I pruned up some apple trees the last few off-seasons in hope I'd get some old abandoned farm orchards back into production. Unfortunately, we had a terrible drought this summer, so all those spots are basically dead, as there are no apples.
As for my spots in town, they're both weak. One has a spike, and a six and a four that stop by every few days. The other, where I shot a nice 11 a few years back and a decent 8 last year, has ... nothing but does and a spike. I'm hoping that with gun season opening up here in NB next week, some big boys will get pushed around. Very rare for me to not see a decent buck in my old faithful town spot.
