Today my dirt guy came by and got rid of the old burn pile. It took a while to shake out the dirt, but after a while, the burning commenced!!
After that, the real work began. He was there to dig out two new forage ponds. Georgetopia II and III.
Georgetopia II was first, it is roughly the same size and shape as Gerogetopia I. Georgetopia III is a little smaller but that is okay because it is going to be used to work on LMB genetics!!
Georgtopia III is also closer to some pine trees, so I 'll have to see if that effects water quality in a little pond or not.
I took a panoramic of the three ponds in the foreground and of course, the big pond is in the background.
All in all, the ponds turned out pretty cool. I like the way they look and I like how we have them set up.
It was a very busy day, and to top it off, I found signs of a beaver in our pond.
Turns out that there was one. And Eric was right, you only get one shot, but that was all I needed to shut him down. And now according to Santa, I do not need to shave again as now I am a mountain man!!
I have just one question for all the real mountain men out there, Is there an easier way to skin a beaver? (Pun intended!!)
All in all, in looks great, I am going to add water and erosion control matting this weekend!!
I think I'll start with FHM's in both the new ponds and go from there!!
I sure hope this doesn't go to George's head......
