Its a shame how many mechanically good vehicles get junked because the body is shot. Very nice place you have out there. Hard to believe it is the same state my 1/4 acre is in.

I remember that last picture from a cut and fill turn around you posted a few years back. That's a real nice pond you have there...do you treat it in the summer?

I don't do much to the pond maybe once in a while remove some surface weeds but with all the swimming and boating going on it is pretty much maint. free. stocked with LMB, BG. sunnies, trout (brook) perch and some cats and grass carp (to eat the weeds).
Spring fed in 3 spots and 1 spring flows at a rate of 2 gallons a minute year round, and is about 52 degrees always.

Ours is spring fed too but the algae to starting to be a problem in the summer. We use to use an algaecide from Ciba-Geigy it was OK for fish, wildlife, and livestock but you can't find it around here anymore...I dunno I was toying with the idea of a water fountain to see if that helps. Anyways... nice pics.

Is this your full time residence or just a vacation spot? 63 acres is a pretty nice spread-certainly enough to do a lot of hunting on!

Try some barley bales and place near the spring it may help or put in some grass carp...

We live here year round but it started as just a hunting camp. land around here is still fairly cheap.. 500-2k an acre.
