Hi DwarfHog
It is a little bit early yet for hogs to be coming out of hibernation, although some of the males do return in March, so it isn’t so long and the weather has been a bit all over the place.
Other possible alternatives are that hogs sometimes wake up during hibernation and even move nests before continuing their hibernation. Or you could have had a visit from one of the hogs who has decided not to hibernate at all this year.
I have kept my cameras out all winter and so far only have the one who isn’t hibernating visiting. The cameras aren’t quite so good in the winter, because they sometime mist up, but usually good enough to see a hog is there.
