Eric, they were all the same age. I didn't ladder stock them because I was looking for those few( only 20 added) HSB that excelled, and not a steady HSB population. I also didn't want the forage base hammered by ladder stocking, and my LMB population made me leery of adding another top tier predator in volume. And you're correct, they were getting a little long in the tooth.
