Thanks All for the input. Kinda turned into more of a deer control subject than not doing anything to harm my fish. But thats OK if theres one thing I like talking as much or more than my ponds its deer hunting.

ALso the plantings this guy did in 2006 were very impressive. I couldnt believe the growth. And before and after pics. Next time I drive by there I'll take a picture and post it.

Esshup , Man I love that liftime liscence, Best money I ever spent. Like a dummy I didnt get the fishing too. Wish I had. Shoot me a PM closer to season and we'll plan a hunt. There are a couple of processers that work with the hunters for the hungry around here.

Being as Im doing 12,000 trees the tubes are most likeely not in the budget but I may try a few just for comparison sake. The way this program works the state also pays for weed control and pruning the following 2 years. And they will replant a portion for drought...etc...

Thanks again guys.
