???? Resident v. NR? What??

NE Davis County...things are improved from what they have been for years now. Why?? I wish I knew for sure, but I can say that there are several neighbors in my area that are MUCH more active on predator management than has been the case in the past. I do also think a dry summer (drought) can...

I realize that this notion is a David v. Goliath scenario...but we need to get in the heads of the FB. You want to jack us up with your self serving legislation every year? Fine, let's go, let's get it on. Let's take a close look at what farmers already get. For too long they have held sway...

To that point ^^ specifically...how many know that farmers, and lets face it, the real driver here is the Farm Bureau, are able to purchase many, many items without sales tax being applied to the transaction. I dunno about you...but nearly everything I buy I pay sales tax on it. Why are we...

I can believe that sunflower stalks could puncture tractor tires. I have at least two hols in one of my "new" tractor tires from corn stalks. I now mow my corn down pretty short...those "tall" stalks will get you.

I found a nice shed today from the seat of my tractor. :) Believe it or not, a gust of wind laid the grass down about 30 yards down hill from where I was driving and I thought I saw some white, bone like structure sticking up that wasn’t moved by the wind. So I hopped off the tractor and...

My very unofficial opinion, after onetime seeing a neighbor singe his similar looking trees with a burn of his...I agree with IBH. Maybe one survivor there, but otherwise toast. FWIW, none other Doubletree himself saw that site while visiting with me at my place back in the day...and I will...

I have four "hard" enclosed blinds, but only one lets in flies. Go figure. I have spied a place where I think they may be getting in that I can caulk, but haven't done so yet. It is a kinked door seal that leaves just enough daylight that a fly could get in there. We'll see if caulking that...

Ha, that pic reminds me of a time once, way back...I was out turkey hunting and fell asleep. It was a rainy day and not much was happening. I am not sure how long I had been snoozing but when I woke up I saw something right in front of me about 15-20 yards away. It looked just like your...

I have seen reports on FB that some are being found in SE Iowa. That is definitely early in my experience...but unless someone is pulling a fake, it seems to be beginning.

Totally agree. ^^ I have no doubt that, if legal, some would not hesitate to "fly" their property prior to a hunt so as to see where EXACTLY Mr. Big is hanging and then go "hunt" accordingly. These drones are flying high enough and/or quiet enough that they do not spook the deer AND the cams...

FWIW, I get the reservations on the ever advancing technology. FWIW, I have chosen not to use cell cams for this reason, I think they are a bridge too far personally. (Note - I do use them for security purposes and we do sometimes see deer on them, but their locations are not where we would...

FWIW, I am not able to join the meeting with this passcode.

I will try to call in, but I don't know the number. Help. :)

Regarding being able to discern big bucks...I saw footage where they were zoomed way in on the heads of bedded bucks and you could literally see the raw pedicels. A close up view of a larger diameter pedicel would be a pretty reliable indicator to me.
