The hole wasn't filled. A couple of eggs were broken. One was out of the hole but not broken. Several were still in the hole but I didn't check to see if they were intact or not. Didn't goof with them much.

Been a while since updating...
My milo plot is doing well. Deer have shifted from staying in the rye/clovers/alfalfa plot, and started hitting the milo plot.

The youngest spent the last couple of weeks in France for a tournament. Somehow he always ends up with the flag. The boat ride was the same one they did in the opening ceremony of the Olympics. Pretty cool trip for him!

Got him back and we spent the weekend on a fishing spree. My favorite bait was plentiful (had to fight the snakes for them... could barely get a fish out of the water before multiple serpents were on it.), bass were biting, and cats were eager.

And I loaned my caller to some high school kids who spent the weekend hammering yotes! Sounds like they had a blast.

The snakes give some people the creeps Foggy, but unless you're a small fish they're harmless.
Build this the other day. Told the wife it was for her, but really I just needed a place to wash the mud off before coming in. Someday I'll finish this place!

Some of the rock was quarried on the place. I wanted to incorporate as much of the land's history in our place as I could. 1880-1890's Russians annd Germans did the stone work. Amazing what they did with hand tools and horses. To cut the stones they hand hammer drilled holes and let freeze cycles split the stone.

The snakes are crazy. Is there that many of them in your pond? What team was playing for that he got to go over seas?

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 don't compete with bass for food.

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

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?
You sure it's a buck? I had one several years ago that started out as a 8 point in velvet in Oct. Never had a fawn but was around till the age of ten. She mostly was a forkhorn. Usually froze off most her rack. Was hard horned one year. Took me forever to get a pic from behind.

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 occasionally throw a fish on the dock while the bite was hot so that I could catch a 2nd fish before pulling the stringer out. Invariably I'd turn around and have a snake up on it.

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.

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 see if it sticks around this fall what happens.
