De apples has done fell here
We have a few apple trees here. Mostly yellow transparents..which are early..also some Lodi..early apples too. The deer were on 'em like stink though..We picked most of 'em and momma made applesauce with 'em...and we must have given away 10 bushell. Gonna try to post a pic of a deer or two trying to eat the taters and maters.. I never saw a deer eat potato plants..now they want to dig 'em up and eat 'em...Well they loaded. BTW these aren't the big ones. These are about a 100 ft from the house

Apples are ready here as well; bow opener is on Saturday (10/1)....my buddy and I will be in Wyoming chasing 'lopes.
 I've also found that apple trees attract grouse as well.....bit of a problem when you find your single apple trees on state land (that used to be old homesteads), and there is a bow hunter there....they usually get pissed at you.  I have some paper shells that I reload a few years back (found the hulls in the dumpster and reloaded them). I have a pheasant hunt planned on one of the local preserves when I get back, and I will use them for my little labrador's first bird hunt. For those who have never experienced it, the smell of a freshly fired paper hull is wonderful aroma!  If I could find a way to duplicate and bottle it, I think I would have a winner!....and yes, old shotguns, like old dogs and old hunters, deserve to be afield! Skeet....great photos of the deer.
