Wister - Any news of water availability?

[Dave3006]

With the megadrought in process, has anyone heard if water will be a problem for us at Wister? Even during a good year, fields can be less than ideal.

Pretty quiet out there these days, but have heard they've done a bunch of work....Anyone hunt on there?

They should of had a Hunter input meeting. I e mailed him and all I got was that time got away from him and no meeting scheduled … yet.

he said he’d e mail me if they did schedule one. But haven’t heard a thing.

I wish they would at least post up their flood up plan as of now.

All other regions have had public meetings. It’s a violation of law to not hold a meeting annually.

Scott doesn't visit the wildlife area, as seen in the past years how it was neglected...2nd, if you read the article on Scott at SJ years back. You would see he's above the law.

The water for Wister comes from the colorado river and they should be able to get all the normal water this year. Once Lake Meade falls below a certain threshold then all bets are off but for now, they should get their water.

There were a lot of CWA funds spent at Wister this past season-lets hope they continue the improvements and the birds respond.

Someone needs to go take some pics of the work and give an update on what has been done. W11 area and Y15's were being worked according to the grant info. Ill be out that way in a few weeks and Ill poke around if no one has by then.

I heard Hazard got a complete haircut, that’s going to screw the white bird “sneakers/poachers”. CWA project there too

I asked this same question years ago why we never had a hunter input meeting. Never did receive an answer. There used to be a meeting during the area cleanups but those haven't happened in years also. Sad that the area is in decline
