Fall is here

One may feel a primeval feeling in the air.A quicker step, sharpened senses, The change in temperature,the Visual glory of Autumn starting...Frost on the growing pumpkins, Buffalo plaid shirts,the stillness in the woods,the aroma of leaves being burned,firewood being gathered, the hunt to start,days in the woods,deer all excited now,the timeless rut is on their mind,the bear gorging them selves,the barn now chock full of winter hay,and at local airstrips,the best time of the year for flight.....All in All a great time to be alive,and in tune with nature,as well as the glory of fall flight!!

its 85 and sunny here, lol and wally world has xmas stuff out too.

I once had a pet wild turkey, gobble girl, lol it drove my old dog pooch nuts
 
Yep, fall is here. I've started carrying my rifle out with me to take care of those pesky tree rat squirrels that are eating up my pecan crop.

I've got a few turkeys out behind the house. A hen and a young one colored up like wild ones and a Royal Palm gobbler (white with black edging on his feathers).
 
You fellas are way behind. We have been enjoying Spring in Australia since the 1st of September and major chain stores have had Christmas decorations up since late July.
 
I have worked for Costco for 25 years ( oh my). The way we deal with all seasonal merch is get it in early and try to have it gone three to four weeks before the Holiday.

Jim

I went to Costco the other day and they already had the Christmas stuff on display. Unbelievable!
 
Me and Ickie are still in rainy season. That's how we measure time.

Thanksgiving is when rainy season is over.
 
I'm screwed up system wise with this thing called Fall. I'm only used to Arctic winters and a short warming season. Well time to check on my front yard flag pole with the Maple Leaf/NWT flying proud in Texas.

Willy: Got to admit , I had to Google that one , I had forgotten about that particular species :icon_lol:. We have a lot of Gray and Fox squirrels . I used to hunt a lot (deer,rabbit, squirrel) but have slacked off the last four or five years . My son and son-in-law threaten to drag me out this year . The doe are already popping out more frequently now so "Rut" season must not be too far away . I could see where the "Rat" squirrel could be very destructive .

Good shooting !:tgun2:

hut , a log house .
 
Very Nice Crusader!.. great Environment.you show....Those of us who live,or have lived in areas where Autumn is alive,can really.relate to this!...Unfortunately,my self,I now am in Flordia.A land of really no seasons except Hurricanes,and more heat...Its now I get the call of the wild,and must go back to up state NY...Long Johns,Sorel Boots ,Buffalo plaids, and anticipation of the Biggest Buck Ever!......Being in the late fall of my life now,I relate to Autum.....For ya see Old Man Winter is near!!
 
...Always know when autumn has arrived,......when I have to turn on the furnace for the first time since last Spring. Like I did this morning...:kilroy:.
