Pig hunting and trading

We have been having trouble with wild boars coming under the fences and over the walls from neighboring forests. They dig up the lawns and gardens and are very destructive. They reproduce at prodigious rates. They come in in the early dark hours of the morning under cover of darkness. They are smart. They are black, and travel in absolute darkness. Their main weakness is that they are creatures of habit and travel the same paths at similar times. They have poor vision but good hearing and smell. It takes modern technology and other primitive strategies to get them. I place traps in the paths they like to take. I have infrared motion sensors and night vision cams. Still, it took a couple days of all-nighters to get a persistent one. If startled, they bolt in a panic.

It is similar to trading. The spus tend to move late in the dark of night especially in my time zone. They tend to travel the same paths as they have previously. It takes persistence, late nights, and high modern technology to anticipate their moves and have orders in place to capture them along paths they have traveled before. It seems the spus like to return to places they have previously visited several times. Recently, the spus have been jumpy and panicky and tend to bolt, then return once their panic passes. The spus are smart, but have weaknesses. Stupid news stories spooks them.
