I remember as a kid we would occasionally eat persimmons. You had to wait for a couple of good frosts and if not they would pucker you up like nobody's business. The raccoons loved them also .Thanks for the video.
awesome video as usual. you have always been very good about sharing knowledge of the woods/swamps and game. most of it is both hard won by you and others that showed you because of their hard won experiences. the object is to be aware of what is going on in the woods and what is not. then to learn and understand the why's and how comes that cause it. then we learn why and when to look for specific things and then hopefully how to take advantage of them. just like stopping to listen to what the Holy Spirit is telling us and then obeying. God gave us a very good brain to work with if we will just learn to use it correctly and to truly open our eyes to what He has lain out before us. reading the woods is not just seeing the obvious but the subtle things as well. thanks Brother, enjoyed it again
“At the end of a slough with any length and depth to it, is a funnel.” One of the most simple and overlooked things I’ve ever heard. Makes me feel dumb for never recognizing it. But now that I look back on funnels I’ve found. There’s a few at the end of long sloughs… keep it stupid simple! Thanks for all the great videos
I used to live in wilsonville al where there was a persimmon tree that had fruit at big as a golf ball. I think it was an Asian persimmon or something like that. Anyway, I picked them up by the gallon bags full and took the hunting club. Got more buck picks on those persimmons than ever anything else. I agree that it is definitely a deer 🦌 magnet tree.
Im from way up north ...indiana, but persimmons are on my list of things to plant on my own land. Theres some northern varieties available that as you say, are supposed to be a deer magnet when they're dropping. You posess one thing most hunters have lost now adays, woodsmanship, and a ton of it
Outstanding video
Great information brother. Great video. God bless

That is a great tip! We don’t have persimmon trees up here, but we have sloughs!👍
Love those trees. I’ve got 4 small ones planted in the yard.
Thank you for the lesson. This is a good time for me to learn the trees. God bless
Good tips!

Always told growing up that it’s “Swamp Candy”
Makes good jelly. I doubt any young folks would know about that.lol
Great video, are mosquitos bad there in the swamp? I’ve hunted persimmons for years, I’ve never seen one in the bottoms.
Skeeters are bad but the thermacel turns them.
