Fall of the year
-
Man I love this time of year, hunting season started, just picked up a 40 lb sack of roasted green chile and it is cooling down outside so I can start making sausage.
bocephus Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. I walked outside to 52 degrees the other morning and I was so happy. Now that I have my Waltons hoodie all is good. Bring on hunting, football, and better temps for smoking!

calldoctoday It won’t be long when the highs are 70 or 60 and the nights in the upper 40s. Usually happens in a couple of weeks here.

bocephus already here. Leaves changing and falling.

YooperDog Yes, I do recall when being on assignment in some northern climes, even around the first or second week of September. In some, it seemed the change & then the drop was just about instantaneous though. Suddenly, there were leaves everywhere in some areas visited & folks in suburban & urban areas would pile them up at the front of their property in massive mountains of leaves. Then, giant sucking trucks (vacuum trucks) would come by & suck all the leaves up to be composted at a municipal operation. It was the law! The climate was nice.

Vegas reporting here. Still 100+ days nights though are 75

samspade Nevada & the American High Desert has really changed in the past 60 years. It used to be 110° in the day, but you could escape it in the shade to some degree because there was no humidity & 60° at night. in the Summer. It was real nice. Now you have a little bit of humidity, as I have been explained, due to all the grass, fountains, & greenery that used to not exist much. Lots of folks back then had desert lawns or painted gravel, not so much grass & definitely no ponds & fountains.

No kidding. I been here since 83 and remember the Canada Dry sign at flamingo and I15 saying 123 and it did not seem that hot. Now 108 and your looking for a place with A/C

calldoctoday We would rake them up and make a pile in the garden and burn them every fall and spread the ashes around the garden.

I love fall as well, we don’t usually get a true taste of it until October, however this was a very mild summer for Texas. At least for the Houston area not one day of recorded temp over 100°, and we have already have a few mornings in the 60’s. So hopefully fall shows up earlier than it has been in the past.

calldoctoday yes it seems to happen overnight, but we do get some Indian summer. The fall colors are great and usually draws a lot of folks into the area until leaf drop, then bird season gets better. The folks in towns and cities around here usually rake their leaves to the curb, we just haul them back into our woods. Hopefully the trucks get to the piles before the snow comes and they freeze in place. Then you wait for the plow trucks to come by and push them back up onto the lawn for you to deal with in the spring.

Here comes the pumpkin spice EVERYTHING! Let me know if anyone is interested in the |Pumpkin-Pie-Flavored-Bratwurst-Seasoning maybe I can put it on sale one day this week?
We seem to be hotter than usual this September in Wichita too, hoping it breaks soon but it doesn’t look like that is going to happen this week!

bocephus temps are like that here now in maine

90’s again this weekend in southern Wisco, ugh. It’s opening bow season as well. I will not be out as I usually don’t start hunting til last week of October unless there is a major cold front that moves through on a weekend. I do have a couple hit listers though that I would like to get before they go on the doe search

We have had close to 7 inches of rain over the last couple of weeks. The moisture, along with high temperatures as resulted in more mosquitos than we have seen all summer.
As if the heat wasn’t enough of a reason to stay out of the tree stand, the bugs pretty much make it a no-brainer around here. -
I am taking advantage of everyday before the riding season is over. I have put more miles on my motorcycle in the last couple of weeks than I normally put on in a couple of months. I have close to 3K planned so far for the next 3 weeks. Been needing some time to wrap my head around something’s.
By then some of the leaves will have fallen, easier to bird and squirrel hunt. Might even jump some puddlers. My new hunting buddy should be here in about two weeks, already had birds shot over her. Hopefully I will be able to find some shot shells and get some alone time in the field and build an understanding with her.

Always exciting times to get out with a new hunting dog.
Eventually, every dog I have had taught me more about upland hunting than they learned from me. -

YooperDog Always exciting working with a new dog, had a mentor tell me “hunt for the dog the first year and he will hunt for you the rest of his life.”
