They have arrived... The Gila is greening up and the tanks are filling up! Hung some more cameras and glassed yesterday before getting HAMMERED with rain. The big deluges were spotty with some tanks overflowing with water and others less than a half mile away only getting 6". That and some of the arroyos and ditches were absolutely flooded. A good thing to see, that's for certain. Looks like spring with lots of green shoots springing up everywhere. There may be an acorn crop as well as the oak has sprung to life.
Even better was the quality of the animals that I saw. No hip bones or ribs showing and their coats are starting to look sleak and healthy. I'll post some pictures when I get home tonight, but things are finally starting to look up in our beloved Gila. There WILL be some good bulls killed this year. Look for them to start coming out of the wood-work in the next two weeks...
