I live in OK where it also get's really hot in the summer as well. My hunting buddy and I have two areas where we hunt (free "leases") here in OK where we hunt deer, turkey, and hogs. When we get tired of the heat (we've actually hunted deer with a depredation tag in late June when temps were well over 100 degrees) we make our annual trip to CO for elk or SD for some incredibly big bucks. These hunts can be surprisingly inexpensive and traveling makes every year is a new adventure. My hunting buddy and I are both over 65 years old and our fall hunting schedule provides all the excitement we can handle. That said, if I were younger, Alaska would be the place I'd live.


Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.
