The hunting hours are few and warm in this Texas drought. With excessive temperatures topping triple digits and lack of rain, hogs are concentrated around the few water holdings available. The grass is parched and is beyond yellow to brown. The movement of large game is limited to the early hours in the morning - 9 am begins the intense heat-up and the day grows increasingly hostile until sunset. The ground begins to radiate heat upwards before noon. Rattle snakes are more active after dark and are moving excessively trying to find water.
There is very little opportunity now to enjoy the outdoors - time is much more productive in preparing for the coming fall season and anticipating the loosening of the sun's grip.
