How wet is the ground in East Tx (Trinity, Lufkin, surrounding areas) lately? The brother got stuck in his 4x4 about 3 weeks ago and I haven't been keeping up with how much rain ya'll have got since then. Wanted to get a night hog hunt this weekend but if I cant get my truck off the beaten path it will just be too inconvenient.

We're soaked but the wind has done a good job drying the open areas.

go fer it padna, better to be stuck in the bush than to be stuck at home..

If you stay on a good solid path with a 4x4 you will be alright. In the last 3 weeks I have got stuck 3 times. But I have a regular GMC 4x4, with highway tires. I push it some times. Best way to know is to find out! Good luck

There's water standing in a lot of the potholes and low spots but the open areas that have been getting hit by the wind are pretty solid.
I just hope we can keep this up through June at least.

Lol yea I came anyway. Walked out to throw corn and nearly sank an inch or two with each step. Won't get the truck off the path but I figure if I drop a big hog it'll just be coyote food and an eater i'll easily drag it. Just had to hunt!!
