Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How is it going this morning E. Tx?

I just poured 6" out of my rain gauge, that was empty at 7am, and its still raining. Not raining as hard now, just steady. A little wind, not bad.

Weather report now says it will stop some time during the night.

Got an inch here.

Cooler temps were sure welcome.

looks like you won't have to wait much longer...

We didn't get much rain, but there was a cool "cotton candy" sunrise this morning.

3.2 total here. Water everywhere, running all over the place.

A buddy was worried a duck hunting spot would be dry by Saturday... worry no more. LOL.

Anyone that complains about rain has not been through extreme droughts. I've seen both enough, to know at 50, I ain't gonna complain about a flood.

Good Gawd, just being stuck in Texass is bad enough-and then you've got weather to deal with? Man do I feel sorry for you boys.........well, not really, but....

It's coming here tonight.

You won't see much bitchin' about rain after sixteen of the last twenty years being drought. Hell, we have an entire generation that doesn't realize that this weather is NORMAL.

Yesterday - Wednesday, Nov.18 - we had at least 5 inches on my part of the Texas coast by my rain gauge, and most of that came in a pretty short time period. Much cooler and sunny this morning, but had some wind damage in our area yesterday, also.

Don't know how much rain fell here but the 14ft john boat tied up at the dock, sank.

Many ways I agree that I'm stuck in Texas. But not for more than a handful more years before we move.

Obviously our panacea ain't going to be North Central US...

I ended up with 5 inches total. miles

I got .3" Monday afternoon, 8.1" Tuesday during the day, and 1.2" after dark for a total of 9.6"

I was at Little Rock most of the day, day before yesterday, and I think they were getting more rain than what we got. miles

I went to the creek yesterday and was going to put out a stand on one of the islands. All of the low islands were under water and the creek appeared to still be rising, so I didnt put out a stand. Just guessing, but I think there was a about a 3' rise. I stuck a stick at the water's edge and will check it again today.

Of course, this creed rises and falls pretty fast, so in a few days, it will be down and the islands good to hunt again.

Water was over the road to my stand yesterday, on the way in, but had dropped when I came out. I am about in the mood to day to hell with bucks and shoot a doe. Only buck that I have seen is a 4 inch spike and I have seen him 3 times. Not legal, but does are. miles

Told you. I made meat around 7:00 this morning. Big old doe, all alone, I figured she needed dead. miles

Good for you. I went a little while this morning and nothing was moving. No squirrels feeding, only a few birds, saw and heard more crows than anything.

Came out about 10, gonna eat a bite and go move a stand, then trim a tree for another.

Try them again this afternoon.

Damned few harp on Texass more than me. That said, it still kicks the crap out of places like OH and PA, among other bastions of unionista, leftist bullschit ideology and even schittier "hunting".

Good luck. Can't eat antlers anyway, so unless I see a wall mounter, I"m after any cull buck and a limit of does. I have no need to kill bucks just to kill em. I wished everyone on the lease felt the same way.
