Yea, Ghost. I ask for rain after planting those food plots, and now we have to build a Ark!

My clover got flooded again last night!

The good thing is it made it though one flood so it should make it though another!

No kidding! In some parts it looks like Iowa now has some ocean front property.

Crazy rain has really screwd up our work plans...

Right now the Mississippi at Clinton is just about higher than in '93. CRAZY!

Saylorville will be up an estimated 30+ feet within a few days. CRAZY!

I hope it's done up here. Most rivers have crested. The ol' Upper Iowa was working hard to keep it all in and a few days ago most smaller streams were running all over the place. It's always neat to fish the river after these floods because it's all new.

We had water places it hasn't been in at least 60 years!

Looked like this rolling in...

and left this behind...

no news to most of you I'm sure...but dang it got high!

Corn fared better then beans...

The "mud line" was 8 ft higher then my pond is now and must have been pouring over the whole dike!

Lucky it's still there...

I can't believe how green you guys corn is? Thet have been harvesting here for a couple of weeks.Right in time for early muzzy season and dove season.

Here are some pictures from Saturday. We went down to cut some wood and move some stands. As you can see we didn't get any stands moved in the bottoms!

My favorite place to hunt is under a couple feet of moving water right now.
