Yeah, I just found that out about the RES. The local ponds have PS and they're fun to catch, not sure if they're tasty or not. GSF are illegal to stock here too, but I think HBG are ok which doesn't make sense to me. Would enough bass keep the BG and PS in check?
We don't have any bears right here, just fox and coyote. And raccoons, 'possums and cats.
