I think it's the toughest hunt on the planet
I lived in northern California for 26 years and hunted there the same.... The summer heat is the rough part. You need to scout an area and know what the deer are doing. I glass and watch to see where they bed, then try to get above them and pull off a sneak. Sometimes late morning to early afternoon the deer will move to a different bedding place as the sun exposes the one they are in. If you can pattern that move you can set up an abush.
July is a rough month to hunt but we get two tags and a very long season so I think it's great!!!
Our archery season defines the term HOT!!!!! Hunt…
Just remember your odorless sun screen
