THIS YEAR HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HOT AND DRY. FOR MANY AREAS IN THE RED RIVER VALLEY THIS YEAR WILL GO ON RECORD AS THE HOTTEST YEAR IN RECORDED HISTORY WITH OVER 60 DAYS OF 100+ DEGREE TEMPERATURES. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR YOU AS A HUNTER?YOUR GREAT HUNTING SPOTS MAY NOT BE SO GRAND THIS YEAR. LOOK FOR TREES AROUND PONDS, LAKES, CREEKS OR SPRINGS THAT HAVE ACORNS.EVEN THOUGH A CREEK OR POND MAY BE DRY NOW, ODDS ARE THAT IT HAD WATER WELL INTO THIS DROUGHT. IF YOU FIND AN AREA WITH ACORNS, THINK ABOUT SETTING UP A NEW STAND TO PATTERN THE DEER WHEN THE ACORNS START TO FALL.
