he would likely be minus his rack from the rodent adventures before his head got good and clean , the rodents in these parts eat horns right quickly for the calcium content .

no doubt my friend , done drove lots further a few times myself to ketch crappie on an invite . of course being a guest and not wanting to push "my luck" it hasnt been a spot that I bring others to visit with me just yet , the owner is right friendly and would and or possibly will let me bring guests at some point in time is my guess though ,so stay tuned ,it could happen

you know after being told only 2 lakes or ponds out of 14 on his place hold crappie , the one with the dead buck was "supposed" to be only bass and bluegill .....in 2 short visits I managed to ketch several crappie in it and a golden shiner along with the bass and bluegill .
this coupled with the fairly heavy amount of visitors makes me think there is likely other ponds or lakes there with crappie in them as well ,due to the lets toss a few crappie in this pond to help it out folks out there .
its such a large place it will likely take me a good while to find out what other waters there have them and or do not , one thing for certain though , even with the over abundance issues there is possibly a big ole granddaddy crappie in one of them spots for sure ....
come on gramps is the word ...

one spot years ago a buck dropped at night after i saw him with horns the evening before , when he was near there the next am, i went looking for his rack . found it with nibble marks already all on the tips just a few hours after sunrise .
seen squirrels reduce a spike to nothing in 2 days on my fence at my place as well and hear tell porcupines love them to ...

my wife and daughter and grandson along with H are the only ones that have been there so far .
they have all got the ok to go with me , it is likely he won't tell me no on guests ,but at the same time I am trying not to push my luck

They will do the same here. Just not a quickly. The little Bulldog will work on a piece until it gets to small and we take it away from him.
