Too hot to hunt this evening? UPDATE

So, here I sit. Do I drive and hike into an area Dirty24d sent me to. A nice looking logging area. Had some real bear likely looking spots and would like to walk a bit further. Yep, its hot. I'm hot inside, hot outside. Also, if I get something will I dehydrate and die before getting it back to the truck. Is anyone going out this evening? I'm torn....

Heck, I am not even sure I want to go fishing this evening. Hunting in this heat, would be a real ummm well, you know.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Why not go out anyway. Check out the area. fined good spots to sit and watch. Just because you see a Bear doesn't mean you have to shoot it. If you see one he may stay there for a little while if there is food there for him. Never know if you don't get out.

It's too hot. If I go out it will be in my truck with the A/C on as cold as it will go. I will not be hiking anywhere. We did go out this morning and pick up our three trail cameras we had out for 3 weeks. But I left the house at 5:45 this morning. If you want to hunt when the weather's hot like this, I think it would be best to get out in the woods by 5:30 a.m. and head home by about 8:30 a.m. Just my

I went out today from 1100 am till bout 3pm just for the funk of it. Saw a cow elk, but no bears. Black berries are just getting ripe where I was.
I was glad I went out. I hit the woods and stayed in the shade. It wasnt too bad.
