Land owner tags are the most mis understood, abused and un enforced tags Iowa has. Read the regulations on who qualifies.
Buy a farm to hunt on and cash rent the tillable, you don’t qualify. The exception is enrolling in crp.
Landowner or tenant (renter) qualifies not both and are only...
Sun flower stalks are hard on tires. My BIL’s family farms in central South Dakota, they run stalk stompers on the combine and grain cart tractor. His dad said they ruined a set of tires on a 9000 series JD in one season on a 1000 acres of sunflowers before they went to the stompers.

If you know the coyote hunters casually let them know you have taken up trapping and are a huge fan of snares and conibear trail sets. Keep a few traps and snares in your truck to show them.
I grew up in a family that raised sheep and dogs running got shot without a second thought. The coyote...
I’m in the same boat as muddyrem, finding a few ehd deer every year for at least the last ten years. We got hammered in 2019 as well, lost some great genetic young bucks and a pile of does.
2020 was still a good year with several bucks 160 up to 190 killed in my area. Since then it has been...
I pulled the card on my corn pile camera saturday after a week soak. 75 percent of the bucks I have coming in shed last week. I picked up 3 yesterday and one on a short walk tonight.

I wish I could help but I don’t know variety’s. I have several neighbors that raise alfalfa and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to which field they favor year to year. They might hammer one field for a winter or two then move to a field half a mile away the next year.

I’m in mahaska county south of Des Moines. 90% of the bucks on camera are still packing. This one was 20 feet from where I feed corn every day

If you want land and can afford the payments buy it when the right piece comes along. Comparing ROI to the stock market or other investments is foolish, there is way more to owning land than cash value.
There is so much money being spent on wants not needs right now it’s ridiculous. Look at...
Congratulations. I never could trap coyotes, putting in a good set requires patience and I lack that. Oddly there are very few coyotes in my neighborhood.

The wind blew this snow so hard there is almost none on the high spots, bare dirt showing in a lot of bean fields.
I saw a small bunch of pheasants out feeding this afternoon on the way home from work.

Great bunch of bucks. I have seen the same thing feeding this time of year, and I only own 20 acres of timber and pasture. EHD hammered my area in 2020 so nothing over 140’s so far this year.

I’ve been doing a quarter mile everyday with 3/4 of a five gallon bucket to the back of my farm. Kinda sucks but I like keeping the bucks around for shed hunting. Watching a couple does browse in the creek below my house right now.
