I have the exactly the same thoughts 😂 I have no interest in fish or fishing but have watched every episode since the start.

Ok, for me, I love fish. I have 9 smaller aquariums. I have loved fishing all my life, yet I live in California where it is a dry and thirsty land with no water. I love kayaks, and used to own one younger catching mostly Bass in it. So, for me, this is a beautiful dream!

[@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]

Was thinkin the same thing

[@Aria432]

No

[@eleonordrisitasiotys7533]

Yes good idea but TREAT the water of the tank because some fish might have viruses so gotta let the water rest for a week or more and treat it the first day then should be good

[@redoakoutdoors3936]

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

[@imdeadinside792]

Yea definitely. Particularly if he plants a load of native wildflowers etc that will get so many insects around

[@mainemermaid6596]

The ducks are going to muck up that pond fast. You'll really need water cleaning plants along the edges, and airation (a fountain of some kind), and to treat the water with sludge and other pond chemicals (on a schedule) to keep the water clean & healthy. Also, don't forget salt licks for the deer.

[@SkyeAten]

I was thinking the same thing. Needs some plants to keep the water clean (native species of course)

[@pace7029]

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!

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]

Its been running threw the country for years. Cwd travels threw infected water ways. Usually streams carry it to other areas from heavy rains.

@@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. It’s proven to spread faster in densely populated groups of deer. When our first case of CWD hit in Idaho the state opened an emergency season to thin herds and get a better understanding of how far it had already spread

In response to hunting there: i think you should look into having a biologist/ecologist look at your property and populations to inform what and how much to hunt. It would be pretty cool to see. Maybe just bow hunting to avoid conditioning the animals to be scared as much

[@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.

[@andrewgilbreath1331]

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.

@@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.

I think keeping hunting to an as-needed basis isn’t a bad plan. Keeping an eye on their population and behavior like you have been means you’ll know if they start getting over-populated.

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.

Tip of the trade: Use clove oil as a anesthetic for the bass when tagging. Much more cost effective option and works very well. Also it's all natural. Awesome videos keep it up!

Hello from Fort Worth, TX! Love every bit of your content 💪💪

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi.... Thank you for showing your video fish pond 👕🐠🎣 🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍

[@user-zt7hv4ci6i]

Yeah the goldfish become a problem for local ponds and reservoirs. Goldfish actually can outgrow your bass and there’s no easy way to get them out. They’re not a good bait fish. I enjoy watching these videos, I have my own pond though it’s a lot smaller than your lake. I get good ideas from you, I’m going to be adding more forage.

I'm no fish expert, but im guess there's atleast a chance that one fish could multiply lol

You’re living many fishermen’s dreams!

[@eallen7772]

I am so excited...haven't even watched yet but I know it's gonna be good. Look at that clear kayak/boat!!!!

[@ashleygonzales304]

This is really inspiring I plan on building A one acer pond in the distant future your success gives me hope that I to can build something great like what you have

[@jgivens1227]

Just love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing. Awesome to see the coyotes and deer “together “. Please take care and be safe

[@Tacos1230]

I would not like to see a hunt, so far I am enjoying the slice of peaceful wildlife you’ve created.

[@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,

Really enjoying this series!!! Wish I had enough property to do the same thing!!!

Great way to end my weekend! Loving the journey of this ride

[@wescordray948]

A good management hunt would be awesome for the herd. Take out some of the smaller bucks or cull bucks and a few does for meat. Get with a biologist and they can give you a report based on number of deer on how many need to be taken. Stay safe for this coming hurricane even though it looks to be headed to FL.

what a cool video. we got to see all kinds of stuff happening on the farm. keep up the good work. Moby is pretty dang ferocious.

[@jamiebaynes9488]

Great video. I love the underwater video and the night time video. Keep them coming and keep filming.

[@rwoodyjo]

I love the idea of hunting for wildlife management purposes. Could be a really great series with experts/resource management pros! I have absolutely loved the pond series!

[@BrodieBassin]

This was a great video. I thought the duck house looked awesome. I would for sure hunt so the deer don't get over populated.

[@jamesagne6239]

Wow. Amazing, thank you for giving my dreams great ideas. Lol beautiful.

[@bennycortez7930]

My respect to you keep up the good work.

[@julianm62598]

I've been following since the beginning and this is amazing how far its come. I'm from new york so I don't really see open land and space that often but I find it beautiful. Wish we could see the night sky like that here. this channel is awesome and I vote yes for the hunt!
