Apple Trees ?

No peaches (not even any blossoms). Very few and very scraggly, small, mis-shapened, apples that are completely useless (much fewer blossoms than last year). very small pear numbers compared to any year previous. No wild apples. No berries. No black walnuts. No butternuts. Quite a few hickory nuts. Not sure about acorns yet. I have seen a few around. Pretty much just a plain ol' crap year for fruit and some vegetables. Of course I do live in a very steep valley that is known for late frosts.

 

There must have been some stealth late frost that I was not aware of (I was watching for it this year).

Our apples are pretty sparce this year, and our pears are almost non existant. Last year we had vast abundances of both. Plots and crops are going to get hit really hard this year. Should actually make cueing in on the movement easier. Last year it was kida tough to figure out the food sources they were using, as they had easy pickings all over the place.

I remember there was a thread about that topic last year. I agree. It was tough because the bucks were not traveling much until the sun went down. A bunch of times I had 3-4 does come out of the thick pines at sundown presenting beautiful 20yd shots and all the while I could hear the buck inside the pines stomping, grunting & rubbing. He pinned me down in my stand a few times for 30 minutes after dark. I never did arrow him, but he's got a track like a damn mule!
