Fall is in the Air

Fall is in the air in North Alabama. Everyone that has lived in North Alabama knows that 90 degree weather is still in our future but a cold front has come through and the chill of fall is in the air.

The cooler weather has many people thinking of hunting season but some good fishing is also right around the corner. For those of us who enjoy fishing and hunting this is a great time of year. The only challenge is finding time to fish while making preparations for hunting season which is right around the corner.

This is a great time to do a little scouting for the upcoming deer season and to make sure stands are in good condition and are safe for the hunting season. Make sure to check the chains and ropes that hold the stands to the trees and make sure the storms have not caused damage. Nothing can ruin a hunting trip like finding out that your favorite stand is not in good enough shape to have a safe outing.

Roads and trails may also have to been prepared so that you can easily access your favorite hunting spots. This is also a good time to make sure shooting allies are clear and ready. It would be a shame to miss that big buck because a bush or limb is in the line of sight.

Have a great hunting season, but don't forget the fishing will be biting soon!
