Will the heat affect your choice of where to hunt?

Wondering about not hunting my best ruts spots this upcoming week with record high temps. More the afternoon sets I'm concerned about. Is the heat altering anyone's plans on where to hunt?

Temps are going to be a bit above average here but not unbearably hot. Regardless I'm setting up in the vicinity of known waterholes and ponds when possible. Here anything over 50 deg. this time of the year has deer seeking water sources more often especially when the chasing starts. In the hills I made that a priority this spring to find high elevation water sources just in case it gets warm.
