Donnie, the humidity is what gets you and your dogs. You can hunt in higher temperatures if the humidity is low, but temps with high humidity is like a steam bath, just miserable at least for me. It's hard to get in a every night mode during the fall and winter months extending through Spring, then come summer with the heat and humidity and it's hard for hunters to just stop. I learned that the bad just far out weighed the good in summer hunting. Dogs and man overheating, dealing with ticks, mosquitos, snakes and poison ivy, oak all of the nasties that makes summer hunting a real pain with little gain that made me quit summer hunting. My dogs need little tuneup in the fall to get back on track, so little that I wondered why I EVER summer hunted. Dave
