We're in KC at the moment, probably less than a hour from you? His AAU team in a tournament up here.

They do stay longer than tall, and bass do love them. Although... I find more crawdads in stomachs than GS, I almost never find bluegill inside a bass. Sometimes observations don't line up with conventional wisdom. The white crappie (I was holding in front of me in the pic) measured just...

The antlered doe was in perpetual velvet, and never seemed to gain any size to her antlers. The deer I've been getting pics of this yr is a mystery. I'm hopeful it's a doe, and I'm hopeful it's the start of some crazy non-typical. Can't really go wrong unless it just disappears.

I'd jump on the offer to help burn Foggy! That's a very generous offer and... man does burning help! Increases plant nutrition and palability. Very short video. Worth the watch. Living with cattle and deer I observe deer mimicking the cattle's love of burns.

Lol, KS isn't much for anything getting big! Actually double digit bass are very rare. I've known a few guys who have caught 10's, but they are more scarce than 200 inch bucks. We're too far north for Florida genetics, so it's all Northerns. I've landed several 9's but still searching for...

We've been very fortunate to have great fishing with some real lunkers being caught over the last 10yrs or so!

You have the same strategy I'd have with your pond; vegetation around 30% of pond, harvest 20lbs per acre of bass (per yr), all crappie, and all green eared sunfish. Do you have a lot of stunted crappie? Crappie and green sunfish have big enough mouths to eat what bass should be eating...

Use them for bait. The big pond has them but we don't catch them often. They don't seem to be a detriment in that pond. Some of the other ponds are over ran with them, so that's where we bait fish.

I'm not sure it's a buck. There was an antlered doe at one of my hunting spots for several yrs. Less than 10 miles from my place. I watcher her raise several fawns, so she wasn't infertile. I've only got one deer mount and probably won't get another unless it's an antlered doe. Will have to...

They aren't mean (unless you grab one), but they aren't afraid of ya either. I've had them slide over my foot before. Caught them on pole. Dangle a lure in front of them and they'll strike. It's a pain in ass to get them unhooked though. Easier to just shoot them.

Sorry, I forgot to give you an answer. He played with PhD Hoops. Was a great trip, and he loved the coaching. We have plenty of snakes, but not usually like what I posted. The kid had that one perch out of the water and within 30 seconds there were 4 snakes chasing it. I used to...

Got a deer I'm curious about. Spends most of it's time with does. Can't quite tell what's on it's head. Every once in a while I get a buck with a goofy side, or some damage in velvet, but this one might be a true NT?

I almost mentioned bullheads and goldfish, but didn't. Can't go wrong with any of them!

The rain has been phenomenal! It's a green eared sunfish. Absolutely wonderful bait! Lots of pond owners don't like them as they can take over to the point that they'll eat bass fry, and eat all the food that the bass would eat (they have big mouths). Bluegill have a smaller mouth and...
