It seems about over other week we get pounded with inches of rain. I got a feeling it's going to be a wet, snowy, and a cold hunting season. This makes it hard to track and or wait after a shot. Good luck Oct 1st and season.

Farmers Almanac is calling for flurries the end of Oct. They usually average 80% correct.

It's been ridiculous down here, hasn't it? I haven't even stepped foot on our property since turkey season. Heard the acorn crop is substantial this year, hope so, cuz that is my go-to early season stand set.

Normally we receive about 45 inches of rain a year. So far this year, we've already received 57" (includes what has fallen so far today) and I won't be shocked if we break 60" by either the end of today or Tuesday.
The wettest year ever (according to the National Weather Service) was 2011 with 68.02 inches of rain and I won't be surprised if we top 70" this year as we still have October, November and December to go.
We had a dry slot yesterday and finished putting in a couple of ladder stands and double checked a few others to be sure they were in tight. The food plots look good (if they don't drown out)...
So @ this point, we're finished with chores and waiting for the season to start.

I use the Indian method of predicting the winter........
Indians would predict the winter weather by how much fire wood the white man cut.

Grandpa said " Best to worry about things you can control. Let god worry about the rest".. Weather will be what it is. On a positive note EHD has not been a issue this year.

Weather man on channel 3 in Louisville just said we are on track to have the third wettest September ever. I've been in the construction business for 20 years and this has been, by far, the worst year that I have experienced.

The weather people are predicting the all-time record for the month will be broken by Wednesday. |

I saw a large hornets nest the other day that was only 10-12' off the ground.
