It may be a week or two early.
I've learned over the years, as I try and age gracefully- that these kinds things sneak up on me more often.
Nearly every year, I find myself thinking the same thing you posted, 'Isn't is early for them to be cutting?"

Nothing like hunting squirrels with a good .22 to train you on rifle work!

They've been cutting pecans for a couple weeks here. Need to get busy and finish the refresh of an inherited Mossberg 46B(b). Reblue, strip and refinish the stock. With a cheap Tasco scope (Walmart, $7 several years ago) it is a tack driver. Not bad for a .22 made from 1947-1949. I could use my Glenfield M20 if push comes to shove, but the scope is on "her" Henry youth model lever action.
I've seen a few cutting pine cones over the last week. Same trees that I've seen the earliest cuttings over the last few years. 22 days and it will be time to chase them for another season. Fun times!

Never tried squirrel hunting, but need to thin them out here, they are out of control. Hickory nuts all over around my shed, many chewed on.
They got into my open shed and chewed ends off some sets of antlers.

I usually wait until after an October cold front. Most people would be hunting deer, but I'll manage a couple of mornings or afternoon hunts for bushytails.
It opens in 2 weeks from tomorrow here. Always looks forward to it.

Squirrels are cutting the heck out of hickories right now! I sat on the deck this evening and saw 4-5 in one tree. Sounded like it was raining with all the cuttings falling through the leaves.

I remember years ago on opening morning I killed a limit from one single Hickory tree. I usually shoot the 22 short hollow points. They're not loud enough to alert the others, with all the cutting going on, they were none the wiser.
Great times.

Acorns are done hitting the ground in Greene county. And trees are full. Early fall is going to happen it seems. Not soon enough for me.

I hope squirrels see in black and white, I got a very nice upland vest for hunting and I assume they would notice movement regardless of the color. Figured I needed a orange vest with game pockets though for when deer season starts and I'm out hunting squirrels. Idk if i'll even get to get a deer this year with no high caliber rifle or anybody to hunt with to show me how its done.

Nice vest, but I wouldn't wear it for squirrel hunting…they seem like they can see bright colors to me…
