I was hoping to stock on the heavy side for the F1 bass because of their size(1-2 inches) and their survival rate(herons,water turkeys,catfish) may end up closer to 50-75/acre from the original 100/acre. larger F1 seem difficult/expensive to come by here. Presently have a good bloom in pond visibilty about 16 inches. Any ideas about scaring off water turkeys besides shooting them? I'm only out there on weekends. I've already stocked 1250/acre with native bluegills 1000 /copper nose 250 so that's why I was going light on the red ears. Should I go ahead and push tham up to 250/acre ?
