redkneck Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Years ago we'd have fields planted by the first week of Sep. Then over the last decade our falls have gotten dryer and dryer and we slowly migrated to now where we plant about the first of Oct. If this rain don't stop we won't get anything done. I've never seen rain like this this time of year without a trop storm or hurricaine. Very strange indeed. I'm kicking myself for not having a bow plot cut up.

Randy Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) I sure wish you would send some up this way, it's dryer up here than a popcorn fart! Edited September 17, 2009 by Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 We have had droughts here the past couple summers, figured building a house this time of the year would not run into issues with rain, were we ever wrong. Our contractor is stuck again, have our basement walls poured and way too wet to even think about getting trucks in to pour the slab. Have had flash flood watches here since Tuesday. Huge mess.

stevebeilgard Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 we haven't had rain since june (other than a light sprinkle) things are tough out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I don't think we've had ran for almost 3 weeks now. Definately not a good thing, but it may mean the deer are hitting the acorns harder up hear. Which is good for us since our property doesn't have food plots, but tons of acorns.

Hunt or be Hunted Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 man its been hitting us hard too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I know how you feel John. A few years ago we had to replant everything thanks to an October drought. Now we can't even disc our plots. Looks like this rain will hang in there with us until Tuesday according to this morning's forecast but they've been pushing back the end of the monsoon every day this week.

Looks like this rain will hang in there with us until Tuesday according to this morning's forecast but they've been pushing back the end of the monsoon every day this week. Yep, we've replanted a few times over the years. Tough getting grass up only to see it wither and die. So we started planting later and later, which works well, just no greenery for the opening of bow season and this year the acorn crop on our lease is junk. I've got a few white oaks around home (30 miles south of there) that are loaded, but not at the camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layin on the smackdown Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I sure wish you would send some up this way, it's dryer up here than a popcorn fart! Yep..and i love that saying Randy!!! I don't know how far up in WI you are, but here in Northern IL we haven't had rain for almost a month now...my yard is turning all kinds of brown...we could use a little here ourselves... as for you Johnboy, that rain won't help the mosquito situation...better invest in a thermocell if you haven't already.

Don't leave home without it! We got all kinds here, ones that thrive in drought and ones that thrive in water, so we're covered.....literally.

Earlier in the week they were calling for rain to end here yesterday, forecast was changed Wednesday saying rain to end Tuesday, now they are calling for it to end next Saturday for a day and then start back up again. Rain chances here are 60% the next 3 days, then to 40 percent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
