I hear what you're saying about the heat.....And here in the great state of MO the heat is only part of it.....The humidity will all but KILL your butt....I set my camera out the other day as well.....So much for scent control.....I was soaking wet, and didn't smell very pretty either.....That's one reason I don't like messing w/ cameras this time of year......No way to keep it low impact......But I do love those pictures!
