I'm tired of ice. We are currently running several wells to speed up the thaw, but farmers have advised that the ice is so thick that it would shred the tires on the tractors. At $2K/tire, it's not time to use mechanical force. Bring your chainsaws and bilge pumps as this is extreme ice. Let's get the club ready to finish out stronger than we ever have before.

See ya'll tomorrow night.

Wow, talk about kickin you when you're down. Discovered the pipes froze, busted and flooded the triv main clubhouse this weekend. We are in the process of repairing and getting ready, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks Bradley and hired crew until wew hours yesterday.

I've got room for 1 in the boat. If your crazy enough to go, call my cell tonight. We've got em hemmed up.

Wow, it's cold out there and I'm up at 2:39 with a whooping cough trying to recover from what weather has been thrown at us lately. I know ducks can be had in ice, but I'm far from an expert.

A lot of folks keep calling me for updates and how to kill ducks in the next week or so. Here's my response: This is a 100 year flood, do the math. You should be focussed first on getting our club huntable so that we can hunt. Personally, I have been trying to keep housing from flooding for the last week and not so focussed on ducks. more »

I've talked to several farmers today and confirmed over 6 inches on rainfall on the club in the last couple days. Bring your pickle buckets and pumps b/c all pits will need to be bailed dry this weekend and some will be totally under water. If the water comes up too much, we might be retrieving decoys all weekend to get the pits back in shape for the post Christmas slaughter. more »

I'm going to be very frank and brief. If I hear of a truck on any of the farm levees that aren't graveled, don't be surprised if you see a flaming vehicle on the farm that will scare the ducks.
