Pat, you have a valid point - Oakwood area is at a lower elevation than our place and drainage into the Trinity river bottoms - perhaps different soil types. I consider a siphon system an affordable insurance policy.

Only hunting was on opening weekend and no deer taken even though several young 8 pointers observed. Only older "trophy" class bucks are taken by our family members. Late season does on the menu if any permits issued this year -
Good luck with TP&W conservation program.
