Title: Anyone else noticing and extremely late fall?
Post by: Michael Arnette on November 18, 2016, 02:32:00 PM
Anyone else noticing and extremely late fall? The oaks are just starting to turn here in northeastern Oklahoma. Normally they start turning late October and are gone by the first couple weeks of November.
I'm not sure if it has changed deer movement much but it is interesting nonetheless

Michael, I've been noticing the same thing. I can remember many rifle season in Oklahoma where I have dumped bagged leaves at the farm after a morning hunt. This year. all leaves are still on the trees and a lot of them have not even, or are just now, starting to change colors. At least we finally got some colder weather. Tomorrows freeze will probably kick start the leaves dropping

72 degrees in Northern MI this afternoon. The bottom is dropping out tonight and we could have 4-6 inches of snow accumulation by Sunday night!

Yep here around the KC area for sure... was 75 yesterday. Heck my apple trees are still green, not a hint of color on them.   In years past I have pics of buck's I've harvested in northern MO with snow on the ground by now.

It was late here but the leaves are gone now.

Here in Wyoming we had our first snowy, cold day yesterday. Before that we enjoyed temps in the 60s.

We had lightening last night, winter is here.  It is about time that we had a global warming fall, the sun ,which a is periodical dwarf star, has been on its upward cycle for a couple of years.  But alas, winter, the old faithful white pain in the ass is here.

I'd have to agree

Same here in NC, but the meteorologist technoweenies with all their double Dopplers called it a month ago due to lack of rainfall.  They're all proud of themselves, but even a blind hog will pick up an acorn every once in awhile!

Same here, I picked a few strawberries yesterday before I mulched the plants. Cold front this weekend supposed to have lows in the 20s, about time.

   Hopefully this will help with a little more daytime deer movement.

Today was the first proper cold day yet.

Yes, it's very noticeable around here this year. Hit the mid sixties here today, when a few years ago I remember snow around this time. It's thrown my hunting way off...ok, maybe that's just an excuse... but it definitely seems to have impacted deer movement, fall fishing, etc. Supposed to get cold this weekend though.

The storm  and wind quit, the rut is on.  Was thinking that i was going out early.  I got up too early because my neck is stiff.  So I thought a little huntin' music would wake me up.  Listened to this three times, NOW I AM MOST DEFINITELY READY, to go back to bed.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxgmorK61YQ

Don't mean to start a debate about global warming, but, this year has been the warmest on record. No scientific basis for my opinion, but that has to have something to do with it.

Normal Averages Hi/Lo for KY

Oct 67/47
Nov 55/37

While yesterday was pretty warm, so far much of Nov around here was pretty close to normal.

I concur. I saw more deer movement in Oct than I have in Nov?? Leaving me scratching my head?

Coinciding with the late rut.

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.
