Thanks all. I've taken big elk, mulies, antelope and coues. But this is my first really big whitetail.

A buddy and I are starting to plan a grizzly or brown bear hunt next year. But, I'm not sure I want to shoot a bear. I may back out of that.

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.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
