New Pond Built ! - 05/31/08 07:49 PM
Hey guys, here are new pond pictures of the Playboy Bunny Pond “named by Eddie Walker” The dozer work has been completed, total time was 100 hours. From the beginning we designed this as a fishing pond with an island in the middle. Now all I need is rain, lol…what’s that in Texas time, October?
The Dam :
Here is the back side of the island with a deep “Z” cut :
Below the gray clay, we hit brown clay at 12 feet. Here is the left side of the island, it’s 13 ft. deep…the straight drop-off should make for some fun swimming.
Here is the peninsula at the back of the pond between the 2 rabbit ears :
This is the right ear, I will place a deer hunting stand at the end on the elevated ground. It will overlook a food plot once I get the tractor back there for some shredding & tilling :
Here is the left ear, it has a little bend to it :
Here is the west bank then the east :
Front of the pond, then the back :
Can’t wait to see this baby fill up ! What’s the first word in pond management…patience, I’ll wait…and throw in a few prayers along the way !
