Rain here in East Tx

[RB II]

We have had almost 30" of rain in the last 20 or so days. Needless to say it is wet here. Pics from my place in the river bottom. The feeder is on 10' sticks of conduit.
So my rifle range is closed until further notice!!!

Wow! Glad your high and dry

 

[RB II]

Thanks. That feeder is about 175 yds from my shooting "shed" and has a hog light on a huge white oak tree to the right.

Spend lots of evenings there having an adult beverage or two while waiting on a hog to come to the feeder or the big white oak acorns.

Ready for the water to go away so I can resume those evenings.

I guess you can do some fishing instead??

Looks like it's time to go after the whisker fish.
Load the feeder up with corn and feed them so you can catch some

If from SE TX, maybe gators will make it up your way. Catch and release them in the Rio Grande.

I have a bucket of flag lines, but no boat here to put them out. I am not going to wade in that flood water, unless I am swimming for my life!!!

Been hunting and fishing on this river all my life. I know where there are several gator holes. The only problem is the gators are totally uncooperative for relocation!!! LOL

We used to wade out to about waist deep and drive t-posts in and string a trot line.

That's a lot of rain……but not quite what Louisiana and West Mississippi saw in 2016 (I think). ….30+ inches in a couple of days.

I have a video of my grandkids getting in a boat headed out for high ground, while leaving their parents at the house watching the water rise!

Parts of Louisiana had some serious flooding! memtb

Well you could take up skeeter shooting. Bet they're the size of grackles by now. Might be kinda sporty like.

No, South of Hwy 21/Crockett and North of Hwy 19/Riverside.

That is certainly an option……but stuck between which rifles/loads to use. 22-250 and 68 gr varmint or 6 CM and 87 V-Max!!!
I do have a 28N and 300 PRC if they get too big/bad!!!
