All of this rain is bad.

2 of my 3 hunting spots has creeks on them.  My best spot has a creek that is normally ankle upto knee deep.  Which is no problem with good rubber boots.  I went this morning and it would be nearly chest deep now.  Hopefully the water level will fall before Tues.  My luck would be that every gobbler would be roosted on the opposite side of the creek and of course flydown there too.

I understand your problem. But coming from several generations of farmers, I still find it hard to see rain as anything but a blessing. Old habits die hard, I guess. Good luck to you.

I live on the Iowa River bottoms....we have this issue every year and it sucks to say the least...a couple areas that I love to hunt is always under water for the first season here in Iowa...or at least for the last 5-6 years it has been...it's good to see an early melt this year to get the extra water down stream early as opposed to later...

We'll see what the spring rains have to bring....it was a pretty dry fall around here so we do have some wiggle room

I'm not going to complain about the rain now.  Better now than after the hatch.  And it is keeping the loggers out of the woods until after the season.  Birds going to find some dry ground to stand on.  Gotta hunt them where they are.

Why is it that easterns want dry ground but Osceolas are killed in water all the time?

[Skeeterbait]

Guess that is why Osceolas have longer legs.  So they don't get their tail wet.
