summer hunting?

I can tell you right now, GO GET A CAMMEL BACK! It will save your life, and your dogs! Mostly we hunt early in the mornings, but at night some too. But here in Texas it gets HOT! So make sure you have water or something. What helps more I think is a half n half mix in the cammel back. I use Gateraid, and it seems to affect the dogs more. Also, when the dogs are more tired, the more likely they are to slip up and get cut... so make sure you have sutures and other first aid stuff handy. Seems to me that more dogs get cut in the summer than the winter. JMO
