SECOND half of province opens sept 8th..............crazy heat wave on;;;;;;;;;;you guys going to delay your hunt???
I head out tomorrow to WMU 46. I booked off vacation time. I can't back out now.
Ya, putting the brakes on until the weekend at least.
Yep,us,too,although we're hunting within an hour from home and buddy has access to a cooler. If it wasn't for that,I doubt we would go out,at all,until the heat drops off considerably.Quote:

We've been out since the 1st north of here. I sat for 9hrs today and 6 1/2 lasterday in this heat. The bears are moving during the day. I had a sow with 3 cubs come to visit 3 different times thisday. Lasterday I bumped the sow and cubs going to the stand. Just gotta have a place to cool them down after the shot. There be bear meat in the freezer already and hopefully more to come. I really like the corn fed bear.

But was alot of work! on Thursday my partner could not come and i shot a 220 lbs and pulled it out and loaded by myself!!! Would of bein a lot easyer in 10 degree weather but heck its done and in the cooler now! I sertenly did not here many shots or meet anyone going out hunting!
