You and me both brother on the rain hitting us... I have been watching the radar and it looks like the storm is weakening by the mile as it moves NE but maybe we will get a shower out of it. It looks like the storm track should put it right through your area as you are west of us and might brush us to the east of you hopefully.
Our "Home 10" is between Fort Gibson and Tahlequah in a community called "Woodall". Driving the highway from Tahlequah to Muskogee it starts off nice and green but when you get near Woodall you notice all the pasture is dead and the ponds are dried up and then once you get past that area it starts greening up again. Home 10 sits right in the middle of that dead zone and got no rain at all out of that front yesterday. Since 8/21 we have had 2 showers there with .16" both times and they were about 10 days apart. FWIW according to farmlogs we have had 23.02" on the Home 10 and 31.42" on the hollow since January 1st. Home 10 has a very sandy type soil that doesn't hold moisture at all as far as I can tell...
Here on the Hollow we are sitting pretty fair right now having had a 1.57" rain last Friday night and then a .06" shower on the 14th and then the .41" rain yesterday. I got the plots planted up here on the 3rd and 4th of September and then I overseeded some more wheat and clover the day before we got the 1.57" rain to help make up for what the crows and turkeys scratched up in the days before...
I haven't looked at it since last Saturday and hope to have some good germination when I look at it tomorrow.
It looks like Kansas and Missouri are getting a bunch of rain right now! You guys should have an amazing antler year this fall and next fall as well!
If our timber floods where we are you had better have an Ark at the ready or it's already too late!
Well the rain completely dissipated before it even got to Muskogee so we are out again

Amazing! Your place is cursed (except for the giant bucks that show up for season thing).

I was really hoping for that rain that came up from Texas to do what the weather lady said but I guess not to be and 90's back on the way for next week. I guess we need to really get dried out even more for some reason
I have been watching Fair Grove as well and noticed you are at the edge of that band of storms that keeps popping up like is happening all across Kansas right now. It looks like Kansas is just absolutely getting pummeled! I figure that will spread across Missouri as well. It is staying at the border of Oklahoma and Kansas and above...

It petered out and passed over us then fired back up around Grand lake...aggravating!Well the rain completely dissipated before it even got to Muskogee so we are out again
Very aggravating but on the bright side it looks like Brushpile up near Fair Grove, Mo (slightly NE of Springfield) is getting hammered...

Pouring outside, I dumped 2.75 out of the rain gauge so it wouldn't overflow. I definitely will not be hunting this evening. I know what you're going through, and wish you'd get some rain. This exact same thing happened to me in 2010. 2010 was not a drought year except for a small area around my place.
I was going to say if you didn't have rain in your gauge today it's because you have it in the house stuck in a closet somewhere!
Congrats on the rain!
Since it's really dry and sunny right now I should get some good brushhogging in tonight on the property that has somehow gotten hit by most every shower that has came through the area this summer. Bermuda and Fescue is super thick on this property...too bad it's not our property

Down our way it is TOUGH to bush hog ragged fescue and old Bermuda this time of the year. Keep those blades sharp!
Well, I got an hour in on the hog before it poured on me so I had to quit a little early. I have about 3 hours left on the Property and then I move to another property that will take me about 8 hours and then I only have a small 2 hour place after that and I think I am done for the season. I need to sharpen blades when I pull off the rock pile I am neighboring now so the next 2 are real clean...
We were blessed with a little rain on the tail end of the huge front Kansas and Missouri got and ended up at 1.22" here on Whitetail Hollow. Our "Home 10" property that is in the drought zone again got nothing...
Really odd because the hollow is north and the lease is south of home 10 and all in the same county but now both places are about 10" up on rainfall over home 10.
Home 10 is where most all of our tree plantings are and where the plots are I put in the 21st of August that got just enough rain to germinate but not enough to keep them alive in the heat...
