                Yep ,gonna kill the hunting again if so. Lots of places already low on water, LCRA not selling duck water Etc. Birds are gonna get pounded & move on because of pressure. Hope it doesn't happen ,but setting up like last season & it was beyond bad in most areas, but I'll be out there enjoying the outdoors.

                    I was low in water last year, this year we are bone dry in alot of places.... it may be a very tough season if we don't get some significant rain.

                      Saw a couple groups yesterday On my farm in some flooded second crop rice. Not a great picture of one group but you get the point. Won’t be long now.

                        Unless something changes, seems like there is going to be a lot less water on public this year. Sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes it's not. All depends on where you hunt I suppose.

                          If it keeps going like it has been I won't have much water to hunt and I don't think any ducks are gonna come into my spread on a dry tank. Hopefully we get some substantial rain before season and some good cold fronts during it

                            Looking forward to it. My son will be 4 this year and we've got some cupcake places to take him. His little Boykin is coming along well enough we may be able to take her along too so they'll both enjoy a first hunt together

                                Well yall coastal boys should have so.e good BWT and redhead numbers.

                                Everything else looks pretty bleak, especially coupled with the predicted La Nina weather patterns this winter.
