You will need non-resident special hunting license. Five days for $48 or season for $132.

Exceptions: a hunting license is not required to hunt the following:

Depredating feral hogs, if a landowner (resident or non-resident) or landowner's agent or lessee is taking feral hogs causing depredation on the landowner's land.

I hope you are planning on waiting until it cools down some?

If not the night hunting is the way to go since it is only 90*F + at night.

90 degrees at 3:00am... Its still 100 when the sun goes down around here.

The only time to hunt them now is at night in a spot that still has water. That makes it twice as hard since the whole state has dried up.

I got one a couple of weeks ago with a bow.

Started about 4am and red-lighted the water tanks. Found a group about 6a.m. feeding away from the tanks and stalked one.
