The son-in-law and his dad and brothers leave a camper in Arkansas just for this time of year. They had been planning a trip for this weekend for most of the season. The water hasn't been pulled down in the area they hunt. Instead of the normal 6" of water, it is around 4'. They didn't even buy their licenses. They just went and got the camper.

Passed on the last weekend trip for Arkansas. Glad I did. 2 teal for a 5 hr one way trip would’ve ticked me off

May see some places up for lease. Or at least a few opening in a few clubs. No birds/ water means folks won’t waste time next year. The money spent traveling and food for a so so hunts just no fun. We can socialize and eat good at home.

One of my best friends said a new alabama group leased the farm next to the one he owns this year (southern Illinois). With the way the season went I can't believe they got any pleasure out of that drive.

It is one thing driving 20 minutes, but 6+ hours is a long way to go for a rough season.
