You must be in the south I'm guessing. Up north herte the water tables around the places I play seem high. But any give spot a few miles away from each other in Alberta can be a different. I'm hoping for a drier fall this year, it was so muddy last year in the bush, it was a bugger to hunt the big animals.

Draw a circle around Edmonton for 80 miles.  The water table continues to be quite low.

Pot hole shooting used to be pretty good around Edmonton.  Those grain fed puddle ducks make for good pepperoni and super Chinese dishes at my neighbor's house.

I loved how the dog jumped into the back of truck when he/she smelt gun oil going behind the cab seat? And when the cold weather came, the dog sat up front under the heater both before and after the hunt. That was good because you could blame your  farts on the dog.
