You need to begin using "tropical hours". Be on site at daylight and on the way home by noon.

Looking at 111 heat index's here this week, probably be 199 heat index down there, lol.

Yes....been stopping by local store for coffee and a bit of BS with the locals, but I've gotta get to the woods much earlier next few days. Supposed to be 98F next few days and the index will be what JTrap says....

Beaver must blow up like balloons after a couple days in that heat.

Not days, HOURS!

JTrap is correct. It's hours and they will be swollen belly and slipping.

This morning I left at 430 am to run my nuisance line for beaver and coyote, and was done by 830, my shirt and hat were soaked in sweat.

GaryM,
You still trapping beavers?

You and I both should've quit a month ago.

I love the South. Born and raised in the Mid-South. I now I live in NC. The south is Hot, Humid. We're swarmed with Yellow flies, Deer Flies, 2" horse flies, 12 different sub species of mosquitoes , ticks, Cottonmouths, copperheads, and crocagators .
But! there ain't no Yankees in this blessed time of environmental torture. The ones that are here are on the beach cooking like a roast. I really look forward to June, July, and Aug. Oh heck throw in Sept now!
I'll never move from the South. I'll just keep investing in thermal cells and Deep Woods Off.
Thanks God for who ever invented the air-conditioner. My luck it was some dang yankee!
In the mean time i'll trap summer beaver till I don't.

varmintshooter you jogged my memory of this past spring, lady had a dead coon in her yard i went to get. Could tell from the accent 'she aint from around here', lol. She started in on tornado's then worked her way to this horrible heat down her, only reason she moved down here was because of her husband but since he passed 3 years ago she was packing her stuff up and moving back to ohio, lol.

Im REALLY hoping she tells all the locals up there what a horrible place this is so no more of them nose talker's move down here, lol.
