A note from vacation-land I guess I needed to clarify this a little more. Yes, the program usually uses more than a few bucks for the whole program (not quite 1-1, but close)... but, since the capability exists for the bucks to do more than one ... our first and formost goal is to get the hens as we have a Jan 31 deadline. A critical factor for us is the length of time the river can go out in January and ending up short. A note on the big bucks ... they take FOREVER to ripen up in most cases and the females we catch early on for this program are usually ripe long before them, so having a whole penful of big bucks isn't the best way to go ...
