You haven't been out yet? Ouch. I know the heat does suck. I also know what you mean about the rifle hunting. I still go opening weekend with my Dad because that is the only time he hunts. He bought me a new rifle when we got the land back in '01 so I still take that out. Where I am at we have a 4 day gun hunt coming up the 18th - 21st this month. I have to wear orange to bow hunt then. It really does put the deer on alert but I hope they will forget all that when the rut starts.

Good luck team.
