In 15yrs of bowhunting, I've only killed 2-3 deer when temps are above 80 or so... They simply rarely move when it's that hot. The only real chance you have is a steaming feed tree. Like persimmons, isolated oak trees, etc.

In North Mississippi rain has been slim to none thisyear so i have set up stands and watched what few watering holes that are left, and i have seen plenty of deer coming to them and its been in the mid 90's. All i can say is after this saturday gets here, i dont care how hot it is, im gonna be in the woods!!

I have the good fortune to work right across the street from a pretty sizeable state park. It has been a state park for around 50 years. In that time it has been ilegal to hunt it as well. So there is generation upon generation of unpressured deer. I haven't quite got them patterned (to when and why the move) but I see them all the time, even in 95+ degree weather. I'm pumped about opening day here (in the mid 80's with 95% humidity). I'll sit out nearly all day, regardless of the weather. I just can't help it!! 
Just remember to drink lots of water and to take a portable pee bag
