Fall is the greatest time of the year, temps moderate, bugs decrease, days are
still relatively long.
Buster and I went out yesterday before the storm to scout goose hunting spots.
I've got one more week of furlough and it coincides with the first week of
goose season. My intention is to hunt every day, the only thing that will stop
me is terrible weather. I'll hunt in mild rain but if its pouring that's no
fun. Fortunately not common in the fall here.
We found a terrific spot, beaver pond next to a fairly recent cut forest. Lots
of lilly pads, shallow with good feed for geese. They cut near the edge of the
pond but the bushes have grown so theres a good place to hide.

I would agree, at least given the choice I would prefer to have four seasons.
Down here from maybe October to March it’s in the 70s all day log with low
humidity, absolutely wonderful weather. While the heat and humidity suck, the
rest of the year makes up for it. Think early fall or late spring weather for
3-5 months.
