Thumbs down How active are hogs in hot weather?

My limited experience (this is my second year to hunt feral hogs) seems to indicate that the hunting will slow down from about now until well into fall. I'm in central Texas, where it is hot and dry now.
And when I say hot and dry, I mean it!
As watering holes dry up the hogs seem to move to places I can't find. Probably they've gone off to someone else's property, but it may just be that they're feeding late at night - I don't really know.

I don't know that there are all that many hogs in the area. About two years ago I saw a pack of about two dozen, but since then I have rarely seen more than five or six a time unless it was a single sow with a litter of eight or so.

I'm just wondering what other folks are seeing or have seen at this time of year in similar climates. To me it seems like I might as well stay home until November unless there are some good ideas for finding and luring hogs out of their hiding places.
