Thanks for the rain report guys. When it rains it pours.
It looks like we got a good amount of water over in Minnesota where we hunt near Fargo. The old pond should now be full until October.

I live just south of Innovis and my neighbor had 4.9 inches in his rain gauge. There were kids SWIMMING in the street and I put a goose decoy out in the water for a laugh. Well Channel 6 came and filmed the goose decoy. not kidding. What are the totals west of Fargo? The farmers needed the rain, but not that much that fast.

My buddy stayed in the Grand Forks area this weekend and said it's really wet up there. Most of the fields were flooded on the way home.
The rain was kind of hit and miss, but if you got rain....you probably got a lot.
I had to move and play a softball tourney this weekend, so we could've done without the humidity...

Looks like this might not be the year to have an early opener for ducks. There could be a late hatch with all this water coming in the second week of June.

Out in Tower we got 1.1 inches and a friend from Kindred said that all they got was some drizzle. We were up in Northern MN again this weekend. It started to rain around 3:30a Sunday and was still raining when we left around 10a. We were just north of Blackduck and it was raining so hard I had to pull over!! It's amazing what some rain can do!

How much rain is falling outside the Valley ?
RRV is not known for duck hunting or duck production for that matter. Areas in north central and northwest ND are getting some good rains, but not the torrential rain the valley is seeing.

Every year there has to be something (weather wise) up here. Two years ago it was a macro burst 115 mph wind that toppled everything it could. Been raining so much the past 10 years - I have had to move to higher ground 3 times at my lake place. (Devils Lake)
Yesterday the wind blew 30 + MPH all day from the east - (worst direction for my lake lot) but I worked all day cleaning up the place & getting my screen porch ready & moved my fire pit. (got a cool metal ring for it with ducks on it) Then last night at 2 am the wind turns to 65 mph, still from the east & lasted for about 5 hrs - plus it rained about 5 to 6 inches in around 3 hrs. My screen porch is completely destroyed & the new fire ring is now about 1/2 erroded away by the waves - must of lost about 6 ft of shore - Limbs & branches everywhere. Many boats were swamped - I used my new Seadoo Jet boat to pull several to the boat ramp - after they were pumped out (in 30 mph east wind this morning) Found out the Jet boat handles pretty good in waves Had fun getting wet - They (Jet boats) like water - pretty hard to stop one of them
On the way home, there is water everywhere -ditches - fields, any low spot is now a nice duck pond. But it will cause alot of crop damage.
I would guess alot of ducks on the nest will be in trouble. -(had not seen any baby ducks yet) - ??? But their are lots, still paired off ??? (Been a late spring) & I'm sure many will re-nest.
I heard Minot got 2 inches Bismarck had tornados nearby & the entire eastern part of the state is one giant wetland.
Whats that saying about red sky in the morning ??? It was Saturday at 6:00 AM ???
