Mississippi River Flooding

[Guest]

It sounds like a mess over in Eastern Iowa, the Mississippi River Timbers are flooded good and more rain coming

No question about the bottom ground being flooded but the deer have adjusted very well. I was turkey hunting in a field on top of a bluff over the river & there were over 20 deer feeding in the pasture. It seems as if they have all moved out of the low lying areas until the water levels drop. The big problem I see is the lack of plant growth in these areas this year. Alot of it will be behind schedule & I would guess of questionable value. I think in the long run the deer will be fine. Maggs.

All that water makes for some great kayaking! Lots of flood plain to explore.
