It is for me. It was mid 70's here on Monday evening and I skipped it. Of course, knowing that an immediatebutchering job would be in order if I scored also was a factor since I had to work.

That is pretty warm. IMO the deer will move well in the morning and then again late evening. I am facing the same kind of temps for this weekend and I will be out there, bug suit and all. I will be coming in earlier in the morning and going out a bit later in the evening with temps that high.

The only activity I saw last night were 2 doe's(Ithink they were)at 7:00 and it was a little too dark to shoot. It was 67 degrees.I couldn't make out thier heads at 30 yards. So I wouldn't shoot a spike or little buck I passed.
I'd opt for a morning hunt if given the choice.

RE: is to hot to hunt
I'm hoping for temps in the 80s this evening. Its been 90s everyday for a while now. Its raining now and if the cloud cover keeps the temps in the 80s I'll hunt this evening.
