Muscadine or persimmon

Persimmons will still be around after the grapes are gone but I would have a hard time not hunting the persimmons if they are ripe and dropping. Hunt them both, grapes in the morning and persimmons in the evening.

Or find a persimmon tree with a muscadine vine in it.

Mike gave you the answer right there IMHO. That's what I would go with as well. I wouldn't hunt either in the morning unless you can get close undetected. But what do I know.....?

will persimmons even be ripe anytime soon? Don't they ripen around November or so?

I believe it depends on what part of the state they are in. I know in Warren Co. (East) where I hunted for 13 years the prime time for hunting persimmons was mid to late October. It only takes a few ripe ones dropping to bring in the critters. :)

Muscadine are still dropping but at the end here at the house in middle Georgia. A lot of persimmons are still green but some trees are dropping ripe persimmons. Hunt the wind and the hottest sign. I prefer a dropping persimmon
