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.

It was 30 Celsius up at Bissett Creek we didn't see or hear anything. Didn't even hear a gun shot. I don't think to many people were out up there.

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.

Just finished yesterday! hunted last week Tuesday,wensday,thursday,saturday and sunday from 3:30 pm till dark! we saw lots of bears ( mostly sows and cubs) Sent control is very hard in 30 degree weather! I hunt 1:40 h from home and traveled every day exept for saturday we sleep out there. we got 2 nice bears. I was holling ice every day ( frozen 5 gal. pails )and it worked out good. 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!
