heres the way i look at it..yea it may be hot..throw on some leafy wear and wear shorts and a t shirt underneath. You cant kill that trophy buck sittin in the a/c. I'll take the heat of the south any day over wearin 50 plus pounds of gear in the 130 degree plus desert. Take water, stay hydrated..water helps cool the body..everyone knows this. Dont forget to tell someone where you will be huntin and around what time you should return. Good luck to all back homein the south. Im stationed in california and it sucks as far as huntin goes.
