Wow! Six weeks left....

[ChrisinMO]

I've been awfully busy this summer. Hot, too. I was drinking a cup of coffee this morning and it dawned on me that there were no more than six more weeks of hot weather here in southern Missouri. I just love fall around here....

I guess I'll be counting the days.

I wouldn't bet on that. I got to Fort Leonard Wood on Sept. 21, 1970, and it was hot clear up until Thanksgiving.

I was in Infantry AIT at Fort Lewis, Washington at the same time, Tom- recollect it was pretty hot then, too. Then turned rainy in October, and I wished for the hot again.

40 years ago- where did the time go?

 

[old]

do you really believe that???? When was the last time you sat in a deer stand in Oct and had seat running down your face and ticks chewing you to death??? Ya right 6 weeks maybe we will have a frost this year by Dec 1st is lucky. :LOL Or we will have a bad frost in Sept and then hot weather. Haven't you learned yet to live in Misery is like living in he double hockey sticks LOL

I left FLW in June and went to FT Lewis 3 weeks later. Like stepping into an air conditioned house. Couple weeks later it got real dry but when it started raining instead of snowing, I missed FLW.

I did about the same thing, only it was March 64. Staill real cold, and snow. I never saw clothes freeze on a clothes line. My recurter gave me a choice Great Lakes, or San Diego. Living near SD I picked Great Lakes. Big mistake. Stan

The term "Unrealistic optimism" comes to mind ....

And I was doing my basic and infantry AIT at Fort Puke, LA at the same time. Hot, muggy, and miserable. Didn't know which was worse, being soaked from sweating under a poncho or being soaked from a pouring rain. After Christmas leave, I went to jump school where it was dryer but colder.

If the ticks are chewying on you just think of all the bugs that deer has on it you are trying to shoot . If it is that hot the flies will be blowing it in a short time , the meat will spoil in a hurry .

I spent Sept. and Oct. 1961 at Ft. Leonard Wood
Beautiful weather, beautiful autom folliage in
the Ozarks. Ripe wild persimmins in the woods
As soon as my,(much younger) wife retires I
want to visit the Ozarks again in Autom.

Christopher where do you live I'm in Springfield?
I have worked the Ozarks Fall Farmfest for 20 years which is always the first week in October I have seen it in the 90's and I have seen it snow at that event, good ole southwest Missouri.

Cut into quarters and put in the refrigerator to cool ASAP is standard procedure for me. No bow hunting, if I have to wait to track the animal I figure it won't be in any condition to consume by the time I get it quartered and cooling. Rifle season usually isn't much better temperature wise, but at least I don't have to wait to retreive the deer. I suspect the reason many people don't like deer is because of the lack of swift dressing of the carcass.
