Well, I’ve been preparing for such mysterious, hermit-like sows for a long time now. For a chance encounter like this, I’m willing to spend the night out from 4 in the afternoon until 7-8 in the morning, 8 meters up, on a Summit Viper PRO SD stand barely larger than half a square meter, fixed…
Wildlife feeders as micro-ecosystems: ecological effects and species community dynamics Introduction Wildlife management facilities, particularly feeding stations and feeders, are indispensable elements of modern game management. Although these facilities are primarily designed to keep economically valuable big game (Cervus elaphus – red deer, Capreolus capreolus – roe deer, Sus scrofa – wild boar) within a…
I finally got "on camera" that boar I once, on a summer night, in the early morning hours, had already drawn my bow on. I didn’t take the shot, because it had already started heading back toward the forest from the wallow, and the aiming point wasn’t entirely clear in the barely-breaking light.
Behavioral Adaptation and Feeding Ecology of a Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) Population Under Anthropogenic Influence, Through the Example of a Site-Specific Feeding Location Introduction The wild boar (Sus scrofa) is one of Europe’s most adaptable big game species, possessing an outstanding capacity to adjust to anthropogenic (human-modified) environments. The purpose of this study is to…
Morphological and Ethological Characteristics of Old Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) Stags, and Their Significance in Sustainable Wildlife Management Abstract This paper examines the complex characteristics of old red deer stags, linking morphology, ethology, and wildlife management practice. We support a case study developed from a specific observation near the Nagy-Zöld wallow with generalizable scientific findings….
On September 16, 2025, at 11:47 am, a red deer arriving at the Great Green Wallow was captured by both cameras. The NDZ18 BigGreenScum01 camera caught a stag actually about 35m away, while the NDZ18 BigGreenScum02 camera, positioned at 0m, captured a truly special close-up shot of the very same stag.
09.12.2025 At night, shortly before midnight, I managed to make a shot on a piglet standing about 24 meters away, and the sounder of 11 piglets — no sow among them — barely flinched at the dull sound of the bow shot. As it turned out later, the sight was set to 22.5 meters, not…
"Our hardworking people will prevail." Today’s program: IcuServer solar power supply to maximize the runtime of the Zeiss Secacam 7 camera. Tank refill, terrain tidying, corn concealment, sugar-beet and alfalfa pellet trial run. I’m very curious which bio-feed the forest game will like best. The winching finally goes routinely. I’ve found the pulley that works…
Yesterday, Saturday, already at dawn, at 5 a.m., I was out at my feeder. The day had two main objectives: 1. Increasing the capacity of the corn feeder tank Based on my past experience (reckoning with a daily dispensing rate of 5-6 kg), I decided to enlarge the tank size. The new size needs to…
