Getting Close

[xcaliber]

Today we had a stiff North breeze blow in, and temps will dip near 50 F tonight. It is early for such temps. here in mid August, and the trees look a bit odd. Is there an early Fall in the works? The Almanac predicts a harsh winter here, and winter conditions beyond normal range. I love the Fall, and Winter, so I'm hoping they are right!
Hoping the Skeeters are dead early this Fall, and everyone enjoys the outdoors, hunting buddies, and memories to last for many years. Harvesting a nice deer, doe, or buck does not matter, just the successful hunt is all most seek.
As we age, our experience gets refined, but our physical limits are more challenged. For the seasoned fellas, be careful, know your limits, return home healthy, joyful, and satisfied, for the younger fellas, help us old farts out please!

The weather has been yo yoing up and down temp wise from low 60 ' s and 70 ' s at night to upper 80's and low 90 ' s during the day here in south jersey.

However...the leaves are starting to turn and fall already and the oaks are loaded down with huge acorns!

I have a feeling it's gonna be a cold fall/winter and with the heavy acorns a fun time persuading the deer to eat corn.

Thankfully I have some oaks I should be able to hunt by, that or convert my two small gravity feeders to handle acorns and not corn. Hmmmm

Storm. My area is also loaded with pin oaks acorns. I mean it's going to be a huge mast crop. We should have some fat deer this year in NJ

It feels like fall is here tonight, but I have a feeling there will be more hot weather before fall is really here.
Sure wish squirrel season was open tomorrow, though. (Sept. 1 is the opener)
Fun to get in a few squirrel hunts before deer season arrives, and it's a lot easier to get my son out of bed for a squirrel hunt than it is for school.

Mid 70's for a high yesterday, as opposed to 106 10 days ago. That's a NICE difference!! but.....It'll be hot by tomorrow again. T'aint fair!

Lol. And the way things are going once they start falling look out. My one hunting buddy calls them crack for deer and I believe him!

When's your season start? Mine starts Oct 3rd in my zone for fall bow.

Well said Dan. Temp at my place this morning is 54 f, sun coming up and coffee is ready. Life is good. I don't think fall is here yet, like was said, but the cool temps. are enjoyed by me. Be SAFE Everyone.

Happy Trails
