I've been hearing that this drought is very likely to last all the way up to 6 years? Ive scouted and scouted, and have yet to find any huntable water. All of our ponds, lakes, sloughs, everything. It's all dry. This is about downright sad, has anyone else Hurd anything about how long this drought is expected to last?

I think it's going to last until it rains alot over there. I'm no meteorologist so I could be wrong.

I'm gonna have to agree with your hypothesis dw.

I always say that I will be a weatherman in my next lifetime. Only job where you can be wrong all the time and stay employed.

Well dont feel like the Lone Ranger. Went to check out my lake holes today. Had to walk in a good ways. Have always had about 12-18" of water at least in the holes.











The blind would be looking good with all that grass in I could get some water.



The rest of the lake pretty much looks like this. Salvynia so thick you can almost walk on it.

Never remember "the worlds ending" hahaha

Blaine- that guy was a trip

Poker - yeah it's horrible. Hopefully the farmers almanac is right, and the old saying "dry summer wet winter" is correct. But I see the chances of that being very unlikely.

I think the chances are just fine. 50-50. It will rain, or it won't. Pretty good odds to me.

Looks like cotton growing in your pictures. If so, where is da N1ggers at?

All the old timers around here keep sayin "you know what breaks a drought? a flood!"

Its probably not gonna get better any time soon. The south is in for a dry, warmer than average winter with La Nina

I hate that yall are in such a drought, but look at it this way...If you do find some water, you will burnem everytime.

If we ever do get water again ducks will be everywhere due to all the grass and vegetation that's grown on the banks they'll have a tpm of food

Just got off the phone with a fellow lease member bow hunting our place in Ballinger, found five dead deer so far.....

Well, this year I have some really big 5 man deer stands...

It looks like on the radar, TX is about to get hammered. We have over 9 inces right now at the house in FL, and it is still raining. Houston looks to be getting hammered right now....

If your area is completely dry this year and next, u will be lucky to ever kill ducks there again. U will lose a large number of migrating ducks just from this year. They go to the same places every year. Young ducks follow older ducks to the over wintering grounds. Every duck u would expect will go somewhere else and make that their new winter spot. Very few will return next year.
I have experienced this first hand. Our duck lease is in the best shape it has ever been in and we don't have ducks anymore. They r killed all around us, but a few years of solid lillies moved the ducks and now all we have is a pretty marsh.

boy we got hammered in the great rain event,willin to bet we got under .10 n
of an inch!!!!!!!!!!!

Ended up w/ 1.9" for last 2 days. Beats what we been getting.

We've had a slight drizzle on and off since early this afternoon. We need about 3 weeks of straight rain go fill up the lakes and ponds down here tho

I understand brother. We still have cracks n the ground that will turn ur ankle after almost 2".
