I love autumn. Those first few mornings where the air is super-crisp and clean but you can't quite see your breath, that one maple that goes to crimson a week ahead of anything else on the hill, the squirrels all over the place chittering and putting away food, and then ... deer season.

Spring is my choice; soft greens, budding flowers, fresh scents - the beginning of life... fall is my second choice.

After the spring flood and record setting heat all summer, I'm with you Ernie! Summer used to be my favorite season. But I just can't take the heat and humidity any more. I think I might be getting old.

I love the fall. always have. Didn't care that school started but Quail & Dove season was just around the corner. Deer season followed that & duck season after that. Now I look back at my childhood, growing up with my Remington S.S. .22 & my Stevens 16 guage I thought I was king of the hill. I remember going hunting with 4 .22 LR shells during WW2. Shells were rationed the same as gasoline. Later on hunting out of state for deer & elk in the fall. Great times & great guys to hunt with. I was the dog in those day, beating the brush. Now I'm the old guy that takes the stand. Fall? Hell, there's no better time of year.

Fall is for sure the best time of year. Warm and sunny in the daytime, cool-cold at night. The bad news is, around here (western Oregon) it only seems to last about a week or two. Then it's....rain.....rain......rain, and more RAIN!

Spring and summer
Howdy,
Spring is neat and brings anticipation of summer. Summer is my favorite.
Fall is OK, but reminds me winter is just around the corner.
If I could get the wife to go I'd move south.
I'd take 100 degrees over 50 anytime.
Thanks
Mike

Fall is Best
No more high humidity---no more mowing grass twice a week--no more 90 degrees with 75% -90% humidity and dew points in the 80's and no more out of site electric bills for air conditioning.
Hunting is just around the corner--getting ready for deer, pheasant, chukar, grouse and quail and the best fall fishing for walleye's. I just doesn't get any better.
Now for the first hard frost and most of the bugs will be gone. I absolutely love it--my wife becomes a hunting widow from Nov. till the end of March.
I can take -40 below but anything around 90 degrees and I'm a house rat--can't take the heat at all.

You guys enjoy it while you can.It sure is pretty.
I'll be planting tomatoes and flowers that you guys plant in the spring.
The next six months are my favorite and why people used to move here.

The photo I posted was made in late October a couple of years ago. It will look like that in about six weeks, and stay that way for 10 or 15 days into November depending on the weather. If you come up this way then, be sure to stop at Tuggles Gap Restaurant, and ask for a slice of the homemade Tuggles Gap (or Boston Creme) pie, and tell the owner, Sheri, that I sent ya! Hell, let me know your coming, and dessert is on me!
Oh, if you ever wondered where apple butter really comes from. . .

I would be the first to admit that I am a serious hunter. Nothing compares to spending time in the open air during the Fall and Winter. It’s a time to marvel at the wonders of nature while doing what I love to do. This is when I stock the freezers for the year ahead with fowl, turkey, deer and more. To be honest, I haven’t eaten store bought meat in decades. Nothing compares to the taste of correctly prepared wild game. No chemicals or hormones either. For those of you who have never had the pleasure, no pork ever tasted better than a pit roasted wild hog.

There are only two seasons. Hunting season and non-hunting season.

Except for the acres of yard that I have to keep maintained.. meaning leaf free... I'm a huge fall of autumn as well. I love being able to put on a jacket and wander through the woods for a few hours.
Also... jacket weather means larger revolvers in shoulder holster time.
