Any other lease's under water?

Ours is. No way to access it right now. We border the Sulphur river and I've got a sneakin hunch they opened up the levy's on Lake Cooper. If we don't start seeing a drying pattern soon, were screwed.

Not being able to hunt always blows. Worried as well about our tractor and other items inside the barn. Hopefully, it didn't flood.

I know there is nothing we can do against Mother Nature. Guess I just needed to vent.

I hate that. I went to scout a public area and what use to be a road is now 5 ft deep in water.

Hope all turns out good for ya soon.

What public area are you refering too?

The Vine.

had one like that in SE TX a several years ago. Thnere were a couple of ways in, and all of them were under water. We were trying to get in late one Friday night, using a spotlight to see the water... You can guess what happened next... Game warden pulls up, asks about the light, sees the rifles,... Luckily he believed us since the guns were still in cases and the ammo was all separate (yes, he checked).

Hope you guys dry out this week. If the rain doesn't stop soon, I might be riding the dozer to the stand at our place

same here...our place is nothing but creeks and deep ravines. I can probably make it to my stand, but my fiance won't be able to make it to hers, so I may put her up a ground blind and wish her the best of luck.

My old lease would always flood... but could get in a small flatbottom and get back in past the flooded sloughs to where the tall ridges were before it hit riverbottom. Would be amazed at the deer traveling from ridge to ridge and wading through chest high water.

I went to my lease last week, to check the cameras. I got to one, and water was about 3" from getting into it. I had to wade waste high water. It has killed all of my food plots. I am thinking of planting a few small plots again, but I havent decided just yet. We are still getting rain at the house right now.

its awfully muddy but we can access it. got my bros 2wd sierra stuck this past weekend, ended up working my way out of it but i almost had to make the 4 mile walk back to camp.

About half of ours is. We're on the Sabine near Mineola. We have three feeders, two cameras and a pop-up underwater. If this flippin' rain doesn't stop soon we may be doing more duck hunting on our place then deer hunting.

My feeder, stand & camera are in 5" of water as of last Thur. I don't think it dried out before this last bit started this morning. I'm getting kinda paranoid about it messing up my hunting if it doesn't stop before Nov. I don't recall this much rain this time of the year. It's been pretty ridiculous.

Turn it into a waterfowl lease.

Mine is under water as well. I hunt on the Sabine River just south of Carthage. Hopefully my cameras make it through all of this. I may be getting pictures of fish at my feeder before its all over. I may not get to hunt again until mid-late November.

ours is so close to being a lake but our creeks and drains are working over time to keep it just really really muddy and if we go hunting alot of walking will be taking place

Mine is as well, sulfer river bottom, north of rivercrest HS

Entire north side of where I'm hunting is under water and all the deer moved to the south side which is surrounded by lake on three sides. A little more rain and I'll have them all pushed into a corner.

I like that idea! sorry to hear your under water, makes for a tough year. But might push the deer to high ground, which could be good if you have access to it

Our place is on the Llano River between Junction and London. In 1998 on the first weekend of deer season we got all kinds of rain the week before and the Friday before the opening of deer season. We had the house almost wash away, the tractor was under water, 3 of our feeders were under water and a lot of our fencing washed away. The water had to rise 35 feet to get in the house and it not only got in the house, it was in the house 7 feet deep. Needless to say, we did not get to hunt until about 3 weeks later and even then, we did more cleaning up than hunting. It was a horrible season, but at least it was a deer season.

That sucks, my buddy used to hunt a place on the Sabine, and had two stands out there, luckily the season he hunted out there was dry, but after season it flooded and both stands floated, they were able to recover both stands as neither went to far, One was in the bottom of a creek bed and it was a B trying to get it out, after that they decided to hunt elsewhere, we still have access to the property as it is company owned and do have a feeder out there, BUT it is a POP up blind place and is used mostly to trap hogs, you guys will be lucky if you get to hunt these places opening weekend if they are as deep as our property is now.

It was around '98-'2000 we had a real wet fall like this. When I got in my ground blind and sat down the chair sank 8" down to the cross braces. Kinda messed up my shooting angles.

True. It also pushes all the varmints to high ground too. Be prepared to thin them out, otherwise they can put a real hurt on your future game numbers.

I hunt just north of Carthage. Went 2 weeks ago and out of 4 stands, I couldn't get to none of them. Going back this weekend but they are callin for more rain on top of what we got Mon. Looks like I'll be bringing a couple of stands and start scouting a "new" place where I won't need a boat to get to. I'm afraid this season is gonna suck!!!

