Posted By: 14ducks Web Member central 08-20-2012 21:44 – – – Completed some dove scouting today. This is the worst drought I have ever seen in my 62 years of scouting. There is zero water in creeks and ponds and potholes. Zero. Flow in Skunk and Iowa rivers is near zero. No flooding of places like Otter creek can take place with that low of flow. And from the drought maps south of Iowa it is worse. It would take weeks of rain to get anything built up. If you got water be really thankful. Any public area with water will be inundated with hunters. Like I said earlier, this is the year to take that trip to Canada and save the money you would spend hunting in Iowa Maybe I could lease a sewage treatment pond. What bad luck. We have a great hatch up north and no water… Continue reading
