[QUOTE="r00s7a, post: 1443097, member: 9675"] Pig sign is not hard to distinguish from anything else, they can really do some damage in soft ground, and not so soft for that matter. Signs of rooting will be the most obvious thing to look for. If you have moist areas on the property, look for signs of wallows. It will generally be about the size of the pigs body or larger. If it is fresh, you can actually see the marks of the course hair in the mud. Also, look for signs on trees. Pigs love to rub up against stuff, so you'll see trees that are knee high in mud. Look at any power lines you have in the area and check out the posts. Creosote keeps bugs off pigs, so they will rub on corner posts or utility poles that are coated with them. And of course, tracks. They can look very similar to deer, except more rounded on the front. Google images of pig tracks and deer tracks and you can see the difference. If you don't know whether or not you have pigs in the area... you probably don't! Their signs are obvious. Even if you do find sign, pigs can be there one day and gone the next. They don't seem to follow the same routines and patterns of deer. [/QUOTE]
