Cecil, do you have to renew that permit every so often?
Yes every year. Last year I had new visitors. Green herons. Although the greens are supposed to only eat small fish I suspect they may have put a few holes in about four large brook trout. I found two dead ones with holes in them and two that were harvested later that the holes had healed up.
I've haven't renewed yet. $100.00 seems hard to part with so far this year.
One special problem I have is I'm not far from a High School and they light that area up like daytime. I believe I have some night vistors (Herons) I am not aware of due to that. I can understand some lighting but my God this is ridiculous. I can't even look for constellations in that area of the sky it's so bright as you can't see them. I guess if the tax payer pays your utility bill...
