Do you have a plan to control them, if indeed they are reproducing?
I'm a very good shot with a bow and arrow, in fact I shot a big doe last Saturday and put some meat in the freezer.
I can usually get within 20-30 ft of the GC's while I'm out fishing so removing some with a bow or gun should not be a problem. I will probaly rotate some of the larger GC's out next summer, I saw one 4 footer last week.
I was just curious if anyone knew if diploids can reproduce in a pond, and if so, what time of year do they normally spawn? My understanding is that both GC's and CC's need current to pull off a spawn. At the moment I'm not to worried about it, any young GC's would have to run the LMB guanlet in order to survive. The oddity effect in predation does not bode well for any unusual fish in the pond.
