Default RE: hunting in the heat

Well I usually pack all my goods in the walk in freezer. I soak my bug suit in water and freeze that too. Next I put 2 pounds of dry ice in my pack and wear it at all times. After about4 minutes in the texas/oklahoma heat,everything melts (dry ice evaporates) and I begin to sweat. Since sweating is pretty much inevitable, I don't feel that the amount of sweat really matters. Therefore I pull a huge cooler on wheels stocked with colddrinks and bags of ice. If I can't find a skunk to get sprayed by on the way to the stand I will roll in the closest cowpie for my cover scent. Then I setup the ground blind (over the top of the cooler since it won't fit through the door. From there, I take a breath and stick my head in the cooler and come up periodically for air and to see if there are any deer. At the end of the evening (or morning) I will dump the remaining contents of the cooler on my head and make the trek back to camp. It hasn't really worked yet, but I think this may be the year.
