Paula Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 i hope we get some, i thought i heard thunder 30 min ago. the water has dried up where i hunt, maybe thats why i am not seeing anything on camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 If we don't get some rain pretty soon, we may not have to be thinking about an October 1st bow opener. They might decide to close the woods down. I'm telling you, it is getting ridiculous out there. It would take absolutely nothing to get a fire started. i'm starting to wonder if my well is going to survive. I've never seen it tested to this extent before.

Paula Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 i'm starting to wonder if my well is going to survive. I've never seen it tested to this extent before. my cousin live in pavilion and "just in case" they have a holding tank in basement they have filled it up 2 -3 times this summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 no kidding...it's bad when you walk across green grass and it crunches!!...no ferns and all weeds in the woods(shade) wilted...some of our ground looks like the cracks go right down to the shale bed...and the yard..drive... woods are already under leaf cover...Saturday night we were driving home and some nut had a bomfire with flames that looked 30ft tall..it was huge out in the area of a cut clover field they'd just sprayed with liquid manure 5 days ago...little risky IMO...I feel for all of us this winter....

WNYBuckHunter Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I was just commenting the other day that even the weeds are starting to die off. I dont dare mow the lawn at all at the new house, I dont want to damage what grass there is that isnt brown. I am also watching the forecast each day, as I really want to put some fertilizer down, but need rain to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
