Alpinebullwinkle Report post Posted April 29, 2015 Great rain and hail today in Alpine. That makes three days in a row with precipitation. Alpine is looking about the best I have seen it for this time of the year! Oh....and most years I have seen bulls with the start of 5 points by late April. Best yet this year is a 3 point..... but admittedly I haven't been out as much as normal this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mc68 Report post Posted May 5, 2015 Well some parts of the state are getting really good moisture out of today's storm. I don't know exactly how much it will help growth, but its definitely not gonna hurt it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naturebob Report post Posted May 5, 2015 Ya I am watching it from afar and it is great. More Tomm. I think. Rain Baby Rain.......BOB! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirRoyal Report post Posted May 5, 2015 It will help growth big time! The only time rain is not going to help as much is actually the monsoons in july!! Timing is every thing! ! And you don't want a ton of rain because it washes away the nutrients in the soil. This is one of the theories that the reason Arizona grows monster bulls our rain is incremental! Just enough at the right time!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Sparky Report post Posted May 5, 2015 Rained at my house today. Watched the weeds grow 3 inches which usually doesn't happen until August. Hoping it does that to the deer and elk antlers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just enough at the right time!! You said it right there SIR. To much rain washes away the nutrients. Food plays as much if not more than the moisture as well as genes.

Alpinebullwinkle Report post Posted May 5, 2015 Ten straight days of at least sprinkles to a few good short term rains now in Alpine. Never before experienced this in the spring time! Will be interesting to see what horn quality we get this year....... but I'm guessing "above average" at this point with the greenery currently in the forest. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
