It changed in a hurry here. Friday  I sat 7 hours up in a tree with a nasty north wind.  When I climbed down, I couldn't zip the zipper of my vest with my left hand- no strength in it..

Friday and Saturday not one single deer sighted, in ND and MN with not one single sighting of a deer.   My average sightings have been pretty good this year.

I was thinking the same thing about how Fall seems to be very late here in Md. but last evening just as the sun went down my family were at a dairy farm getting some home made ice cream as a treat and as my wife walked in it was mid 60's and as she walked out and we headed home temps dropped about 15 degrees in no time.
 While we were sitting there in my truck watching the sun go down I said looks like a cold front coming in and we were looking at the sky and all of a sudden the wind picked up strong and leaves came flying off everywhere .
 This morning I just fired up our pellet stove for the first time this year.
 Glad it's here praise God. I love Fall!

Frogs were still croaking on the eastern plains of Colorado a week and a half ago and bugs were still horrible last week. Last Wednesday it was 80, Thursday it snowed and got down to 17 degrees, die flies, die!

It finally cooled off here. It went down into the 30's last night.

No question.  I'm above 8,000' here in the Rockies and we only got our first snow on Thursday of this week.  I put the plow-blade on my ATV in mid-September!!

Since we hunt vertically here, the definite change has been that the elk are much higher up than they normally are this time of year.  Hard on this old-man to get up that high!

I decided the snow in my yard was ugly, so we went south and east to hunt where there was not snow yesterday.  i had four deer in front me at 20 minutes after sunset.  I will not shoot at a deer later than that, they were not going to come any closer so I got up, they moved away and I took a nice fall like stroll back to my car.  I miss fall already.   'Snow, what's it good for .... Absolutely,,, nothin'."   I am pretty sure that's how that old song went.
