    Real estate commission lawsuit - changes coming!!?!?!

    I understand wanting someone to look out for your best interests and yours only, but a lawyer can do that also. I have done real-estate deals with and without realtors. When not using a realtor i have hired a lawyer to review paperwork, do title searches, etc. at a fraction of the cost of a...

    Food in Des Moines

    If you are up for an awesome brunch and some day drinking...go to Mullets. It's even great food without the day drinking.

    Gideon Lee Walker

    Heal up soon. And by the way, good planning on the timing. Birthday parties won't interfere with the rut or turkey season. Side bonus...if he gets into turkey hunting you have a long list of bday presents to pick from with a March bday! My daughter's October bday had a lot of deer season...

    Prescribed Burn - Backpack Blower Recommendations

    To offer a different option...I have a Troy Built 220 mph and 600 cfm. Clearly not as good as the Stihl 800 (240 mph and 900 cfm) but also about 1/3 to 1/2 the cost. I have done half dozen burns with it and it has been absolutely fine and that includes a couple hairy situations it...

    Gnarly Timbers

    The ones dropped on my place were not so thick that a deer couldn't still get through. I can still get through, but its work. One area with little bedding was set up with a core areas (maybe a 20-30 yard circle) mess of trees then it has half a dozen spokes coming off it that are 50 - 100...

    Gnarly Timbers

    I've had a 120 acre piece for ten years. Has a good variety of terrain and decent cover. I've take several 150-180' deer over the first nine years. I wanted to start making it even better so I hired Midwest habitat to come down and do TSI for two days. That made some reasonable bedding areas...

    Land prices / insane!!!

    A lot of good stuff in this and others posts to help people look at their spending in different ways to help them get what they really want. My family growing up was very blue collar and frugal. Luckily that rubbed of on some of the kids. When I was in college (1990), my plumber older brother...

    Pulling Autumn Olive & Honeysuckle?

    Has anyone here had luck pulling these? I am looking at buying a tree/post puller ($1,500) for my tractor and pulling 10 acres that are THICK with these bushes. I know its not near as fast as running a forestry mulcher over them but just curious if anyone else has done this. Hack and squirt...

    Bill SF2324?

    IBA update on 2/18/24 SF 2324 (formerly SSB 3129) - Land Acquisition Restrictions (O) - This bill restricts the acquisition of real property by the Department of Natural Resources. The bill authorizes the DNR to only acquire property through willing donors and sellers. The Department also shall...

    Food plots in CRP/Wetland Reserve

    Kind of similar answer here on WRP. You will have to dig into the details with them. I have 60 acres in a WRP that I can put plots in, but it was put in WRP in the 80's, so the details are likely different than one recently enrolled. I am restricted on how much food plot and I have to have...

    Land prices / insane!!!

    that 1306 acre property might have gone 20% under list but it was still over $5500 an acre. That's not like it's a low price.

    Speaking at classic & ISC dinner- suggestions on Keeping iowa great?

    PM me if you want me to give it a go. I make several PowerPoint presentations a year. I don't get overly fancy and your audience probably isn't looking for that anyway. To the point, animation where the lines "fly" or "spin' in, and maybe some canned pictures. Putting in tables or graphs is...

    SF 255- more OUTFITTER TAGS!!!

    Just being a smart a** here. So if this had passed, I could have registered as an outfitter to get out of state tags for my friends in Michigan?

    My little project this year. 500 acre farm with zero deer

    Great story to follow! Thanks for sharing. I do need to warn you though. The last harvest pic is NOT a whitetail! Not sure of the legalities in Iowa but I won't tell anyone if you don't. ;)

    Welcome to my home, birds.

    That is awesome! I had a Canadian goose follow me down the road, into my driveway, and onto the front porch before. It was clearly tame though. I opened my garage to try and catch it in my dog crate and it just walked in the crate by itself for a piece of bread. Easiest trapping job I ever...

    Land prices / insane!!!

    Buy when you can. let's say I'm 40 and can afford my first hunting land purchase but want lower prices. I wait 4 years to hopefully get a correction. Well even if I use the property heavily until I'm 80, I still lost 10% of my years of enjoyment. I literally can't remember a time I've heard...

    What about .45 and greater caliber air guns for whitetail deer?

    Judge, you've probably already picked up.on the sentiment here already...but just in case I'm another NO. At short as I can make my point is...Iowa has great deer hunting because of its regulations. So don't mess with the regulations!
