I left the food for him there, I returned to his sett (the actual name for the network of tunnels dug by badgers to live in) with more food. Because I live a simple life in the woods, I … Continue reading “My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 03”
