Hog plum
Yep, hog plum or American plum, likely. Could be Chickasaws but Chickasaw plums are usually bright red when they're ripe. Plums just naturally don't fruit heavily every year, in my experience.

we have a lot of Chikasaw plums where I hunt - I think they get ripe around late June but I could be mistaken. They taste great though! Would be a good deer food source for hunting but the plums are long gone by September.

They are early this year, because of early warm weather. I think those are Chickasaw’s, they are typically larger & earlier than the American plum. I saw a bush this week that was fairly loaded with ripening plums. They call them “hog plums” for a reason; anybody with a patch & a hankering to get some pork would do well to sit there an afternoon or 2...
Look for crabapples in late Aug to early Sept.
