Great reading from Bruce on habitat and management. I especially enjoyed the part about keeping the pigs alive and well and harvesting the smaller ones. Couple of things I didn`t know about habitat. Thanks for the reading.

no problem, just send em when you can.

Anyone else, if you want to add lake pictures to the site just mail them to me, [email protected].

Please, resize them for the web (i.e. 800x600 or 1200x800 and under 300kb per file).

Thanks!
