    Here in South Jersey it has been the wettest we have ever seen.
    Makes me wonder how the deer are coping with it.
    Our ground is so saturated with water, and the water table is super super high.
    It all started in Novemeber with rain.
    Heavy rains every couple of days, then heavy, heavy snows, then back to rain , rain, rain.
    We have pine trees that just can't hold up to any winds in the water saturated soil.
    Sump pumps sales are at an all time high.
    Everyone is pumping basements, buildings, garages, and homes.
    Farm feilds have standing water in them.
    Swamps are over loaded and the woods is full of water.
    Tonight we are supposed to get 4 - 6 inches of ( MORE ) rain.
    Even when it stops raining, the water has no where to go.
    The one picture that looks like a lake has been there for months.

    looks damn wet, mother nature can be a B!

    However, it amazes me how versed deer are in adaptation! I wouldn't worry about them, I hope everything is well/gets better on the home front!

    We had a 100 year flood two years ago here in Wisconsin. Looks like you are on your way to at least the 50 year flood. Good luck.

    Kind of the same thing here in central Illinois. A very wet fall kept farmers from getting the harvest done in the "normal time", but they did it. We have standing water in a lot of places too. Hopefully the rain is done for a bit & things can dry up somewhat. Of course April showers are a coming.
