I took 4 boys hunting over the weekend. Three bucks were taken, none of any size. Two barely made the 13" minimum and another was a really old toothless spike. The other 2 were all 3.5 years old. Both had unusual racks that would never turned into trophies. One was a 5 point with a spike on one side and the other a 7 point. I'm glad that all 3 are out of the gene pool. It's odd that none of them even saw a doe.

Three large pigs came by the house but nobody even had a rifle in their hands. It's unusual to see 3 pigs that size during the day.

The boys are all 14 yoa. Two had never shot a deer and were pretty pumped. My Grandson and another boy have been hunting for years. We let them do all of the skinning and butchering.

All four are making plans to get back out 2 weeks from now.

The rut is just getting started here.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
