Augie, glad you’re feeling better. We have been lucky with the Covid. Have dodged it so far. Probably helps that we are natural hermits.

I got to spend some time in a ladder stand with my grandson. Five hours of nonstop conversation. I must have said, “let’s try to whisper” about 100 times. Lol. I ended up taking a big doe that evening. Came out behind us on my left. No shot for the little guy. Just about time shooting hours ended. He helped me drag her in. He’s just not strong enough to hold that rifle steady. If it’s not out front where he can rest his rifle on a shooting rail, he just has to wait. [Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]


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.
