Do you end up with willow trees and cockleburs after a clear cut along the river?

I would never clear cut. I fact I am due for a select cut on my place. Been 35 years from the last select cut.

Then that’s step 1.

The property I guest hunt once a year on Dolorosa Loop lost 50% of the hardwoods after last years high water

What club is that?

Yes, hunting is obviously much worse but you loose more than hunting. You loose access to your camps and can’t enjoy the camps year round.

I go back and forth on this. I fully admit to trashing river camps on here regularly.... But if you have the money and can stomach the gamble, it might be time to look at getting in one. Historically speaking, flooding is cyclical. There’s no denying that the last decade has been the most extreme in recorded history, but if you got in and the cycle swings to a drier pattern, you could make that money back in a hurry.
But who knows... Maybe we finally are in a situation where this is the new norm.
Just thinking out loud.

River bottom won’t getting any lower....

There’s been no evidence that I’ve seen that river hunting property values are dropping. Not saying it won’t eventually if this shite keeps up. But I don’t think we are there yet. At most it has leveled out from what was a continuous rise in value.

Unfortunately this flooding pattern is probably here to stay and CWD will inevitably hit.

Yeah, I’m not saying any of it is going for less. But it does look like it has leveled out and the shares are on the market longer.
I was just browsing the internet back around Christmas one night when I couldn’t sleep and was surprised at what was available... Made me ponder what I’d do if, God forbid, I got some inheritance money in the next couple years.

I know a guy who sold his company in 2007 for a ton of money. In 2009 he bought 2400 acres of river land in SW Miss for $2500 an acre. It has basically been under water from Thanksgiving to the 4th of July for three years in a row.
He asked me if I knew anyone interested at $1500 an acre. I told him I didn't think he could get $1000 at this point. His place is essentially a mud flat. The Timber is dying. No cover. No habitat. No wildlife. Terrible situation.
Isn't the state of Ms trying to sue the fed gov for damages to it's 16th section land because of leveeing the river? If that's ever a success I wonder if it would set a precedent for a private land owner to seek damages as well.
I believe it's not inaccurate to say that without the man-made levees containing the river higher that a lot of this land wouldn't be flooded like it has been.

But I agree the whole river situation is terrible and apt to get a lot worse.
