Heavy rains have fallen over the Northwoods of MN, WI and the U.P in the past few days with reports totaling more than 10″. Many roads and bridges are washed out or heavily damaged. June rains last year are reported as the primary cause of low grouse and woodcock recruitment across the region. Time will tell what these events mean but it certainly isn’t helping.
