About 30 and I would prefer 50.

First chestnuts of 2025 falling today. This should continue into early November and deer will eat every one that hits the ground.

I have wild ones too, and those you see are inside a fenced area. They are tame berries.

Mine are slow too. Those are from a rootstock that survived after the grafted part died. It’s a big tree now and in a good sunny location.

Beautiful chocolate racked 10 point 3 YO passing through at 27 yds

I’ve picked probably 30 gallons of Kieffers this year - giving away to friends and family. Hornets are really bad this year. PS - I was unloading an overloaded tree the other day and threw 50 pears in front of a trail cam. The next day there ere 5 pears left. Upon checking the card, I found...

And 30 acres of dried soybean pods. :)

Yesterday afternoon - big 10 at 31 yards

Yes, at this point in time I am holding out for the freak deer. Last time he showed was before dark on Saturday evening, but I couldn’t be here. I also have to take this evening off, which is probably when he will show back up.

Wild afternoon. I set paralyzed for a while. Had both deer in the pic below and 2 more smaller 10 points. The wide deer had stuff hanging and worked over a bush before he left. I will pull cards tomorrow morning. I should have them on cam.

This is the 10 point I was calling a 170. Looks more like 165 now that he has shed. I let him walk at 31 yards. My heart is set on getting the freak.

He's a dandy Ben!

Bach Group #2 in staging area waiting for dark to eat in soybean field.

Both the European hornet and the bald-faced hornet

Picked a few Olympic Giants because hornets were starting on them. I like them better picked a little early. They aren’t mushy that way, but still sweet.
