With summer coming I was just wondering how you guys hunt or if you hunt in the summer? Last couple summers my hog doggin has become pretty scarce to not at all but with a new job coming and working for a guy who has taught me alot about hog hunting i think thats about to change.

I hunt all year, i just slow up some in the summer. Night time or ealry morning only and i hunt places that have mostly oaks on them, not allot of under brush. East Texas is hard in the summer with the under brush we have. Not worth a dogs life.
Only if i had a Riddick Dog! lol

Hunt at night or a few hours before daybreak. If your dogs are conditioned and acclamated to the weather they should be fine in the heat, but there is always a chance of them having a heat stroke.

What he said... that underbrush can sure keep the heat in on a dog... I think lack of wind is the killer when it's hot |

Depends on where you are. Down here it gets hot. It also depends on the dogs. You also have to worry about gators down here. I hunt at night and Amy sign of gators I don't hunt there for a while.

Just make sure you keep water there and give it to them between runs or switch out your dogs while they cool off.
