They caught 19 bluegill and 3 bass. Sounds like they had fun. They also got to see a hen in main food plot and two deer in saddle food plot when they first got their. I think they have grown and done well in 3 years. What is your opinion?

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!" If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

I am going to attempt to dig a hole to put in a pipe to make a swivel arm and if I get that done then will have an automatic 30 gallon feeder. But that is a wait and see thing.
