Hunting in this heat

Great, just great. I was thinking about trying to get some sleep until I read these posts and am now afraid of the nightmares I will have.

lmao

Had an absolute stud cross the road on me at 730 this morning.

Dad works nights, and he said he's been seeing a lot of studs on 33 at around 7 am. Come on Saturday!

I try to avoid the heat if I can, but I will hunt in it if I have to. Come next week any chance I can get away I will be in a tree.

I hunted yesterday afternoon till 7 PM and got skunked. The moon was straight overhead when I descended from my stand last night. I didn't anticipate seeing much with the temp at 79 degrees when I was climbing up into my stand but just wanted to get out. I prolly won't hunt again till this weekend. Like Carpn said, no sense in taking risks,spreading scent and jumping deer and alerting the deer of my presence when the best hunting is just around the corner.

I will avoid it personally. IM looking for quality time in the stand. I would rather save the stands for days that is better for deer movement and keep pressure and needless scent to a minimum.

My Dad has been out all week. So far in 4 days he's seen a doe and an 8 point. The deer are moving after dark.
The best bet is the last 15 minutes of daylight. Warm weather snuffs out hunting activity.

If you can, get in the deep woods near a pond. That is my plan this evening. I'm going to a spot I haven't hunted yet this year near water. If I go...

I saw on FB this morning that Dave Lusk said it shut things down at Southern Ohio Outfitters. They have been having a great couple weeks and then it flat stopped...

Fugg it... I punted.
Came home, cut grass, now I'm sipping beer on the front porch.
Starting Saturday it's 3 weeks of madnessssssssss!!!!!

Best plan you could conjure, Cotty! I'm not going to waste my time until it cools off. There was some talk of the October Lull earlier, this heat is what causes it imo. They will bust loose this weekend with the cooler temps coming. I will be there Sunday morning waiting to see 'em., and Monday, and Tuesday.... etc.

76 degrees at 6. While I sit in a stand. Like an idiot....but I love it deer or no deer

Couldn't hunt, but if I could, wouldn't have.

Probably hunt Saturday night and Sunday looks beautiful
