Another great mount from Wildwood Taxidermy!

Food plots in, pond and lake are full! We’ve been blessed with more rain! The pond has been a wildlife magnet for a clear clean source of water.

Corn in E fence up! Fence will come down In December to ensure a good food source available December-February when food is scarce and the weather is bad. Part of the puzzle to hold big bucks, turkey’s, pheasants and other wildlife on the property.

Five + acres of native Iowa prairie grass restoration planted around the pond and the dam two years ago. Last year the growth stalled out due to the severe drought however this year it’s been a gift of extra rainfall.
This is the second native grass planting completed and it takes 3-4 years for the blue stem to take off. Next year we will burn this
to pop the remainder of the seed pods slightly below the dirt and to fertilize the new growth. The heat from the grass burn pop open the seed pods. The wildlife enjoy the safety of the thick tall grass of blue & Indian stem, food source from the switching grass seeds, flowering clover, daises and coneflowers. We also planted a few cedars, chestnut, three pin oaks for additional food source and shade near the water.

Boom it’s official, Mother Nature blessed us with more rain to reach our maximum pond depth! What’s next you say? That would be a fishing deck platform for the kids. 🎣

One of our hunters harvested a once in a lifetime eye horn buck during late muzzleloader season January 24. Patience paid off when this old buck strolled into our corn field late one afternoon. Alabama was hunting hard all week and passed on several big boys. A weather front starting rolling in and with a wind shift and the barometer change we took a chance on an alternate approach to this area. Not sure who was more excited the hunter from Alabama who shot the deer or myself. A special thanks to Matt at Wild Wood Taxidermy in Davenport Iowa for the outstanding mount!

Mother Nature has blessed us with a big February snowfall and recent rains to help overcome some of the drought of 22-23. This has filled our pond to within 8 inches of the 39’ depth to the overflow tube. Fishing stocking has been completed with the exception of crappie which will now be done with local genitics. Bass, Walleye, perch and bluegill continue to grow and the water is very clear. Fishing and swimming very soon! Here is a few pictures of the progress…

Oh boy we are excited! The pond continues to creep up to our goal of 39’ deep and with much needed rain in the forecast we might hit that mark very soon. The pond has been designed so the runoff is filtered by native Iowa prairie grass and rip rock. Also the natural deep artesian springs feed this pond so it’s crystal clear. Stay tuned next week for our wood duck nesting box installation. 🦆 🏠

Wow the pond depth at 37’ today and only 24” to the overflow tube! And we have a pair of Canadian Geese nesting. Fish hatchery fattening up the crappie that should ship to us in a few weeks. Next pond projects would be a nesting platform for the geese, nesting box for ducks and a fishing deck. 🦆 🦆 🪿 🎣 I can’t wait to see all the kids catching fish!

Just a little rain…

03/15/2024

Big rains jumped the pond 24” Thursday. That’s 36” so far this year but we have a lot of volume for the next 4’ to the 39’ overflow tube. Bring on the spring rain 🐋 🐳 crappie stocking in 3 weeks!

Love the results of this pond! Surrounded by many acres of runoff thru clover, cone flowers, native Iowa prairie grass then rip rock and ice cold spring fed water it’s been a huge success attracting wildlife from deer, small mammals, turkeys, ducks, hawks and eagles. And the fish stocking last fall with phase two of crappie in 4 weeks. The wildlife this pond attracts is absolutely amazing. Next project 7 acres of flowers for bees, insects Turkey specific habitat.

Every year a goose makes its nest on the roof of our lake blind. If you look close she has arrived and the nest building process has began. 🪺It will take her some time to get this completed and we’ll check the progress again soon.

As the hunting season winds down to mid winter and we dream of shed hunting, spring fishing, turkey hunting, food plots, kayaking, duck blind renovation, habitat expansion and more. It’s been one heck of of year doing what we love to do!

Alabama getting it done today with the smoke pole! Absolutely a once in a lifetime old stud buck and a bucket list Iowa freak, checkout that awesome 13 point rack and the antler growing out of the left eye. It was an awesome experience to be able to guide this hunter all week to make this memory. The enjoyment of the outdoors this week for both of us was incredible and he put some venison in the freezer. And to top it off his old buddy Phil traveled to meet up with his friend for dinner today. 💨 🦌 ❤️
