Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
our quotas and limits change alot and by which area of the state your in and if your northern or southern zone. Know i can tag one antlered with bow and one antlered with rifle. State tried to ban antlerless in my part of the state cause the wolves are decimating the herds but it didn't pass, and antlerless tags are first come first serve until sold out.
Bear, elk, fisher and spring turkey are lottery's.
My archery also doesn't allow crossbows.

have to pay extra for that here and up until a couple years ago it was disabled hunter only. i have never had a xbow, have shot long, recurve, compound since i was 5yo, currently use a Hoyt
 
Afternoon peeps. Lost a couple of my auctions. Just won a playoff game for football, one more and we will have a state title. Currently on my way to my grandma's house to help her with some stuff since my grandpa got knee surgery.
 
Good morning everyone. I got a doe for the freezer yesterday afternoon after a very scary incident envolving a tree stand that I was in falling right as I was getting ready to climb into the seat area. So thankful my husband was still at the base of the stand and the good Lord gave him the strength to hold me and the stand both up until I managed to climb back down. If I had fallen all the way I would have fallen about 20ft and been really hurt or worse because there are lots of big rocks and trees that I would have hit on the way down. Can I get a recap of yesterday from our group? Internet is slow here.
Glad your ok!
 
Welp I just found what's left of my rainbow BTAS. The last survivor has just popped up, I'm happy but worried too because it's probably going to die. Look at the pictures below is there any way for it to recover?

I have a Hoyt Powermax but I use my PSE Evoke 35 lately. I've got an old Bear recurve but I have a 32" draw and a 54 pound 30" recurve tends to be a very heavy pull at my draw length. I do own a crossbow for fun and I have considered using it on my black powder hunts.

It's not dead but it's not happy. At least the mouth isn't gaping. Not sure what you can do for it at this point but it could survive.

About the size of a dime? What are your tank parameters? How old is the tank?

Is it still holding on tightly to the rock? At this point, I would be giving it life support: direct feed a slurry of foods like ROE+PacPods+little bit of phyto. Can also use planktonic dried food in a paste like reef roids or reef jerkey. See if I can eat. If the little tentacles aren't sticky, i.e., can't hold onto food or nonresponsive, I would very carefully take it out for a dip in ciprofloxacin (always have to look up the concentration), and probably do this daily--at this point putting it in a nem cup or mushroom box is easiest for taking it in and out for dips.

Hard to being them back once they are small and no longer sticky, but not impossible!

Will do. I have brine shrimp.. not sure if it's holding tightly to the rock I could try to move it.

I wouldn't. If it's holding on, you don't want to damage it's foot either.
 
Thanks for the invite, currently down and out with covid :angry-face: . Staying in all weekend but I appreciate you informing me of these local events that I would not know were occurring. Hopefully the next one.

I won't. Luckily it's in the front of the tank so I can monitor it. Would brine shrimp work?
