Thanks Wayne, I was about to give up on the pond, but that little pond has big bass and I'm sure this rain has made them happier than living in a mud puddle. In the morning I'll put 700 yards of hose away! Elkie ran a blood track this morning and had difficulty because it was so dry. This rain is also a God send to tracking!Glad to hear you believe the pond will look great Brush. I think hard work and efforts are rewarded - it just took way too long for the Brushpile to be rewarded. May the hunting gods shine on you and Elkie.
Thank you TexOk! My drought started in 2010, when everyone around here got rain but me. I think Okie is in the same situation, with everyone getting rain but him, which is very frustrating. I could smell rain and hear thunder but it wouldn't rain. I'm watching the weather and hope Okie got some rain today. I got dumped on, and one rain doesn't end a drought, but this rain will carry me into the dormant season.
I got 3 1/4 inches, which still did not fill the pond because it was soo dry that the soil absorbed the first 2 inches, although the river is up but not flooded. This is what whose AC needed if there's going to be nuts. The AC are 10+ feet high and have a massive root system, so watering them with a hose wasn't as effective as I'd hoped, but I'm almost certain that there will be a few nuts.
We leave in the morning. Thanks Wayne.
