124 DAYS AND COUNTING
Refuge sure needs some rain.
Accuweather is reporting for Austwell TX only 6" of rain from Nov 2011 until 29 May 2011, Feb-May 2011 shows only 2".
With the summer heat starting I think the water situation on the refuge is to the critical stage especially when you factor in high wind warnings like they have this weekend, 42mph with 0% chance of rain. The drought doesn't need to end the week before the hunt with 15" of rain, it needs relief now!
Pray for rain.
