Of all the mammals I am aware of in the Ozarks, and birds too for that matter, the squirrel is the only one I know of that both hibernates and migrates.

I point this out because this is the time of year that bass fishing can be very good if you have a bucket of crawdads and a gentle wind.

Rufous said the worst time to be in the woods in Arkansas, if you were worried about timber rattlers, was September and October.
