That's too bad, and I really am sorry to hear that. I've read a quite a bit about some of those issues and it's just heart wrenching to see some of the more obvious problems we've caused.

I don't know if So AR is any better, it's a whole different world once you get down out of the Ozark/Ouachita Mountains.

Last year the floods were so bad here I couldn't get out to set any traps. Hopefully this year will be better. Two years ago I finally did get out and set some. It took me a few shots to get it right, and I learned what I was doing wrong by reading advice by a crawfish trap builder from Louisiana. After that I did get a trap full, sort of. That's another story, but I did get to eat some of our crawdads and they were delicious. Boiled, then sauteed in butter, my gosh, I really would take a mess of them over lobster!
