[QUOTE="espringers, post: 56815, member: 816"] its about being conscious of your dog, the situation and the conditions. after her once/year spat with working too hard from being excited (happens in 55 degree weather too), i can hunt her in pretty much in any conditions as long as i hunt under the right situations and pay attention to her. for the most part it involves the ability to keep her around water. opening weekend i hunted her all day saturday in 85-90 degree weather and sunday until the weather turned and it was about 85 then. the only issue she had was early morning saturday when it was relatively cool. once she settled down, it was game on the rest of the weekend and she was a machine. BUT... i carried 2 bottles of water and made a point to make sure we were hunting next to water of some sort if the walk was gonna last longer than 5 minutes. at no point during the rest of the hunt, did she show any signs of exhaustion or over heating and i like to think i know my dog pretty well. like i said, i've literally stopped hunting for 20-30 minutes in the middle of a walk when i thought she might be overdoing things. my previous 2 springers never ever had a problem with over heating or exhaustion. they did a good job of pacing themselves. so, this isn't necessarily a one shoe fits all situation. its all about paying attention to your dog, the conditions and the situation. like i said earlier... if i had to quit hunting when it gets to 60-65 degrees, i might as well stay home. we don't live in pheasant country. i am not about to drive 2-4 hours and spend 2-3 nights in a hotel and $300 in gas so that i can hunt til 11 AM and then go back to hang out at the hotel the rest of the day.
