Anybody hunting in this heat?

Just wondering if anybody is hunting in this heat. I am itching to get out just this heat keeps me away not to mention these hurricane force winds.

Plan on going out here in about 10 min. I got about a hour drive, so im hoping to get in the stand by 5:30

Between 2 of us last night we saw 24 deer and 5 bucks. 2 shooters and a good eight pointer.

We will see what happens tonight

I think your talking deer hunting but I am a waterfowler. I was out all day yesterday for the opener and then again this morning. We shot our limit of ducks yesterday but today was not as good. I dont care how hot out it is I just go and hunt, Cause when November 22nd comes and Duck Closed and then Early December when Goose closes I wish I could have one more day. Get out and hunt while you can is my theory

Hey Rat are you cutting and freezing on the same day you shoot the deer???, Just curious I would like to hunt but figure the meat would spoil on the drag out.

I am not Rat, but here is what I did when hunting in the heat. As soon as I found the animal, get it field dressed as quick as possible, and get it home. I then skinned and quartered without the bone right away. If I didn’t have time to cut and wrap the meat right away, I put the meat in garbage bags and put them in the refrigerator. I also didn’t put a lot of meat in each bag so the meat could cool down faster. If you don’t have a lot of dirt or debri on the meat, it doesn’t affect the meat if it sits overnight in a cool area. Just my opinion

Be careful what kind of bag you use most garbage bags will say right on the box not recommended for food storage, I believe that most of them are treated with something for odors or bugs but I am not sure what it is. I have been told by a couple of different guys who do deer processing not to put the meat in garbage bags.

Ooops, I guess I better tell myself to fall over and get sick now
Honestly, I have never heard this before and I have done this for quite a few years with no ill effects
It very well could be true, but chewing,smoking, driving, eating red meat, drinking water, eating eggs, drinking coffee, fishing in lightning, and just about everything else will kill you according to 80% of the experts

I have been in the woods to hunt in over a week . It’s just to hot. I like to hang em for a couple days. When you butcher you own I think that it is a little better to have it colder for hanging and butchering.

JEEZ I have been putting Ducks, Pheasents, Fish in garbage bags for a long time. In fact I just ground some Venison this weekend that was in a black garbage bag.

WHO DA THUNK?

Shot a doe last night with my 5 year old in the blind with me. Let her go an hour and found her, gutted her and filled her with ice, put some wood under her to let air circulate and took it to the butcher this morning right away and he said she looked great!!
