I had a bit of an epiphany a year or so ago, and decided I do this stuff because I want to, not because I have to. I hunted a good young dog last winter, and put him up soon as it got hot. If he comes out firing in the fall great, if not I'll cut my losses and move on.
Summer hunting in my area equals excessive heat, clouds of mosquitoes, armies of chiggers, a plethora of poisonous snakes, and ticks. And ticks equals a variety of diseases for dogs and hunters. As was mentioned above, you can make problems this time of year easier than you can remedy them.
Lastly, this is a time of year I dedicate to family stuff. For me that's vacations, afternoons in the creek, tournament softball, and basketball camps with the kiddo. Makes it a little easier for me to live with myself in the fall when the weather gets right and I start spending way too many nights roaming around the bottoms...
