Ringed, green, and belted here in east Texas. Pretty sure I have a belted. What about in your very different neck of the woods? Are you still fighting snow, ice & cold?
I try not to cut down dead trees unless strictly necessary, as they are home for wood ducks and woodpeckers. Also, eagles love to perch there for uninterrupted view.
Honestly, it's been a long struggle to get my BOW up to snuff. Still not 100 percent where I'd like it to be, but the perfect is the enemy of the good. At least it's fun for my guests when the feeders go off!
Wish I could stock & keep tiger muskies to control LMB numbers. For that matter, I love smallmouths, too!
