Default Shooting.. and it's hot

Dang it's hot out. We're suppose to get to 99 or 100 again today. I just had to shoot. I didn't notice the temp when I started. I go out and shoot 16 or 20 arrows and take a break. Right now it's 96 at 4 PM in the shade atwhere my thermometer has been all day. Don't know what it peaked at, but it's hot. I've been out 3 times in the past couple hours. Hotter than all blazes. I sure am glad we're not hunting on crop damage permits this year. This would be about the time we'd start getting serious about it. I have walked to the stand at 7:00PM when it was still 94 and shot a deer. I tell you it's no fun, especially dragging a deer 300 yards uphill through a standing summer time corn field. Will it ever end?[:@]

You'll get no sympathy from me! LOL This is a fluke summer for you guys up there!

Its like that here in Houston EVERY YEAR.... LOL.... man I miss Colorado. It was hot but like 10% humidity, so the sweat evaporated as quick as it appeared, man it was great! It's the one thing I dislike about Texas, so I feel ya.

You can have those Tick Infested Varmits. I would never, ever think about shooting and recovering a deer during this time of the year.[:'(]

Ditto......If it weren't for the news I couldn't tell if it were any different
of a summer.

We shot a range yesterday and it was sick hot. I certainly hope it passes by soon....work has been miserable with the temps in the upper 90's all week.
