Hey gogetem, you better bring your poncho. It looks like it might be raining and SNOWING in much of the state for the next few days. Units with a quota are open year round, and as of last Wednesday no quotas have been met. Just make sure to call the number before you go out. Good luck.

One thing to remember in the heat is the humidity level. As everyone nows dogs cool themselves by siliva evaporating from there tongue while panting so a high humidity slows the evaporation it takes alot cooler temperature to overheat a dog in high humidity.

Does UV ray index have any influence?

Ok. So we've said Humidity is also a factor my question after hunting this morning is, Does the UV index matter when hunting in the heat? It was only 85 this morning humidity around 20%. I FELT like it was much hotter and I got sun burnt quite a bit, i was shocked to see that the temp was only 85. There is however a UV warning UV Index was 10+ extreme. I'm just curious if this affects the dogs. I imagine if it affects me it affects them but maybe not.
