Annual Rain Tracker Thread

Ltsheets · Apr 29, 2016

I figured it wasn't to early to start tracking how different regions are doing with rainfall. I was fortunate enough to draw another Gila tag and last year I really enjoyed following how moist it was out there. It got me excited about the potential for a great year for antlers. Out here in Clovis, it's drier right now than it was this time last year. Please chime in on where you live!

I have received over an inch of precip. in April,so far.
Flurries again today. Haven't gotten spring moisture in 5 yrs. Still some snow on the peaks & in shadows.
If we get a decent monsoon it will be great.
My Gramma is trying,but needs more warmth. Cool grasses doing good.
Happy critters!

Getting a lot of rain here in Clovis over the last 12 hrs. I'll post totals from my rain gauge when it all stops.

I hope we get some more. The huge fire in 17 is winding down but it looks like the next 2 weeks are going to be scorchers...

Ended up with 3.5" of rain in less than 24 hrs here in Clovis at my house. Not bad for those of you with tags in 31, 32, and 40!

How'd the Gila fair after this system moved through? It seemed relatively dry when I was there early last week.

How's the rain been the last month or so in the Gila?

The tracker i follow shows my spot getting 9-12" i the last 30 days..... i know my tank and wallow will have water!

I check the radar two or three times daily and it looks like the north-northwest portion of the Gila has been getting slammed. Whether or not the radar is actually producing accurate information, that's another story.

I really hope these cooler temps and all the rain will have them talking early Sep.

It was very cool @4:30 this morn. I actually put on the windbreaker in Quemado waiting to get oil change & lube on the hunt truck.Dark skies early today & hoping for rain.
