Of Interest | An example of a July update to the membership about the progress made on the annual wetlands summertime maintenance. Wetlands management can be feast or famine, depending on the mood of mother nature. This year we have seen excessive rainfall on our middle zone leases, but not so much in the north zone.
At this point we're done with everything we can do to enhance the hunting, so our next phase will be to cover, repair and rebuild blinds that were damaged from the floodwater.
We were quickly able to drain Henry C, replant the lake bed and cross our fingers for the best.
The photo of a pot hole that was planted and will be used as a wade-in area. Since it's been so dry the last couple of years the landowner has done a good job keeping the brush down to provide more open areas to hunt.
A view from the NE corner of Henry C facing west. The only thing missing in the photo is blind #1, that has been around for a long time. Fortunately or unfortunately, it was not able to withstand the pressure of the floodwater.
The north end of the lake bed was replanted. Time will tell to see if the seed will take.
A view from the southwest corner of Henry C facing northeast.
The Association's Henry County dinosaur of a duck lake, "Blairstown Lake" hasn't seen water like this in 4 years. Let's hope for the best! It's been a while since we covered the blinds and tripped over spent shells while doing so. |
