Thread: Walking the lake bottom yesterday...

Actually the cages were put there as an effort to keep deer from munching that particular area of vegetation that Mississippi State planted as a project.The areas that were disked have some type of aquatic vegetation in them.Curious to see what will emerge from those plots!

There are a bunch of em in Longbranch

Now see...that's what I was thinking. Why put something like that in a place where boats and motors operate? I figured there had to be a good reason, and making a bed is surely a good reason (whether it's good enough or not I'm not saying), but keeping a deer from eating something? I'm not in charge, so whatever makes the smart people happy, I guess.

BigBlue, the ones I saw were in Longbranch.
