dog got out of kennel I was gone three hours at the doctors. get home and

My favorite female is gone. drove around, she never gets out of pocket and never leaves one coon behind her.

the air was so thick when I was going to the kennels with the family to do chores I told the wife Its hard to breath out here with the humidity.

I found the female, had to drive around, heard her.

now THINK about it..she is bagged up like a jersey cow with milk right now its the 8th week with 9 pups...........

I get to her she is in a swamp low spot drinkin muck water,
I said...."hey where are they" she turned and ran back to her tree

Too Big Fat coons at 8pm still had day light. She is now off those pups if she'll run away and go coonhunting, they are weaned.

BUT ITS TOO HOT TO HUNT!!!.........for me

The last two nights have been 80 here and the humidity is enough to melt you in your boots. Just made two drops both nights and treed two both nights. You couldn't ask for better weather to get a dog ready for the World. You hunt them every night in this stuff, you have a dog that is as tough as it can be. If it don't quit in August, that dog won't ever quit. I wish I was tough enough to hunt later in this weather.

I try to make two cuts every other night or so. I just can't see the point. I always ask myself what i'm accomplishing when I hunt in the heat ? I like to enjoy hunting not look at it like work. I guess if I was hunting a younger dog I may suffer the heat and hunt regardless but right now every other night or 3 days a week is enough for me and my dogs. Typically they look the same weather I hunt them 2 days a week or 6.

Well i agree we aren't having much fun when it's 80 degrees out there. It wasn't much fun last winter when it was 10 degrees either plus we weren't even shining a tree some nights. But considering where that work has led to, I don't regret it and I won't regret hunting in this heat. Even if it ain't fun.

It,s been pretty humid here also. not to bad when you hunt the creeks but when you go to the woods it is pretty miserable. I went last night while it was raining, got wet but it was better then straight sweat running all over me.

Too hot to climb these mountains after a coondawg. Barely been getting down to the upper 70's of the nights around here. 78 degrees when I got in the truck to come to work this morning at 6am. 92 degrees at 10pm last night and the humidity has been just as high.

Broke records all across the state yesterday for heat index,..lots of places out west in the 120's and 130's for heat index. Ours is supposed to be between 110 and 120 for the next couple days.

Were still hunting here in Florida but it is miserable and we arent hardly finding any coons. Gonna switch back to night hunting. Been out four mornings now before daylight and tree one coon, and that was at 8:30 in the morning. No strikes at all this morning. Gonna hunt tomorrow night and see if our luck changes any.

Heat index was 127 here yesterday. The temp was still over 90 at 10pm not to mention the heat index.That in my opinion is too hot to hunt.Dogs can have heat stroke just like people.

I have a question for the fellas down south. How do your dogs handle the heat and not blow up? My dogs get so hot treeing I am scared I am going to lose one to heat stroke. They are not used to it being hot all year long, but it has been a hot summer and they are still getting over hot on the trees.

80 degrees is prolly my personal limit. It never gets hotter than that at night around here and if it does, I'm staying home. Even at 75-80, the coons are hard to come by but I figure that is a good thing if you are training a broke dog.

I can take the heat but those bugs sure get to me. Last night might have been the worse night ever for hunting... About 80 degrees out right before the rain with about 95 percent humidity... and bugs thicker than all get out... Makes me really wonder why I was out there. That female of mine better never act up after i took her out in that.

In the South dogs and people that stay at it regularly can stand it.

Do you never lose any to heat stroke or having a lung blowup?

That is odd, because up here I have heard of dogs just getting too hot and dieing under the tree or getting in a bean field chase and passing out from heat exhaustion. I guess dogs get used to the climate they live in.

It's because they are not use to it or kept in shape for it.
