Who is a hot weather hunter (summer)
 
I always put up the bow, other than practice, during the summer. I know some who hunt hogs year around. When it gets hot, I just give up on the porkers and go fishing. For those of you who hunt in the summer, what are some of your tactics.

We hunt them at night. They seem to come out around midnight to 3 in the morning.

I had a lot of luck last summer hunting them in the mornings moving to and from water holes. I went out every weekend in June and July, and I didn't make a day either month that I didn't kill a hog. The hunting was very, very good. Also shot some when I was out after coyotes. I hunted them from 11am -2 pm, when it was hot enough the skeeters weren't very active.

We hunt them at night in the summer with dogs. Too hot for the dogs in the daytime. We usually have the best luck starting about 3 am and hunting until the sun comes up.

I agree, the hotter the better, they got to have water. (sound like a song) :D:D..

I hunt year round. I'll sit at a feeder anytime of year although sitting a trail leading to water is something I will do as well.

i hunt hogs year around and prefer to hunt in the summer. Just watch the water holes. A good salt lick close to a water holeworksespecially wellin an area where there is little domestic livestock (and no salt).

Me, I HAVE to hunt hogs in summer.

I teach school for a living and my school teaching buddy and I have been going to Florida in July because that is our only choice.

We have done well in the pan-handle of Florida sitting in Treestands, mornings and evenings overlooking feeders.

This August, we will be in south-west Texas hunting rams and hogs.
