Thread: Hunting Over Hot Ground - Other Huntrsr Spoiling Your Hunt #$@#

I had a guy with a dog come past me on the track a couple of weeks ago, the dog was off the lead and running around like a mad thing, and them two trampers came past, thought my day was over but carried on for a walk, about 1 hour later the dog came back, with owner,so i turned around set off down the hill only to spook a hind, which actually ran towards me.
My question is, how long does the it take for the hot ground to cool down so to speak?i understand that the weather will have a part in it, but when they take off is it for good or just a couple of hours, or days.
