Man we have flooding down here you wouldn't believe. Those bottoms won't be able to hunt for a month. Going to save a lot of coons. I hope trappers don't lose too many of their traps.

Jeff seems ta think the coons might of been affected by the blue tongue that worked on the deer last year,I know we ain't got no way the deer like we used to....& coons are rare around here. We did see 7 turkeys yesterday.
