Looks like we're getting more at the week.
Not looking to be a stellar year for turkey nesting, either. I believe I have a hen or two that are at least laying if not setting.

3rs year in a row my lane hasn’t flooded on the white river but a week or two after season it’s been 4-8 ft underwater and covered in ducks . Fun
Well he f'd up in Nashville.

Yes it look is like another wet yet. But, that is a curse and a blessing. The reason we have these places to hunt is 1. The areas were too wet to cut down the timber for ag fields many years ago. 2. Men in the 40s and beyond understood the importance of these areas and acquired the lands in wmas and nwrs to keep them in timber. Mother Nature is a tough old lady.

Agree completely, only difference is back then we weren’t trying to drain a swimming pool (gtr’s) through a straw (water control structures and pipes currently in place). Water could come and go at a much easier pace.

I wouldn’t agree with that. God gives us free will.

I agree one hundred percent. My remark was aimed to what Ange said. God is in control.

High water is nothing new to these areas with or with out levees and water structures. Thining the timber will help the stands in the long run. The high grading of the timber many years ago is what we are dealing with now. In the last 12-13 years, water would be on the trees I the spring with it with levees. Mother Nature always heals its self.
Bayou meto is still flooded…..
