Droughts in the South, Good or Bad?

[MolliesMaster]

From a duck hunting perspective only, are these drier years good or bad for your duck hunting?

Obviously not having water sucks for those trying to plant and manage a manipulated food source. But I’d have to think for those hunting more natural locations this lower water would mean a reprieve for water logged trees and opportunities for more natural grasses to spring up. Of course, all the grass in the world won’t mean anything if the water doesn’t come back up in the winter.

What are your thoughts? What are you seeing? Do these drier summers help or hurt your bottom line, as far as ducks are concerned?

Always like Santee when water was down about 3 feet.

When I still went and battled the masses on our lakes for a few ducks, the drought years were certainly some of the best.

Dry periods are paramount for all wetlands.
