Drought Conditions Effect Waterfowl Impoundments
October 31, 2007
The drought that is impacting really the entire south east of the United States is preventing North Carolina Wildlife from flooding the waterfowl impoundments in many parts of the state. This is shaping up to be a very tough duck season especially for hunters that depend heavily on public impoundments. NCWC has just released a report on “Permitted Waterfowl Impoundment Condition Report” (PDF) that if your planning a hunt you may want to check it out.
The drought is continuing and although we got some much needed rain last week in much of the state the deficit is so bad it will take a lot to make it up. Here in the Triangle area they say we need 20+ inches of rain to bring the water tables back to normal. Winters are usually pretty dry here but maybe this year it will be different.
