Pat, I’m not sure how old this buck is. I have always been a Quail hunter first, just started deer hunting. I’ve just got 60 ac. Many small farms in the area of similar sizes. The previous owner of our place shot anything legal (4 pts on a side). We’ve been a lot more selective. Starting to talk to neighbors about waiting. About 25% on board.
This was by far, the biggest buck I’ve seen on our place, but there are bigger ones out there.

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.
