If you are archery hunting and put in half an effort, you will get the mullet award this year for not killing oneLOL easy to say since i for the first time in my life did not draw. Didn't think it was possible, but i pulled it off, no tag for the first time in 11 or 12 years.....
. I did hear of at least 5 other people that didn't draw as well. The willows by UL Bend are all gone. The tops of the 20 ft trees we used to hunt by down there are all that's left sticking up and a good 4-500 yards of the mouth of Soda creek are now under water. As you go further up the river more of the islands and willows are still intact and above water. Places that last year would have taken 5 to 6 ft to get from the river (boat) to the island now only need 6 inches or less. Many of the islands up at that point have standing water in parts of the islands, but not all of the island. If we get pretty good fall rains much of those islands will go under since the lake is filling its flood pool, but right now it's only filled about 9% of it. Hopefully you'll draw next year! I'll try to get some pics of the islands posted later tonight after work.
