Keep Cool When Hunting

One important thing to remember when hunting during the warmer months is to make sure you keep yourself and your hunting dogs cool. Heat stroke is dangerous, and can knock you out of the hunting game if you are not careful. So before you go out and hunt during the warmer seasons, make sure you bring along a few important items:
1 - Water! Of course, water is very important for both you and any hunting companions you may bring along. When it is hot outside it's very easy to overheat yourself. Just imagine how much easier it is to overheat when you have a coat of fur! So make sure to not only keep an eye on yourself, but also on any hunting dogs that may accompany you.
2 - Electrolytes. Some say Gatorade is just as important to have on hand as water, especially if your hunting trek involves any hiking. So make sure that in addition to water you have something handy such as Gatorade.
3 - Carry food. If you will be out for a long period of time, make sure you take a break and enjoy a quick snack, such as an orange or an apple.
4 - Have shade. Whether it's through the use of a hat, make sure you have access to shade when out.
