It's going to be a rough winter. You can tell because there are a lot of acorns. I also saw that the muskrats were digging their holes high up on the river bank, which is another tell that it's going to snow like crazy.
I don't mind winter. It's quiet and white. Snow in the woods is like putting a clean blanket on everything, and prey is easier to locate in the snow.
We should probably make a list of the weak and sickly to consume in the event that we run out of food.
