The pond is looking great! My only recommendation is to leave as much of the grass on the edge of the water unmowed. That will create some habitat for insects and such to further help feed your bass and bait fish. A 2’ wide strip, even around just a portion of the shore would be beneficial

[@meikasroom851]

With the deer, I'd recommend leaving the big doe's that have made your farm home alone. They will draw in big bucks from miles around and make the others feels safe. The bucks are looking good

[@danieldavismusic]

Love that peaceful nightlapse with the ambient sounds of the pond.

[@TheBoognish7]

As an aquarium person, I'd say you're better off just running water from the pond to the stock tank and letting it drain back into the pond. The pond's biofiltration is better than anything you could use and it keeps the water conditions(temp/PH/nitrogen) the same as the pond. I'd also add something to shade the stock tank. It'll heat up more quickly than your pond.

[@christophersmith0865]

[@Movetheproduct]

[@eleonordrisitasiotys7533]

For hunting, doing it as needed seems to be good. As you said Whitetails can get overpopulated quickly and cause havoc. Sometimes even if you don't want to hunt, it is the responsible thing to do in order to ensure the pond's ecosystem stays healthy for years to come!

[@troy1594]

So much appreciated you guys taking us on this journey. One of my favorite series!

[@Average_Brad]

What I appreciate most about this series is your commitment to being a responsible steward for the land and animals in your care. Sometimes being a good steward means keeping populations in check, so I'd say a hunt could certainly be a healthy thing for the deer population, especially if there are no natural predators doing the job. Alternatively, cutting back on the feed a bit may be a more passive way to keep the population under control.

[@eriklarson9137]

Sometimes being a good steward means keeping populations in check - No. It ALWAYS means keeping populations in check. Always. Just because there are ninnys who are afraid of hunting, that does not change the reality of the world, and the circle of life one iota.

As an Idahoan who witnessed our very first case of CWD just a few months back, you should definitely think about getting that herd thinned out! CWD is spreading fast through the country and large herds are responsible. Too many deer in such a small area is an equation for disaster if CWD does get into your county.

[@conradnelson5283]

Oh crap. Did not know about that. Another thing to worry about.

@@jheiny1231 CWD spreads between animals through body fluids like feces, saliva, blood, or urine, either through direct contact or indirectly through environmental contamination of soil, food or water.

@@martingomez8142 They can sometimes get too large for bass to consume, as they are fast growing and repopulate quickly. In addition, they bottom forage and can potentially eat eggs, bass eggs for example. Due to their fast reproduction and growth, they can populate faster and out compete bass for food, nesting areas, and alter surrounding ecosystem.

[@stevep7129]

I've been following your channel since you dug the hole. Love it. Keep sharing the adventure. As a land owner and hunter, I have found great information at the KZbin channel for the Mississippi State Deer Lab. Herd management is important and necessary. In your shoes, I would estimate the herd size and develop a harvest plan. There are professionals that can do that for you as well. Who gets to hunt... I'd probably narrow it down to veterans, single mom families, and otherwise challenged individuals... and of course some first timers. Providing that experience for those people will enrich your life. It has mine.

[@thomasmackey6760]

I think it is a good idea to manage your wildlife. Like a crop. Limited harvest of specific deer or wild pigs or Ducks or Geese is good for the overall heath of the ecosystem. This can often be done in a way that creates an income that then can be used to maintain and enhance the system. Beautiful spaces like the one you are creating tend only exist as long as they paid for themselves,

Listen I'm a avid hunter, and think it would be awesome to manage your deer a little. However I wouldn't mess with it unless they become a real problem. Deer are smart and if you allow a hunt or two, make sure it's done as far away as possible from the areas you like to feed, you have to find out where they are coming and going from the property at you don't want them to start thinking your property is dangerous, they will become very elusive. I've had that problem on my own land. I had a very large herd and took out 3 of them out of 20-25 and did not hardly see them again for almost a whole year. 7 years later, I still never see them as a whole group anymore, only 5-6 at a time.
