Then the state stocked it for him for free. You do have to build them to state or fed grades and specs etc. Sometime messing with them is not worth it but, in this case i would advise anyone to check it out. This is a project they are normally excited to get behind.....

Thanks for the info! I did try to go through the govenment, but they no longer offer that stuff over here. One agent told me that they built too many lakes when the word got out, so now they leave it up to the owner.

Sounds like some interesting BBQ!! I'll probably stick with Turkey or Bass from our land, but you never know! If a coon becomes bothersome, he might just find himself on the grill!!!

Oh, and as for the tree huggers, I bet my pond creates more habitat, sanctuary, etc, than all of their talk. Imagine that, a Hummer owner who creates wildlife habitat and signs away develoment rights on the property for 15 years! I'd love to hear what their comeback would be.

Country folk, hunters, farmers, and land owners are the true conservationists. They live and know wilderness, unlike a bunch of city dwelling "environmentalists".

Would this be an offset to my "carbon footprint" ! What a bunch of Al Gore horse sh!t!!....

Alan that is a good thought about carbon point trade off. We all need to keep that in mind.

Alan You would be amazed at how many discussions that as a farmer I got into trying to get people to understand that I cared for the land more than the tree huggers. They could not even comprehend that I was very concerned with soil erosion and water contamination. I told they my little girls ran around in the dirt and my home was in the middle of where all the spraying was done. I told them that the land was in my blood it was my life. I had to take care of it so it would last generations so others could make a living from the land. It was just impossible it seemed for them to wrap their minds around the fact that I cared for the land and did more to protect the land than they did and I had done more to preserve it.

Well anyway You have it right. It is a shame the Gov. stopped a program that was really beneficial to the whole USA and really accomplished something.
Sorry You did not get to receive support.

I think most of us care more about the environment than the leaf lickers do. Let's face it, most leaf lickers live in the city and wouldnt know an oak tree from a cherry tree.

Funny story....last year we went to the Shriner's Circus that came to the Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh. Of course all the leaf lickers were protesting. Funny thing my wife pointed out...they had on leather coats and shoes...isnt that a double standard?....last time i checked leather comes from the hide of a cow right? Its typical liberal double standard BS.

Get this....now some a$$ in PA has legislation on the floor to make LAWFUL gun owners pay $10 PER GUN PER YEAR in addition to a whole litany of things such as finger printing etc.....how is that going to stop crime...do they really feel that the crooks are going to register their firearms?

OK rant done
