Mike...sorry it took so long to respond...been one of those months....yes there are some nice fish in the "pit"..i call it that because when the interstate came through they dug this massive pit for an overpass and now we are blessed with a place to fish locally....we lease the land and pit from a landowner and created the fishing club it works well but managment can always improve or have new ideas so im just trying to keep every member happy..."trying"...thanks again for the input and we are having a meeting to throw some ideas around...i have an email in to DNR and am awaiting response but its gettin to b that time to start thinkin about gettin combines ready for harvest and bucks and ducks will b cruisin...thanks again!!

killer....it is a membership based pay lake so i can only give limits to fish and cant make people throw them back...i am wanting to put somewhat of a slot limit or a size limit on large mouth for this very reason..if you want to eat bass go ahead but i feel that the 6 pounders out there are more of a good sport fish for catch a release...so if anyone has any input please feel free to reply and killer..yes i agree..id take crappie and even channel cats over bass.

hey all who ever has an opinion or suggestion!!...I am the president of a fishing club that has an 8 acre fishing pond that is a very old body of water that has some very nice fish in it. to get to the point I am hashing around a size and bag limit on our largemouth bass..any suggestions!!??...the other day a member caught a 6.5 lbs. large mouth and kept it after me tryng to get him to take pics and measurements and throw it back...also he had on 2 other dinks on his stringer as well...if its decent size crappie or channel cats ...great keep em..im all for catching, eating, and also releasing fish but iwould love to put a limit on this....Central Indiana...big catfish and largemouth bass!!..any ideas and again thanks!!

thanks for the reply wasnt sure maybe thinkin about sellin it just have heard the old timers talk alot about the old high countries and always thought itd be cool to have one didnt know much about them thanks again.

just came across an old high country supreme...dont know much about older bows but i do know some things about new ones...it has the hatchet cams and a 29 inch draw length with 70 lbs. any suggestions on what to do with it ..i have been shooting my mathews outback for some years now but my neighbor asked me if i wanted it when he was cleaning out the garage...just somthin to talk about and throwing that out there!!

sunday nov. 1 was a great morning for me...had 9 does come under my stand and fed out to an alfalfa field...the last deer was the ten pointer grunting and pushing his way there that i just dropped off at the taxidermist....25 yds. qutring away he didnt go 50 yds...mathews strikes in early nov. i love it...boone county!!!

Heres the issue...been using mouth calls for 3 years now and by no means am i a professional but i will say sitting in front of the computer with audio on mimicing turkey calls helps alot!!! but one issue im running into is the flock purring and putting sound...have mastered the cluck and yelps but i cant seem to grasp the purring...any tips hints...different size reeds, cuts of reeds, etc...?..thanks...oh and indiana season is the 22 of this month...cant get here soon enough

sorry may be a dumb question but .....and im sure it is legal to kill two...2.....birds????...im from indiana and we can just kill one...got my first bird this year as well been hunting for two ...congrats man!!!

thats awsome

bummer guys......got a call bout half an hour ago from the guy who processes and he was nice but said sorry man that deer is bad.......so after work im on my wayup there to drag her out once again.....she wasnt bloated this morning but he is a prof. meat cutter and has been for years so he knows his stuff...just makes me sick.....i dressed her and didnt realy smeel anyhting out of the ordinary but guess thats when you say you learn somthing every day...question for you all tho....i tagged her there and did all i needed to do...do i lose that tag???if i do i understnad but just kinda bummed out about the whole deal...by the way it only got down to about 57 last night........

yea theres more to the story but i didnt want to drag it out with you guys...my uncle was with me and my younger cousin...first time hunter and hes in 6th grade...by 9:30 he was saying dad...dad. lets go when we leaving..so finally we relaised the blood wasnt so good and that we'd get her in teh a.m. i knew it was a good hit but ive never seen a deer go that far being shot the way i hit her..ive got a pic ill post it later!

Guys ..and gals... shot a doe last night a big one at that...heres the story....i was hunting over a double crop bean feild that has great scrapes on the ground and good sign everywhere.....here in indiana there is alot of grren leaves i mean alot and i didnt ahve the best shooting lanes into the field but i had good ones in teh woods...about 6:30 my dad is calling me and my phone vibrates my stand so i pull it out and shut it off, just as im doing this i notice movement in the beans and shes coming my way....im thinkin to myself the only place i realy didnt want ehr to come but shes comin anyways.....i hit my yardage finder in my one spot and its 23 yds....draw back and wait she hits the spot and i hit the release....she was slightly quartered to me and i hit one lung and passed through...she ran about 150 yds and disapeared int he woods, good blood at first but then lost it and it was getting dark...i pulled out..didnt sleep , and at first light i went back in and found her not 40 yds from where we pulled out...dressed, tagged, in the cooler...first time ive ever left one out over night in the woods...this made for a ling night but my uncle and i have an experience we will never forget!!!
