Title: heat has changed my plans.....
Post by: kalamasasquatch on September 03, 2011, 11:58:04 PM: Has anyone else changed their plans due to the heat? I am too worried about the 12-14 hours it takes to get an animal out of my usual area to risk it in this heat. I will be hunting close to home in areas i can get my quad to for now. What about you?.........
