1 week until the opener here in North FL in the WMA I hunt. Forecast calls for a high of 91, low of 71...just feels funny for someone who has lived in PA or AK for most of their time. Thermacell is loaded and planning short sits.
Any other folks getting out in the southern states?

Just cause it opens next week doesn't mean you have to start hunting
Season opens Oct 1st here and I won't start hitting things hard til latter half of the month

We can hunt in September during "early Bow" season, but are required to take a Doe first. Sitting in a treestand when it's near 90 and humid, with mosquitoes buzzing around, isn't my idea of fun. I'll wait until the regular season at the beginning of October.

Our season opens today. Too hot . .to many skeeters. If I go it it will be squirrel hunting so I can stay moving. I plan on hunting the cold feont in a few days.

Missouri opens today (9-15) and it is 88*. I'll keep fishing until it cools down.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Archery season for the specific WMA I hunt ends Oct 14, dont think it wil be much cooler then 😀 Some parts of the state open in July so hunters can hunt the rut in those specific areas. http://myfwc.com/media/4233506/dbcstatewide.jpgIf you want a doe for the freezer in FL, you have to sweat it out in archery. The MZ and Rifle seasons that open later are antlered only.

Archery season ends this weekend here and it's still HOT. Going out for the last four days and daytime temps are predicted to be in mid 70's at 9000'+ elevation!

SWGA hunter here. Season has been open for two weeks and I haven’t been yet. I’m sorry but I’m just not going when it 94-95 at 6:30 PM. No, that’s not my idea of hunting. We had 105 degree heat index over the weekend...no interested, not at all. And I love hunting as much, if not more, than the next guy.

Not quite southern, but, KS muzzleloader opened yesterday. It hit 94' and I sweated through every article of clothing I had on.  Passed up 2 small bucks and lots and lots of does. The silver lining of the drought this year is almost no mosquitoes.

If successful at arrowing a buck, one must also deal with the damn flies in hot weather....

Yes, a big meat box fulla ice, a year round running low water bridge never hurts either.

It's hotter than 2 rats frigging in a wool sock around here. Hunted last Saturday morning. Seen 5 does. Going in the morning, Friday. Gotta hunt when you can...

Ours opens Saturday, It was 99 yesterday and 98 today. I was planning on going but it is just too hot to risk having one rot.

Yup, rain all day tomorrow, slacking off a bit on Sunday, if no blue fire in the sky, I'll be set up and waiting.
