Hunting near Pittsview, Al. .... Russell Co.
The acorn crop is better than i had earlier expected. The Chestnut Oaks for some reason are pretty much barren. In the past they have been loaded up almost every years. Lots of Water Oak acorns. White Oaks are their typical fennicky selves ... about 50% are loaded , the rest are barren.
After a toad-floating summer, it has been so dry down our way that our food plots are on the verge of near total failure. Rain gauge at the camp has totaled less than 1" since we planted during the week of Sept. 26. But it is what it is.
We have been laying the does in the weeds during archery season. But so far not much in the way of decent bucks being seen.
Very little signs of territorial marking as of yet. I have come acroos only 1 scrape and a few rub lines, but nothing much. How about your place?
