I have about a 2.5 acre pond that has a couple wet weather springs and other than that is just run off. So I don't turn over a bunch of water.
Would love to hear thoughts on a solar aeration (electricity is gonna be tough, but doable) to add some air to the pond and help the fish. It can get...
They're lean.
I've shot a couple and we always add a bunch of domestic pork fat to it. Then they're good.
When we're going here in a week or so, I'm hoping we can shoot a couple little ones and smoke the whole thing on the grill. That'd be cool.
I view it as different kinds of fun. I killed a deer with my compound this year and it was a lot of fun.
I also enjoyed watching a deer fold like a card table with my rifle.
I enjoyed watching my 13 year old shoot an antelope with a rifle too.
I killed a buck with a crossbow. It was fast and...
I can make the distinction. It's more difficult to get a deer killed with a compound than with a crossbow. I'm just saying it doesn't matter as much as you say it does. That's our own opinions.
I sat with my 8 year old as he killed his first deer this year. On a beautiful October evening. I...

Sure it's easier than a compound.
It also allows me to spend time with my kids in the woods and let them hunt earlier.
But if you put a gun to my head and...
Killed the biggest buck of my life this year with the crossbow.
Later killed a doe with my bow. Also enjoyed dropping a couple deer with a straightwall rifle like a sack of potatoes.
All part of the plan. I enjoy it. go have fun.
i ran a dropship ebay business in college and shortly after when I was just starting into the work force. I had more time than I do now.
Now, i'm better off spending that time investing in my main gig. It pays better.
Wanting to do a spring bear hunt in 2027 with my 13 year old. He likes to hunt, loves to fish. Thought a bear hunt in the evening and a fishing adventure during the day wouldn't be awful.
Would go somewhere in the lower 48, or something into Ontario. I'm in NE Ohio.
Any places you could...
truth be told, not sure what's going on. that spot is a bowl and had 7' high golden rod in it this year. But the deer activity isn;'t what the rest of the farm is. We're trying to diagnose it.
