We were just getting our numbers back from whatever happened last and this just decimated us(at least here). Luckily I was unable to hunt all year but it was a good year to sit one out.
There are some parts of the ditches that stay muddy for a bit but that's about all. I can only speak for my property and the ones that are right next to me. The only thing we could come up with is that during one of the wet spurts when it rained forever and then again a couple days later was the...
The ditches don't stay with water in them. They dry up pretty fast. The longest that they have water in them is maybe 2 weeks if it's raining pretty constantly. When they were dying the ditches were bone dry. For us is was August when I found the first one. They also are usually found around...
