We live next to a state park here in Missouri. They started controlled hunts a few years ago. They made hunters take two does before they could harvest a buck. I haven't been drawn for it yet, maybe someday.. Lots of big deer in there.
Got out yesterday with Kate, my new Setter. She did alright. Pointed and retrieved 10 quail in 70+ degree weather with some strong winds..

Preserve shoot. Going to take her out for wild birds (quail) next weekend.

9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
