ND Mike Hunting them has always been on my bucket list. Been looking in to it for maybe next year!

RON PARRISH - I don’t see a tire, I see Backstrap and eggs. Getting close to hunting season.
lkrfletcher It is very good but I think the whitetail deer we shoot in MN are about as good. Also had a friend give me meat from an Oryx and that is very good too.

RON PARRISH it is a tough but rewarding hunt.

Came across this. Thought others would be interested.RON PARRISH I saw it too. I thought, I bet he lost 50 pounds instantly & felt like he could fly.

RON PARRISH there is an elk ranch in the New Paris, Ohio area. They sell vac sealed meat. Its kind if pricey, but it would give you a chance to try it if your up to the drive. I believe the name is Quiet Harmony Elk ranch.

Over the weekend I was practicing my fly-casting (beginner). Every cast I’d catch bluegill like this one and slightly bigger from my pond. No trophies here but at least I was catching something. I now know I have a thick breeding population of bluegill with no predatory fish in my pond. It’s a small pond so it’s going to be tough to manage but I think a handful of bass would do it some good.

RafterW The bass might help with the smaller bluegill but then they will move up to bigger ones unless you supply them with smaller fish.

RafterW maybe you should check with those professionals a few miles down the road from you.

RafterW some decent sized crappie would take care of the smaller bluegills.

Week and a half before the deer opener in MN, getting things ready to go. My wife said I was like a kid at Christmas and I can’t disagree. Get together with my brothers and this year a brother in law and nephew. Brothers have been hunting together for 50 years, every once and a while something got in the way for one of us, but now we all make it.

bocephus Know the feeling. Heading for some pig’s and such with my brothers. Looking forward to spending time together. Maybe next year we can have another couple be able to join us. Schedules always getting in the way during the fall, fishing in the spring seems to work out better. It is great getting together and now adding a kid or two as things progress, making memories.

cdavis yeah, I’d love some crappie. The problem with white and black crappie is that they are very prolific. They would eat really well for a bit and over breed, which stunts their growth. It would be the same problem I’m having with the bluegill. There is a hybrid variety that can be found at certain fish farms, which are mostly sterile. About 40 of them in my pond would be perfect. The problem is that the closest farm to me that I’ve been able to find them at is not close at all…Little Rock, AR.

RafterW But, then you might end up with just one big Bass, for a while…

calldoctoday very true. fisheries management is a delicate dance, especially with a small pond. As a fun project, I might have 6 rainbow trout stocked in it this fall and try to catch them through the spring. The water will eventually warm to the point that they won’t survive, even being spring fed, but it would be something different to try to catch for around our part of the world.

bocephus hunting with family is great
. Have fun and good luck to all of you -
cdavis Thanks, as we get older it has become more important to us. We are lucky that all of our wives are very understanding because we are gone for two to three weeks.
