Wynne got 6 inches of rain . Everything is flooded. River will crest about Friday . Timber is already flooded with a lot more to come. Actually saw people working on a pit in a bean field out of boat.
Sure would have been nice to have got all this rain about 10 days ago before we spent a couple of thousand pumping .
We have several fields that four wheelers are a bad option right now.
Still not seeing many birds . We are holding a few around Hickory Ridge but sure would like to see more in the area. I’m still hearing that Monroe county is just covered up . WWW.CypressSlewRetrievers.com

Today I drove to Newport for a meeting and went 167 there is now some standing water north of I-40. Were 167 crosses the White River in that area it is about ½ flooded needs more rain, but it now can hold ducks. My experience you need water to hold ducks, now I did not see any ducks or geese from the highway. My home is in Sherwood and we got somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 inches by my rain gauge. This should really help in putting water into Bayou Meto or a good start, made a tour around the Bayou Meto area Tuesday and only saw a very few ducks and a small amount of Snows and Blues.

Hey Mark, last Friday there were a ton of ducks on Ashbaugh. The whole center part was filled. The rain will be good for the woods but as much as we are getting i expect the birds will be really spread out.

I went to Crawfordsville yesterday and bought a pup from Mike McFerrin. Do not know how the dog will turn out. I was impressed on how clean the kennels were and the dogs seemed to be happy. Enjoyed meeting Mike and his wife. My wife Renee got me the dog for my birthday. At just over 6 weeks, Renee has the pup bringing her back a toy when she throws in front of him and when she calls him he appears to come to her.

There are some ducks concentrated on reservoir’s in the area and should be a pretty good opener if you have water! A couple big rains could really help. Mostly small ducks for now but can’t be picky this time of year

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 50-60 Degrees
Seen two fields yesterday in the Egypt area that were absolutely slapped full of ducks and specks. Bet there were 75-100,000 ducks in the fields, with a mix of big and little ducks. Got my blood pumping big time. Ready to kick off this season.
