Rodney, I'll call some of the local TWRA guys here in Paris that I know tomorrow and try to find out a bit more about what they were doing. Here is a link to the exact location. http://www.infosports.com/parks/TN/1503197.html The little dot thingy is exactly where they were doing the spraying.
Right Rick, i dont have any problem with them clearing it out some but i do have a problem with them killing it out the way they did it in the ninties. That looks like they are going in that direction if they are spraying from BIRD.
You boys dont know what ur asking for... If they dont kill it off every few years it will be like the watershed lakes that the grass takes over and then kills all the fish.. I will be making phone calls tomorrow too...Sorry guys..Swerve I will help pay the fuel for the combine http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif
You guys are just mad that you cant smoke the grass.. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif
Have I got a deal for you. I'll help you out by giving you a deal on a combine for your new venture. I need to get rid of this one anyway. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif

You're comparing are large river lake (KY) to a watershed?
http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif Ok let it grow and see what you end up with... Compare it to what ever you want.. Some like it.. Some dont.
Let's go half and half. You guys take the west side and we'll take the east. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/glasses.gif

Yup, I think you're right. I'm guessing the grass in the refuge was waaaaay thick and they're just trying to thin it out for the fall migrations. They probably spray it every year.

I would like to know how killing the grass benefits waterfowl, most of them feed on aquatic vegatation. Who was doing the spraying? Does the KY or TN DNR know about it? And as a biologist I can tell you that grass in a lake never killed a fish, no matter how thick it was. Every clump of grass in the water increases the capacity of that body of water to support wildlife from microscopic to moose size.

It was me...I rented a Heli and got some 2 4 d and roundup and went to work. You guys and your grass.. I hope it takes over the lake to the point you cant put your boats in.. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/glasses.gif Nothing like pulling your boat out of the lake then having to crawl under it and get all that stinky azz grass off. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif

U got a deal, Jay..............can you caulk up the windows so I dont get wet?? http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
Were there any kind of markings on the helicopter? TVA? DNR? Anything? I'm just wondering if it was a legit operation... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/ohwell.gif
I just made a few calls and the KY Fish and Wildlife doesnt know any thing about it right now, but they are checking into it as we speak.
If it was south of Paris, wouldn't a call to the Tennessee Department of Natural Resources be in line rather than Ky?
