hunting in the drought

For me and my hunting buddies, the hunt for the right spot has been harder than the hunt for the hogs. Been a pretty good summer, hunted a little more than last summer and hunted the right spots. Its alot harder on the dogs this summer I have noticed. With no moisture in the air or on the ground I feel like the dogs are right on top of the hogs before they get hot on the trail. Found myself watching the garmin more cuz the dogs seem to hunt different than normal. For example, I have seen my lacy dog put her nose to the ground alot more than in winter and she hunts alot slower and more meticulously. Not making big fast loops like in the winter.
