Hi everyone. I finally saw a scout last night. I'm having trouble reporting him on the scout arrival report.

Tony - that is great news! I can help you log into your pmca account to report the scout - will email you details. Or you can file report by emailing info to [email protected]

New website, many changes to get used to for everyone - but it gives the PMCA a much more manageable database to work with , so bear with us folks.

Great news Tony. 2016 has brought a slow and sporadic start for pre-February Texas arrivals. Seeing these Guadalupe and Brazos River reports indicates migration might be getting ready to break open in Texas.

Have a great season and keep in touch.
Your friends to the south!!
