Sorry its been a while, but I have been on the road for three weeks working. Had a great trip, saw lots of clients, Visited with old friends, got lots of work done, but it was hot and getting hotter out here in Texas! Besides a week collecting data for our Georgia Pacific research project, I visited several client's waterbodies in Alabama, Georgia, Florida and now in Mississippi to collect water chemistry data. All short reports are done and new estimates have been already been sent.
I installed some fish attractors at Ochwalkee Creek Plantation. These have become very popular with our clients. They last forever and are virtually snag-less. We build them on site and deploy in 24 hours. The duck or goose decoy marker helps you find them to fish later. I also had a great catfish fry there with fish we caught in short order one afternoon with my good friend Jeff. There is nothing better than pond fishing and country fish fry. If you haven't tried it in a while do so, as it will bring back great memories, and get your kids involved to create new ones!
Not many quality photo opportunities this trip, except this doe that seems to have no fear of humans. She let me walk within about 10 yards while she was in a food plot, and she walked by me at about 5 yards.
Next week I will be working for Allen Ducks Unlimited. This is my third and final year as Area Chairman and it has been enjoyable, rewarding, but a lot of work. Our banquet is Thursday August 5th, and if you live nearby, please come and enjoy yourself and help raise money for wetland restoration and conservation, including the Gulf Coast cleanup.
