How many got turned into bacon? None. We have been kind of busy and it has been a while since I have had the opportunity.

Just need a corral! Get them used to coming in for feed and have a remote gate closer and pen them up. It is easy for us guys that don't have problems with them to give advice!

Another big sow down. 200 yards placed right behind the ear. DRT. Doesn't get much better than that. Regret I did not get a video of it. I am still impressed with this 18” IWT 6.8SPC and IR Hunter Mark III 60mm.

Best laid plans last week....... A friend and I were going to do some load development work for one of my rifles at the shooting range below the spillway but it was underwater. The weather was bitterly cold too. So that was a bust. Shooting range under water. Pond releasing lots of water.

Nice hog! Keep up the good work.
That's a lot of water. Are you getting a good flushing?

Oh no Mark......I hope you can get it reattached. He says he can do it....but that thing once we get it back over there is going to be heavy as hell out in the cold water. He says he has a "trick" that will do it. We'll see.

That trick ought to be interesting
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Will be interesting to see the data. Well, I don’t know where he was during the electro-fishing survey back in the fall........but he sure was AWOL. 7.2#’s which I guess isn’t bad for a farm pond. Still trying to break 8#’s though.

If he has, or he can rent airbags that can be inflated under the dock and hoist it up to a higher elevation float it over its posts and let the air out of the bags lowering it to the top of the posts to be fastened back down.
All the really good ideas I've ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.

Live and learn. 5 years down the road and erosion has eaten away at the banks under my bridges necessitating they be reworked. Original BuildBridge one has had rock added under and around it, 10' added to the length and it has been raised 12"....more like 18". Bridge two has had rock added under it and around it as well as the center boards replaced. The cattle didn't do me any favors either walking down the sides of the bridge creating channels for rain water to carry away the dirt. Bridge three has rail road ties and rock added as well as 10' added to the length. I hope these repairs will last a little longer.
