How much water to flood?
My family has 160 acres in Western Okalhoma with an 11 acre swamp. We have mashed the ducks on it when it has water. We got a little crazy 2 years ago and purposefully drained the swamp to burn out the overgrowth and an extreme drought hit the area. This year we had it tilled and planted in Milo which did great in the moist swamp dirt but it is still dry other than a couple puddles in low areas. We also had a dozer dig out a few holes to a little deeper depth as well. We finally had a well dug last week and hit good water. The digger is telling us we should get close to 125 gal/min out of the pump which should run 24 hrs./day.
My question is how long will it take to get enough water to hunt? Max depth for the swamp is about 4.5 feet and it is daily flat. Thanks for the input.
