Saw 2 toms in the woods today. We have too few birds for me to hunt them yet.
We have been continuously discouraging possums and raccoons from hanging around our place, and turkey numbers have increased. Most mornings we could hear five or six gobblers, and the game cameras showed groups of up to a dozen. They had a decent hatch last year. Hopefully even better this year. After the big wind storm last winter knocked down 100s of trees, there’s a lot of cover. We’ve even got a few quail.
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these. I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023
