In the stand for the pm. Probably one of my all time favorite spots. Corn to my north and fresh winter wheat to the south and I'm in the tunnel in between the two. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Sucks Jeff, we have all been there.

Mike Connerton and the NYDECs fin clipping study concluded that pen rearing did not help imprinting. Imprinting was just as successful in pen reared fish as direct stocked fish. During the study there was very little evidence to point suggesting fish were straying to the Salmon River. Some did but the percentages were very small. In the study they also concluded that there is a 2 to 1 survival (rate pen vs direct stock). Although I would have liked to see double the amount of data years, a lot of assumptions are now in place from the study. That study changed our focus in pen rearing to concentrate on survival. Since then we have pushed hard to hold more pen reared fish annually, better food, feeders, ect.

October 6 pm 67 degrees South wind 20 mph becoming west Cloudy Occasional sprinkle Once again deer every where and often. 15-20. One 2.5 year old buck and rest does and fawns. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Right spot. Wrong deer. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Deer have been on their feet since I got here. All does so far. Food has been the priority and a variety at that. Squash, apples, wheat. Turkeys too! Great to see them. Numbers gave really been down for the past ten years. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
