I was in Jersey City a few weeks ago to see the new grand-baby; man it was hot. Meant to go over to Cameraland in mid-town Manhattan to look at scopes, but the thought of hot subways and streets took the wind out of my sails. Only saw one roadkilled groundhog during the trip over and back.Steve3 said:Bangs,
Many thanks. It has been very hot this summer in NJ and it make sense, they are staying low.
I will keep scouting the alfalfa but beans will be coming in mid Sept and I will be on those fields as well.
I must admit, scouting is a big part of my hunting. It is very important to me to know the culture of what I hunt.
Best.

Also, I've noticed over the years that there seems to be a "dead" time in Aug. to mid-Sept. when 'hogs aren't out much. Could be they're weary of the heat, or resting up for the big feed before winter. Boy, do I love that target-rich time just after the soybeans are off and before the cold sets in.![]()
