Daggone it's hot!!!

[Burnsie]

Same thing here, just can't get myself to go out when it's this hot. (94 and humid today) I'm sure all the boys from GA, AL, TX, LA...etc and the guys that go to Texas Sweat all think we're sissies, but bowhunting to me always means nice cool fall days, fall colors...etc, I was born and raised in northern Wisc. This July/August weather just doesn't get it.

My son took a deer last saturday and it was a race to get it field dressed and iced down.   We too in IN are required to check in the deer whole.    We did not make it to a check station Sat. night and had to ice it down and check it in sunday morning.     All went well and the deer meat was fine.  
   Come on cooler weather!!!!!!

"It's not so much the heat as the goosh durn humidity. Ya know, when you sit there in the bed and you're all sweaty ya know and you reach for the da water on the nightstand, ya know, and you just slide right outa the bed and da wife says, stop making so much noise you're waking me up. "

This is the first weekend I haven't went. Got up at 4:30 to 68 degrees and said, "I'm going back to bed." Weather is changing though and for the better.

In almost thirty years of bowhunting in my area, I have NEVER seen a mosquito while bowhunting, until this year. It was 63 degrees at daylight this morning, two degrees warmer than our normal
daytime high. It reached a daytime high of 88.

Scary.

Getting warm during the day is normal, but by now
there should be frost almost every morning.

Supposed ta be huntin' weather starting this week fellas! I just got back from TX. Let me tell ya about hot!

[hickry]

heat, or no heat, i'm going.  i would hate to lose a deer to spoilage but, in this part of the country, you'd miss the majority of bowseason waiting on cool weather.  we've had Christmas breaks for a full week w/ weather in the mid 80's.  as far as the deer movement, we've been seeing them all day here (actually 2 hours south of here).  it seems to me that heat doesn't really affect the deer movement until we get a cool snap.  after that... you may as well squirrel hunt on a hot day...

Yesterday morning I saw something I have never before seen while deer hunting; fireflies.

The weather station is calling for patchy frost this weekend for central indiana.   Thats deer hunting weather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They say that relief is on the way. In my neck of Ohio they are calling for Upper 50's lower 60's from wednesday on. I hope they are right. I sat the other night with my rubber boots on to help with scent control and I could smell the rubber getting hotter as the sun was hitting them.

I also need a bunch of rain my well is very slow right now.

It's been in or about the 90s here as well.  Haven't seen any deer yet (some sign but you don't want to eat that) but bunches of squirrels etc.  My son and I had a squirrel fall out of a tree right in front of us Saturday (I think it was sweating so hard that it just lost its grip - hehe).  The boy had a shot at it and missed - I didn't even have an arrow on the string.  :-p

Saw an SUV with an iced down deer on it yesterday.Bags of ice all over it and probably in it too. Low 80's.

[Burnsie]

Now that's more like it - High of about 56 the past couple days!!  Low 40s high 30s at night!
