Yes and one would think auto insurance companies would also alert drivers to the upcoming. Mine doesn't.

Congrats all.

Hate to mow that yard, LOL.

In the clover and wheat. Last pic was a turkey roosting 20 yds. in front of me. On fly down, nearly hit my ladder stand on Oct. 16th.Haven't seen one since. Season opened the 20th here, go figure

Looks good.

Get out today and get one of those big deer on your birthday.

Nice, congrats.

Been a windy one here. Lake effect rain showers through the afternoon to eve, with a little hail thrown in, just to make it nasty. Head cold to complete the day.

We're in the October lull. Deer have even gone off the food plots, nearest I can tell. Their hammering the leaves in the woods big time. Pretty much the norm here. Good luck Eddie.

Congrats. Nice to see a family experience.

And by hunting definition, anytime u disturb or worry wildlife, your hunting. Kinda throws a fly in the ointment doesn't it.

This is another one of those "Gray Areas." I can see a ticket coming for state revenue.

By definition, a person is hunting even if they disturb or worry wildlife whether or not they result in taking. Was told by gun safety coarse instructor as well as ECO's that this is a "Gray Area" If they feel a need to issue a ticket, they will.

Nice purchase. Dicks is always willing to deal. They can make local decisions in the store, which is a plus in my boat. I made some great buys in our local store.

Congrats on your first deer. Show that deer off, full mount indeed.

Those fatty doe. Think their is as much fat as meat on them sometimes. When I pull the cape, and see all that fat; oh man!

We always hang by the neck or antlers. Drains better, and those that butcher themselves know what I'm talking about. Also, sometimes the head will swell, if hung by the hind legs. To each their own.

Would say that 75% of our leaves are already on the ground. Seems early for October 18th. Seems like we've had our share of high winds already this season. Tonight gust front went through dry, but the leaves blew to the next county, LOL. More should be on the ground , so hunting the woods in the morning, Good luck everyone. Wish u deer success.

Deer here, have stop feeding on the radish. Think the top growth is to rank. I'm still feeding on some of the smaller tubers. Nice mild flavor. Wonder how canning them would turn out? Tried freezing but turn to mush when thawed. Have 3 planting dates on the oats. Little experiment. They eat a patch the size of a kitchen table on the 10" ones, on one plot, not touching the 3" at all. Also summer fallowed the tall ones. The shorter were hay land roto tilled and planted. No fert on any. The young bucks come in and prefer the wheat. The doe and young eating the clover, vetch, fine timothy, and oats. Nothing is touching the turnip. Mornings have them locked up eating leaves from the low growing shrubs and wind drop, in the woods, early light on. Seem to prefer the maple.

From what I have witnessed here, I would say the breeding season has started. Actually witnessed an older buck very interested in a smaller doe. Their was no running, on the part of the doe. Although not witnessed, I would say breeding was taking place., by the actions of the pair. This, in my opinion, is extremely early, but not unusual for this area. I dislike the term rut, and never use it.

A swarm of bees in May, is worth a load of hay. A swarm of bees in June, is worth a silver spoon. A swarm of bees in July, ain't worth a fly. So true, relating to honey bees.

Had 4 above my head this am.. One hen almost flew right into my tree stand. Sitting their with a bow hunting deer, had the perfect bow shot. Dang season don't open till Saturday. Teasers.

Another 'Gray Area."

Thanks guys. Why do u prefer the beam scale? Do u recommend having both?

Looking good.
