Here in Texas, its getting to the time of year that you will only see them at night.

Kinda depends on the time of year. During hot months, they will only move during the early morning or after dark to water, and feed late at night, about 4:00am. During the cooler months, they will move during the day, but still like to move just before dark and just before first light.

Watch the water holes in the summer time. Quite often individual hogs, usually boars, will come out for a drink before sunset. If the water hole is adjacent to a thicket; the entire family may sneak out for a sip or wallow in the afternoon of a hot day.

The above experience comesfrom hunting hogs on 13,500 acres of very lightly huntedgovernment property. Your mileage may vary.

Set up a game camera or two if possible and pattern hogs where you want to hunt. Late afternoon and early evening are often the most productive tiomes of day. What we see out here, is that the biggest boars will usually start to move in the last 15-20 mins before sunset. There are exceptions, but most often late afternoon & early evening is when the actions starts.

I recently watched an older video of hog hunting in hilly open country of CA (Kingville, Coalinga?). Many of the hogs were out in the open, in afternoon light. Maybeit's the terrain orlocal food source.

It's the small ones who usually show up first. If you see a boar walk into an area or down a trail like nobody's business...he ain't the "Boss Hog"...unless there's a sow in heat...then other priorities are on the hogs' minds.
