don't know why but the small game isn't what it was last year , i could count the number of squirlls on one hand that i've seen this year , the grouse as well . turkeys are plentyfull but not as many as last fall . i think that the warm-freeze-warm-freeze we had this spring proved to be a high mortality rate for the critters . rabbits seemed to fare the best , there everywhere along the ditches . and quite tastey too ! yes , we've already had a few frosts so ther o.k. to eat .
the acorns are huge ! keep that in mind for thoes post rut bucks you may want for the racks , they don't eat much during the rut but afterwards will try to get as much protien as they can to survive the winter , and acorns are the ticket !
