April won't be as hot, but......biting insects are often at their worst here in April and May. April and May are some of our wetter months (coincidentally, also peak tornado season). And with the rain comes the mosquitos, ticks, fire ants, and chiggers. Snakes are also usually pretty active (problematic for me because I hunt at night).

February would be my pick. The wheat is in and up, and since the native plants are mostly dormant, the hogs and other wildlife will be utilizing it. Deer season will have been over for a while, so things will not be as nocturnal. Cold weather also helps push them out foraging a little earlier.
