Default warm weather...

sept 15th starts an early archery doe season. i got one spot im willing to blow for a doe hunt...and its got alot of deer. its a small apple orchard that has houses etc all around it and a large piece of woods feed it. the woods are super heavily hunted. im the only one that hunts the orchard...but still doubt i will see a legal shooter buck in there in daylight. heck...i hunted it a few different times last year and only seen 2 deer. both 1.5yo bucks...same day, same time lol. never seen a doe or anything else.

this doe season is earlier than the normal season...so i will be hunting it 3-4 weeks earlier than last year...prime apple time. should be good.

my question is...how do you bowhunt in the heat. say the highs are still 70-80...should i even bother hunting?? nights get cold...50s, but that day time temp is what worries me. mornings seem to be best in there for some reason. but will hunt there mornings and evenings just to see what comes out. i just dont know if i wanna shoot one knowing in a couple hours it will be 70+ degrees. how long do i got to find it before it goes bad? how do you guys down south deal with the heat in terms of recovering deer?? i never really had to worry...normally day temps dont break 60s..nights are 30-40s...i can leave them overnight and not worry most of the time..
