Yep... the greenup is really slow because of it too. Pastures that would normally be a pretty green are still brown. Just now seeing the turkeys use some of them. We got a few good showers last night but they were scattered. It'll rain opening day... wait and see!

I work for a Fire Department and I agree that we need RAIN. All the woods are burning up here. There was a 275 acre fire in Prince William Nat. Forest. This land adjoins Quantico MCB. I hope this will not hurt this years hatch.

We had a pretty good rain/ wet snow mix all day Sat. Last night it rained about 1/2 in. here in the mountains. We could use quite a bit more, it's been dry here also.
Keep em Gobblin!

. . . it can rain all during the season, turkeys are still there . . . as long as it lets up for a couple of weeks when those little guys are hatching

You can have all the moisture you want from me. I got another 8 inches of snow last night and it is still comming down pretty hard. You provide the pick up and transporation (Please start in my diveway).

Its dry here in Central PA. Everytime they call for rain we get none. We had very little snow this winter so if we have a really dry spring the hatch might be good but we're in deep trouble regarding the water table.

In Northern California it has rained 26 out of the last 32 days with no end in sight.
The turkey season opened on March 25th and we have had one day without rain. When it is this wet the turkeys move downhill, we are at 700 feet, to the apple orchards to feed on the fruit that has fallen to the ground and dried up.
If we could send you some of this rainy weather in exchange for some sunshine it would be a great deal for both of us.
