Drought

[lickmyvowels]

[quote="lickmyvowels"]If you build a blind that's above ground you need natural vegetation to partially conceal the blind. It may be a a few blades of grass but there needs to be something growing there.

Please cite your sources. I don’t break laws and this is news to me.

But basically unless you are in the dessert you have some sort of veg growing around the blind. It might be an inch tall but it's still there.

I got a written warning for hunting near water years back during early goose because there was some dried out cattails in the ditch that it was so dry you would have had fun driving a post into the so called water there.

Must be partially concealed in vegetation. Otherwise just sit in a layout boat on lakes not Mille lacs or pepin. I can’t follow this shit.

They say the West is in the driest twenty year period experienced in at least the past 1200 years......

Drought out west certainly is pretty intense.

In northeastern California, at Lower Klamath and Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuges, only limited hunting will be allowed on dry fields. At Modoc National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), the season opener was cancelled. Asked when hunting might start, assistant refuge manager Stacy Freitas says, “We hope to open in early November.” Currently, just half of Modoc’s sanctuary area and one-third of the hunting area is flooded.
Shasta Valley Wildlife Area will be closed for the season, but Ash Creek Wildlife Area does have sufficient water and is holding birds.
In the northern Sacramento Valley, Paul Buttner of the California Rice Commission anticipates that about 125,000 acres of rice lands will be flooded, which is about 45 percent of normal. Most of the flood-up will occur on the east side of the Sacramento River. Wherever there is water, there are plenty of ducks and geese crowded onto limited habitat. There is no discernable water west of Interstate 5 and limited water in District 10.
At the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex, three units – Colusa, Delevan and Sacramento will open, but will only be able to accommodate roughly half as many hunters as in a normal year. Sutter NWR will be closed all year. A drive along the six-mile tour route this week at Sacramento NWR revealed the effects of the drought. It seemed like less than half of the sanctuary ponds held water while others were completely dry or just beginning to take on water.

How do the water levels come back?

Some of the stuff out by me is 2-3 feet low.

That’s a lot of snow to recover over winter. This might take a few years I’m guessing.
