The hogs this time of year will be an almost dark hunting proposition hokie.
They overheat quickly and will not move during the day unless absolutely necessary.
A source of water such as a creek bottom or a brushed up stock tank will be areas to hunt near. They will avoid open fields and feeders if possible until after dark.
For the past week a boar in the 150 to 200 lb. range has been coming up from the creek to hit the corn feeder and at first he was showing up around 1a.m. now he has gotten more comfortable and is showing up at around 10p.m.
Still at least an hour after dark.
A good set of binos will be a big help as will a good light gathering scope for those late shots.
Squirrels will be around feeders too and are a blast to shoot so if you feel inclined to splurge for the out of state liscense bringing your .22 rifle may make the hot daytime hunting more fun.
