RAIN, RAIN AND MORE RAIN...Considering building an ark in the backyard..  This sure puts a damper on turkey season. I also wonder what it is doing to the nesting hens and this year's hatch?

Don't get me started on the rain.... It's making work very difficult. Unfortunately we don't have the option of staying in the office during a rain right now; we've got waaaaay too much work to do in the next 2-3 weeks to just let it rain. I think somehow Indiana got moved to the northeast part of the US.  My turkey season is done, but it can quit raining any time. |

If this keeps up, it won't be good for nesting.

Where I am living; it has been raining everyother day. Yes, the weather being rainy has placed a real damper on the Turkey Season for about everyone. I am not certain how it will affect the nesting broods this year, but it can't be too good. Fortunately, around our area, there is ample cover to keep the nests reasonably dry and somewhat out of the rain. Been seeing lots of young Squirrels so far this Spring.  |

I have to think that the nesting won't be too badly affected- most of our rains have come over several hours and flooding really hasn't been too severe. I think it's the severe flooding that really messes up the nests.
