[QUOTE="WilcoKen, post: 5456697, member: 16287"] This is my 2nd year of this style hunting so I am still learning. I'm really liking what TNGunsmoke said above. We basically only hunt weekends so maybe the 5 day break will help too. What is crazy is that last year we had too much water. Buddy that is on with me demanded farmer keep filling our field up in late Nov. Farmer said you wont need that much water--trust me. Well he relented so we had water within 3" of the top of the pit on opener. Then Dec 31 about 5" of rain fell that weekend. The field stayed 2-3" over the top of pit the last 30 days of season (about 20" deep in field). Our pit is smack dab in the middle of a 40 acre field. Beavers had clogged the drain box to where it could not be unclogged so field could drain. So we had to hunt levee all of Jan. That just didnt work. And now, we have no water. Lol. Water is supposed to be guaranteed--we will see I guess. If we do get water I think I have my buddy convinced that 6-8" of water is plenty. I'd love to keep a thread going about that style of hunting over there. Prior to last year I had exclusively hunted WMAs in middle TN. I try to keep learning about pit hunting etc. [/QUOTE]
