Its hot
 

Its going to get up in the high 80s this week any suggestions like only hunt in the moring or is ok to get to my stand later than normal in the afternoon or keep my normal routine and sweat it out? Never hunted this early not real sure what to do.

I'm facing the same problem! Its supposed to be in the 80's this week, I hate hunting when its hot![:@]

Personally, I've decided to call it quits till this heat breaks. I shot one last year when it was this hot, and I'll tell ya.....that's just too darn much like work! Phooey on that this year.....

Dress as light as you can, take your time walking, and bring a bottle of scent eliminating spray w/ you.

I know the die hard crowd will disagree but when it is over 80, I dont hunt. I hate hunting & sweating, very little game movement, and should I take something it is very difficult to proccess the meat fast enough.

Your right, im going to completely disagree on that one. This is the time when the deer are the most predictible. Yes its hot, but like MOBOW said, take your time, bring some scent spray, and even maybe freeze a couple wash cloths to put on your neck. Once you get settled in you will cool down and everything will be alright...

Durring this hot hot heat i wouldnt mess with shooting a doe though...like others have said its a real hassle to deal with everything so if your going to do it i would make it worth it! Just my opinion...

On opening day here in NC it was over 95 degrees in the afternoon. I saw 7 deer in the afternoon and only 1 in the morning!! Take your time, walk slow, and keep scent spray with you. Of course a water bottle always helps too!!
