Good evening! Cloudy and 47 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a northeast breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Wednesday around 4 am. ☃️
Kind of a quiet day, stayed home did some map work 🌎 and then went for a walk this evening in the Pine Bush. I saw a lot of wildlife including a buck, doe, fawn, goose, red bellied woodpecker, cat bird and a goose. I was surprised to see a goose there I thought they preferred to be by water. Walked a while after dark then came home.
Kind of a cold and gray day but it was nice to get away for a bit and hike somewhere alone 👤 were there was a ton of wildlife. Pine Bush off hour can be a great place to explore except for the highway noise. 🐝

Kind of a bummer that the weather doesn’t look really good for tomorrow 😔 but the forecast looks good for mid week and the weekend might turn out quite nice. But still few signs of things greening up in Schoharie County, they actually got snow there over the weekend although it’s mostly gone at this point.

I think a lot of people worry about getting shot in the woods in October or November although I think that fear is overblown and you shouldn’t be afraid of the woods or hunters out there just trying to harvest their deer. Give them their due so you don’t spook their deer or turkey but don’t be afraid.
But wearing blaze orange is a good idea even if your boy hunting. I can tell you when I’m hunting blaze orange sticks out well to the human eye even if it is largely invisible to other animals falling in the same desaturated color of the sky. Getting shot is bad enough with bones and muscles broken but a lifetime of lead poisoning can be pretty horrifying.
Blaze orange is also safer to wear while walking along a road or highway making yourself much more visible to passing cars and other vehicles. If you fall or are injured, wearing blaze orange also makes it easier for emergency help to find and rescue you.
There are so many options for bright colored blaze orange closes. Unless you are in a stand turkey hunting, or maybe bow hunting, I suggest you wear blaze orange.
