[QUOTE="UpperTully, post: 5406299, member: 1983"] Excellent points and I thought about the correlation to Ensley when I was putting it together. The data could be broken down better but that was the best I could do with what’s available. The flood of 2019 was typical for a flood of it’s size. With early June being the target time to get beans in the ground, you can see the river impacts that with the data below. The 2019 flood lingered around longer than the 2011 flood. Neither are common with typical spring seasonal flooding. I have my a theory on a contributing factor of the increased flooding issues we’ve seen in the past decade. I’m just trying to figure out how to lay it out with data. Another theory I have is; the early years of the hunts were a result over larger than normal herd size due to optimal crop production and lack of hunting pressure. The 2011 flood altered crop production and the carrying capacity decreased. Subsequent major flood events negatively impacted the herd as well and doe harvests. If you compare the data to that of similar wma’s like Moss Island or Earnest Rice (predominately archery only and identical habitat) they’re quite similar. This is why I say PI is nothing more special than any other WMA along the Miss River and a fella has equal chance to kill a deer of equal class whenever he wanted to on those WMAs [/QUOTE]
