Default RE: Hot weather huntin (north texas)

On my ranch in N.E. Texas the hogs are going to the waterholes Mostly at night. They are still coming out into the fields early in the morning and late in the evening. My wife and I drove around on our camo golf cart yesterday evening about 8'oclock and saw 4 different groups of hogs rootin around in the open fields. We have a creek on our place about a mile and a half long, and about 75 yards wide. It is covered with Cedar trees and brush piles. During the middle of the day the hogs stay in this creek in the shade and buried up in the brush piles. We have been sucessful during the day doing spot and stalk hunts. The hogs will hold tight letting you get close enough to shoot with a bow. Sometimes you will step right on them before they bust out of the brushpiles. That can cause your heart to beat a little faster. I vote for hunting early and late, and setting in the shade and drinking lemonade during the middle of the day.
