Last summer our tanks were dry until late September and early October, then it rained on and off for a couple of weeks right in the middle of the youth hunts and cow hunts. Filled the tanks some. The Elk had moved off the tanks in the early summer so hunting was a bit tough for those hunters who sit water. Had a few fires and one just 2 weeks ago. Hope it rains or snows soon. That said the Elk in my front yard are Fat. No stress at all.
