Pecans are Falling

In my area the pecans have not started to drop quite yet. Not a good crop of acorns this year either. Fewer acorns means the deer will come out onto the plots more. Should be a great year.
I planted this past Tues. and today the seed was popping through. That is about the fastest that I have ever seen the germination. --- pruhdlr

Now until December usually means that the hogs will no longer come to the feeders at my places and live inside the woods. Of course, I haven't had hogs at my place in over a month. :-(
When the pecans fall the big boys start cruising!
240 pound lone boar taken at 45 yards with a 7.62x39 AR15 with Eotech and pvs 14
190 pound lone boar taken at roughly 100 yards with a NVEC Vital II IR laser and helmet mounted pvs 14 using a 6.8 rifle
Both of these boars were what has been described to me as a "cruiser". Both were alone, torn up, had decent size cutters, and never stopped walking. We had to use the truck and speed walk to cut their path off and get a shot.
We saw a sounder of about 30, but they didn't cross over to our side of the fence. Hog killing will continue to improve as the pecan crop and temps keep dropping. The first week we have daytime highs below 50 and lows in the 30s is when things will explode! I know I'm looking forward to it!!!!
Rob,
There will be plenty left. As long as there are sows there will continue to be hogs.

That much better than the barbie dolls hair you where brushing the other day.
You gotta make em loomk good for the photo. That's a picture Tim is going to look at for the rest of his life. Yes, I try to even make hogs look good for a photo.
Rob,
No shortage of hogs around these parts. The good part of the year is barely starting. We haven't even had the first freeze yet. When we have a week of days with highs 50 or below things will get even better. Temps are still in the 80s.
