diminishes? bahh...some of yall get too caught up in the scent stuff. Hunting in the heat is a pain tho. Been in the 80' s here this week. But im hoping it will work out and the temp drop will be within a week or so and the rut is gonna come on well.

Yesterday my bud shot a 4 pointer as far away from the truck as possible. We dont have a 4 wheeler or game cart to help so we have to drag the game. He shot it probly a little over 1/2 a mile from the truck and at least 1/4 mile is up hill. Took 2 of us 1.5 hrs to drag this guy out of the woods. Thank goodness the moon was bright (even though not a full moon) sense our flashlights where dim. Last i had seen when we drove by the bank it as 81 out. Oh the fields we drug the deer through where so growed up the hay was slapping us in the face.

Been hunting in central Texas and the temps have been from 65-90 during the day. I have some Scentlok Savana coveralls that I wear with just some light shorts and a tank-top underneath. I look pretty funny when I stop in town before the morning hunt (wearing short, tank-top and my long socks for my boots), but when my buddy is sweating his a$$ off, I am pretty cool. Supposed to be a low of 47 and high of 62 or so this weekend. Can' t wait.

Here in the San Antonio area we have been getting some cool mornings lately. I took my best deer on Nov. 18 this year and it was 72 degrees an hour after the shot. Check out the duds http://www.bowsite.com/bstrophy/deta...?trophyid=4860 We wish for cold weather every day, but when it gets here everyone grips about the cold! It hasn' t snowed properly here in 16+ years!

Oh, you whiney @ss whippersnappers! On opening day of archery it was 90 something in the swamp! More skeeters than Carter has pills, and the yeller flies were havin' a blast! To heck with facing the right way, Ya gotsta get in the shade....

Try it in Florida sometime! It is so hot it puts ya to sleep, and ya wakes up half hour later groggy as ya know what. Drink some water and stay for a few more hours.

Seriously, in the stand before the sun rises, and have at least a quart of water and snacks, go to the truck around 9:30 and eat a sandwich, drink some Coca~cola and back in the stand till noon. Then back to the truck for a sandwich and Coke...again... then back the stand with a quart of water. 2 hours later do it again.
We just don' t go but 200 yards at the most from the truck, cause its that thick. You are lucky to see more than 20 yards when you' re in the stand.
