Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Early Fall ?

Crepe Myrtles and weeping willows starting to brown up and drop leaves in our area. Quite a bit.

Generally don’t see this till the second or third week in September.

Also seeing some leaf browning on my hickory trees.

You guys seeing anything similar in your areas ?

It’s hotter than schit in southern Colorado, and you can’t see a flippin’ thing because of all of the smoke from the big fires out west. C’mon fall and cooler weather.

In the mid 90s here today with 85% humidity.

Sauna stuff.

The fall out here is absolutely spectacular. Bring it...!

I generally make a trip to Durango each fall and make the Hwy 550 loop around and back via Silverton, Ouray, Ridgeway, Dove Creek, Cortez and back to Durango.

Beautiful drive. The Animas Valley is a sight from elevation.

Just yesterday I noticed the morning air being crisp and cool, something I haven't felt in several months. When I lived in NYC, it was always the best part of summer to have the first fall morning weather show up, which usually was in September, and Monday morning here reminded me of that.

We’ve had a few mornings in the 50s and most lately have been in the 60s but gets hot by 10 am.

You are really perceptive. Where did your ancestors come from?

Was in the high forties the other day, 51 this morning I think.

Had to put on the hoodie and pants when I fed the chickens at 0545.

I noticed it just felt different.

Still smelled a little like smoke, and not from folks' wood stoves either.

Not yet up in NH. Been a very wet summer though. More heat incoming. Prob get the first fall feels in a couple/few weeks. They will be welcome.

You're talking Florida?
Don't you all have the latest falls in the country, no winter, followed by early spring?

The funny thing you brought it up.
Earlier this afternoon, we got a heavy rain. Cooled down just enough to get comfortable again. I walked a while and thanked the good Lord for the perfect weather that reminded me of a vacation in Florida. I kid you not.
However, I would imagine August is air conditioner, stay indoors time.

Did you get any cicadas? If it's the 17 year variety, they bore holes in branches damaging lots of young trees.

Yep. Many trees are turning a faint yellow. It is the earliest that I can remember.

Yellow jackets out in force early looking for winter surplus.

Very wet summer here, too, Harry. 3 times normal rainfall.

Louisiana, HC.

We do have the cicadas but that’s every year.

I put up some winter bee houses and they’re already full of larvae .

Poplars are turning here been hot and dry but look out for winter the tide will turn never fails wet summer brings mild winter dry summer brings snow

Suspect he is mighty ashamed to say.

You stop at Adobe milling in Dove Creek and pick up Anasazi Beans??

Leaves were falling here in N. central Arkansas three weeks ago , been dry as a popcorn fot
