Default RE: Floods....hard on wildlife......

We had major flooding this spring, closed many roads and put thousands upon thosandsof bottomland hardwood and farmland acres under water for 2 to 3 months. It was like a once every 50 year flood kinda deal. I got out where its dried up some and I saw a ton of deer and deer sign everywhere. I was very relieved to say the least, saw a ton of squirels too. They will be fine but they will have to go somewhere until the water goes down. Now, a few weeks ago we did find several turkey eggs that had been washed out of nest. Turkey population may be down some due to that in the next year or so.
