I've changed my strategy alright, I've elected not to waste my time bowhunting when it's this hot out. Instead of hunting today, I just did some target shooting with a few handguns. I've been out 3 times since the season started and they were morning hunts because that's the coolest part of the day. I saw 2 does on the first outing, none on the 2nd, and I had a deer snorting at me on the 3rd as I was rigging my stand in the darkness.

This is my 2nd year bowhunting and according to my records it was nearly this hot last year. If it doesn't cool off I'll just wait for muzzleloader and rifle seasons to fill the freezer.

A good strategy would be to hunt early and to hunt over a water source when it's hot out.
