summer hunting?

I hunt year round. The thing I would say is important is conditioning. All the water in the world won't help if your dogs aren't used to the heat. Having said that, have water available or know where water sources are on the places you hunt. Make sure you watch your dogs, they will tell you when the heat is getting to be too much for them, tounges hangin way out, stuff like that. On really hot nights, be ready to catch your strike dogs before they roll out again. They might be up for it, but the cd's or other dogs may not be. I always try to get vests of the cd's once the pig is stuck to let them cool down too. But the one thing that really needs to be stressed is conditioning, makes all the difference in the world. Hope this helps.
