I know what you mean. I've been out a few times. Way too hot but still enjoyable once you get settled in. I saw a bobcat on Tues. morning. He came within 15 yards of my stand. First one I've seen in a long time. Then Wed. morning I had a doe an 2 yearlings come by. I could have shot her a half dozen times but let her pass. There are 7 legal buck near my stand somewhere. I had them on trail cam all summer.
