Mmmmmmm....deer candy!

[JC]

Headin out to the evening stand...thought I'd share some pics....







This ol' girl is the finest persimmon tree I've ever seen...and the deer coming in after dark seem to think so too. Now, if I can just catch this one particular buck in a staging area far enough away from the field to get enough light for a shot  

[Terry Green]

Best of luck to ya bud!!!!!!!!    

[Benha]

Wish I had a half bushel to make some preserves.

[sticshooter]

Good luck JC. I never seen a persimmon tree before. I realy gotta get out of WI.><>

[Whip]

Good luck Bud!  
I've got deer eating candy here too.  But up here we call 'em apples.  

[Pat B]

Man, what a 'simmon tree! This has been a good year for native fruit in GA. We had lots of grapes and persimmons at my club in Oglethorpe Co.
  Hope you can outwit that old buck. Good luck!    Pat

[J-dog]

I'd be hard pressed to shoot a deer while I was eatin persimmons!

Our persimmons have long since fallen before season is here.

Luck!!

[Killdeer]

And all wrinkly like they are getting sweet! My brain puckers up every time I see one, but the properly aged ones are a treat! That place should be a lively one.

Those things look about right!  I'll let you eat one first just to make sure!  Good luck with that buck!  

[bloodyarrow]

they are ready dont forget to bite the seed open to see what you have knife, fork or spoon cant remember but the old saying had to do with the weather. good luck JC?

[Benha]

A Knife shape means there will be a cold icy winter (as in the wind will slice through you like a knife)
A Spoon shape means there will be plenty of snow for you to shovel.
A Fork shape means there will be a mild winter

[bloodyarrow]

that's it Thanks Benha it has been awhile.

[wtpops]

Man you are lucky my grandma dosen't know where that tree is. You wouldn't have any persimmons left on it and i would have a bunnnnnccccchhhhh of cookies.

[Aeronut]

All the Persimmon trees around here were loaded with fruit this year.  There are still a lot on the trees but between the deer and coons there aren't any left laying on the ground.

We cut some seeds a couple of weeks ago and they all had spoons.  We'll see what the weather brings.

I think the deer were smarter than us this weekend...we were out on the stands in cool temps with lots of wind and rain off and on...the deer stayed home in bed. If they came in for candy, they did so in the middle of the night.

Come get all the persimmons you want fellers...I don't think I could count how many this tree has on it.

Never heard of the seed tale before, I'll check on that one evening.

[Charlie Lamb]

Stick with it buddy!! You'll get him.

I'm a big persimmon fan myself. Like to spend time under a good tree "grazing" a little at mid day.

I've got a good one just 70 yards from the house that I'll be feeding under soon. Will need to go nocturnal as it's in the neighbor's yard.
