Anyone else hanging/moving stands this weekend?

THA4 and myself are going to be down in SE Iowa with forecasted temps of 94 and 96 for Saturday and Sunday.

We might be stupid....
 
I still have two stands to hang but will not do it this weekend. 100 degrees for Saturday and 98 for Sunday. I think I will pass out on this weekend.
 
You said it I didn't...

Isnt amazing what we do and what we go through to connect with the almighty whitetail.

Take plenty of Gatorade and water with you guys!! Don't over do it.
 
I was out choppin thistels yesterday. When I was done I had planned on trimming a path to a tree I'm gonna put a stand in. By the time I got to the tree I just laughed and went to sit on the deck in the shade. It was only in the mid 80's yesterday, I can't imagine doin it in the mid 90's.

This probably goes with out saying, but hot people tend to make bad desicions due to imparied judgment, so before you shimmy up that tree and try to jump from limb to limb, stop, take a break, rehydrate, make a plan and be safe. You can't kill 'em from a hospital bed.

RBB, I only have one tip, DON'T DO IT!!..90+ degrees is bad enough, but try it while wearing a wool sweater. However it is nice in November....hardly ever get cold...good trade-off I reckon.
 
went in this morning with a buddy in pants and long sleeve shirt...wasn't horrible until the climbing started...but it still wasn't that bad in the shade. The mosquitos on the other hand were a little tough. Carry a bottle of water with you and you'll be fine! Might even lose a little weight!

Still have one or 2 more to trim in though....man, can't wait 'til October!!!!!

Stick a couple leaves in it and you've got some cheap camo.

Been there done that. I went out last summer and hung stands for someone else. It was 101 the day I went otu. I just about passed out while hang a stand climbed my big butt down and went home. Then to top it off the guy sat in the stand and passed the biggest buck of his life the day before Rifle season because he wanted a booner! Forget that stuff! There is plenty of time to hang stands. Come the Gathering!
 
Im in Kansas right now and their weather makes Iowa seem mild! Its hovering right around 100 degrees actual temp down here.

One point - this time of year can also be looked at training for the upcoming season. I usually will walk into any opening day in pretty good shape. For our style of hunting, being out of shape can be the difference in getting lazy or keeping at it HARD all season long.
 
Sorry guys but until this hot weather passes this is where I will be with the kids and a nice cold one.