I hate seeing threads like this. I been trying to find a jon boat as a joke here in nw louisiana to use. They said 5-7 inches for us by weeks end here! So probaly not even gonna hunt

I havnt been able to get to my stand and feeder since opening day of bow-season as it started flooding that eve. Just about the time it dries out enough.....more darn rain. The deer are feeding on the acorns on the hill-sides so it kinda makes for easy hunting IMO

Sure a lot of folks hunting in flood planes! I'm also in a creek bottom and it's been dry up until a just a few weeks ago, and now that dry creek has been full of water and it splits the place in half so I have to go around on a county road to get to the other side of the lease.

I lost a feeder on another lease two years ago that was in a river bottom so I know what you guys are having to deal with, and it's rough.

Hopefully things will dry out and we'll be able to salvage the season!

60 of our 65 acres is about 9' deep riight now. Our place is on the sulphur river right by dalby springs. We had a very nice food plot going and its all gone now. Luckily, we got the cameras out and the feeder raised up high. We have been able to hunt the 5 acres on the hill, but it sure makes it tough. All that work for nothing, and so far we have missed the entire bow season on the main part of our land. Looks like it is ongoing as well with all the rain we are supposed to get thursday. Its just nuts, Ive never seen rain like this here and all the flooding. The water is 2' going over the dam on tawakoni.

all of our stands, feeders, and food plots are fine, it's just the several creeks running through the property that make things interesting. Several of the stands require crossing 2 creeks to get to and the water is running 3-4 feet and pretty fast, so you really can only cross them in the big tractor (Case IH 5140). I guess the up side is that the tractor has a bucket on the front so carrying the deer back is not a problem

I went to our family land in Madisonville today, and all the rivers where out of there banks, I got stuck twice, but our land is in the dry, we have a creek that was out but is now well back in..

Our place near Clay is not underwater but there is a creek and it is impassable and will be for at least a week, so bow season is over for us unfortunately. We will bow hunt during gun season but the woods get full then.

Mine is in Kenefick and is under about a foot and a half. I just hope it drains by opening weekend or I will have to wade to my stand.

went back out today..........................still underwater...........this sux

I feel for everyone who can't make opening weekend because of flood water. I hunt in Groveton Texas in Trinity County and my pond is still 5 feet low. I wish we had some of the rain you guys are getting, but not the flood part. Good luck for opening weekend and I dont want to catch the evening news that some hunters drowned trying to reach their lease or stand. Also becareful if your bringing children. good luck and prayers be with you.

I am nut under water but to muddy to drive in. 3 inches last week and 5 inches this week with more to come. I park at the gat and walk to the barn. If I stay on the roads I can get around in my EZ go.

The back side of our place will be by tomorrow morning. The Sulphur is already out of the banks and about to make it the 2 miles to our place.

Crap. And with the rain we have moving in today....We're gonna lose everything.

This SUCKS! I was under water 5 days ago & got about 3" 2 days ago & today will get @ least 2" more. I still have some trees to trim for shooting lanes. Last week I did as much as I could standing in 5" of water the WHOLE time. I'm really starting to think I might be screwed for at least opening weekend.

As of yesterday our place was just really really muddy. If we get all the rain they are saying we will get today and tomorrow, the youth weekend is going to be really muddy. We have to cross a creek to get to our best stand, so that may not happen this weekend if it gets up much higher than it is now. But we have a good spot close to camp where we always see a few does if nothing else, so we may just have to hunt there.

I feel for you guys. Our place is in Duval county and is all red sad, the only time we get stuck is when it doesnt rain, which for us, unfortunately, is most of the time. Two weeks ago I got my dads 3/4 ton d-max and 30' travel trailer stuck, that was fun, lots of digging and boards. When it rains the sand packs and it is like driving on cement. Hope it dries up for yall.

Our lease in Kaufman is bottom land and my main stand sits in the lowest part on the edge of the creek-probably with four feet of water around it. It floods every summer so this year, I decided to put a bow stand in a higher area that has never flooded. Man I'm glad I did. It's paid off with a doe already but now it looks like it may be my only rifle stand if this crazy water keeps up.

Well with the rain we have got tonight, It is pretty much gonna be flooded anywhere in East Texas and North Louisiana

if we got as much rain at the lease as we did in houston today its gunna be awfully muddy out there...

Yeah its wet... really wet...

all creeks crossing 95 are well out of bank.
edit: and the schools out in that area are closed due to trees being down and roads being flooded..fyi.

(the stand in my sig pic is high and dry though)

figured as much. hopefully it drys up some by the opener.

the spot i have been showing you those bucks from is gunna be a swamp.

Hopefully the forecast is correct and we have 10 straight days of no rain, then it will just be wet and muddy
