On snare-sweep patrols, the Phalaborwa Natural Heritage Foundation team sometimes comes across poachers' camps. Eugene Troskie has found many of these camps over the years. A collared female hyaena was hanging around in a certain area for an inordinate length of time, which generally indicates an animal killed in a snare. Eugene and his team picked this up on their tracking devices and decided to go in and see what the situation was. They found a huge poachers' camp that had been in operation for a long time. The evidence of the poachers' work was strewn across the surrounding bush.
