Another post got me thinking and i know a lot of you are not hunting right now. I do a lot of hunting for local farmers and ranches. Now where i am from there is an abundance of hog doggers around the area. I don't think most of the places i run for would seek someone else to run there places when most of the places i run are family or just about family. However, I hunt every place i can every chance i can becuase i do worry that if i don't do what i can to help them out i would lose those places, and if there having problems i can't say i would blame them. Am i the only one that worries with this. I don't have contract with all of my places just becuase I trust them and they trust me, but i know if i were to ever stop running there is plenty of people in line to run my places. It is super Hot and i pride my dogs in being in shape and being able to get it done no matter how hot or cold it is, so it doesn't bother me too much. Now me i would never go behind anyone not even my worst enemy to take over one of there places i just think it's wrong, but i don't think every hog doggers has the same mentality.

It is hot and I still want to hunt. I just broke my wrist at the beginning of summer and it has put things in low gear. Then surgery made things much more painful. But I am going crazy and my dogs have started making a mess of everything because they want to hunt. I am not one to shut down in the summer if I can help it.

I kno wthe position you are and in and I can appreciate it. I have had to make my own decision personally because not only do the dogs get hot but it jepordizes my own health, and those I am hunting with.
I want to hunt, but in the end its really not worth the risk to me or my dogs on some days, and others I just can't stand it and feel like I have too or I will blow up if I don'tget out there.
I was reading about the few weeks in a row with temps. over a 100 degrees is whats wearing and tearing, most can take a fewdays in this heat but not weeks

[/quote]so do yall hunt at night r early in the morning [/quote] We only hunt at night right now. probably from "about" 11pm to 5am. just depending on how fast we get on them and how far we have to go to get to them. I kno wthe position you are and in and I can appreciate it. I have had to make my own decision personally because not only do the dogs get hot but it jepordizes my own health, and those I am hunting with.
