Green Up

[DeerWhisperer]

Just noticing on the drive in to work today, it looks like we have seen a big boost in the green-up this week. It literally looks like the trees have put on a full canopy of leaves the past 3 days. Many fields are already ahead of what we had last year.

Its nice to see but it seems we are ahead of last year. I will make the transition to the woods earlier this year.

Most definitely! From Sunday till this morning is a night n day difference.
Wheat has exploded too. Some of these fields up on TN/KY border are almost waist high. Hopefully the harvest isn't expedited, I'd love to see some hens/poults take advantage of it.
Same thing with our woods here. Fingers crossed we have an excellent hatch and above average poult recruitment. We sure could use it.

75-85° and sunny will put the foliage on in a hurry. SW TN is very close to full summer foliage in a lot of places.

These little dry spells seem to really kick it off, too.

yeah its unfortunate for me. with the later season and earlier spring 2 of my spots I normally hunt hard early season are almost useless now. Between the field wheat being tall now and the forest ground now green and tall it just eliminates those from options which is sad for me personally. they are always my favorite places to hunt each year.

Plenty of rain and good timing on warm weather. I'm going to enjoy the green up and hunting. Easier to get in the shade and hide but harder to see and hear. I've got a whole mountain side to run free on COME ON SATURDAY!!!

Plenty green here in Clay county!!

I actually like it when there's more green out. Easier to move when needed.

Was thinking of this just yesterday…definite tradeoffs.

Me too. Plus the birds are more spread out it seems to me, instead of being in one field. Right now my neighbors field has 7 gobblers and 20-30 hens in it, and they stay basically all day there.

Boss gobbler(s) needs to get busy. We want poults in out years.

Maaaybe I'd be willing to trespass to get him, but you can take your bro country and shove it and your fan where the sun don't shine pal!

Seen a bunch in the field up by Pilot at exit 86, I don't hunt them but someone with KY tags should look into that area about permission, see them suckers all the time.

Cool nights and warm days has everything going crazy the last few days..

I think I know what flock you're talking about. I watch them all year, driving back n forth to Hopkinsville.

It used to be a whole lot more than that. I remember seeing them on all sides of that Pilot a few years back. Interstate side, Ft Campbell Blvd side, etc.

I'm more excited than Richard Simmons with a wheel barrow full of buttholes.

Yeah man, these fields next to and beside my house are growing fast. Haven't really had a chance to put boots on the ground where I hunt the past few weeks due to the Easter holiday and some personal stuff with our animals. My house backs up to Spring creek right there on Trenton and it is summertime foliage back there right now.
