This year has been so out of the norm, with one of the rainiest Springs ever, and now cool Summer days. While it’s hard to complain about not burning up, it is playing havoc with the soybean crop. And, if things don’t change very soon, we will see the latest harvest most folks can remember.
Mother always told me that when God gives you lemons, make lemonade. So, we have taken advantage of the weather, and used the cooler mornings to get a few stands up in some of the traditional funnel areas. There is still a lot of that work left to do, but its mighty nice to be out there now. And, you don’t feel totally washed out by 10 AM when the temps are so low. The forecast is calling for mornings in the low 50s shortly. So, we are going to be ready!
In conversations with our hunters, I always state that the number one thing we need to produce big buck sightings is cold weather. This trend might just mean that we roll into November with frosty mornings, and daytime highs in the 40s! And, from a hunter’s point of view, it don’t get no better than that! On those days, the big bucks will roll! So, get your fleece ready, and go buy some disposable handwarmers. This could be a season to remember!
