Default Acorns falling already...

Went to check game cams Saturday and was totally shocked to find several red oaks dropping big ol' acorns.I dont think I have ever seen them fall this early.Maybe now the cams will get some pics on them for it has been a slow slow summer for buck pics...

Turkey fan I believe,I believe.Here in Maryland we had a couple nights down in the low 50's.That was nice and I bet it got them deer moving.They probably thought winter was gonna hit any minute.

Bring on the rut.

I noticed red oaks dropping acorns around my land to I don't think they were mature though maybe a storm made them fall off the treewas still loaded with acorns though. I put my stand near a trail that was about 25 yards from the red oak. I am feeling really confident about this spot Oct 1 will be here sooner or later.

Here in MO we have had the 10th coolest summer on record. The high here tomorro is only suppose to be 70. Should be around 100 this time of year. I agree, early fall on the way. Some of the trees are turning already as well. Not many, just a couple, enough to dream.

I've been working on planting a fall plot on my land in New Hampshire and there was a vast amount of mast falling from the trees. The property only has red oaks and they've been dropping for the better part of the last two weeks.

It won't be long now.....
