Way to get her done and what brand of turnips did you plant? LOL

So he is plowing a field and low and behold, there is a monster buck stuck in the creek with a compound fracture of the femur, while there just happens to be 4 out of state hunters illegally hunting in Iowa that are friends of his and staying at his friend's house, but he shot it with his bow...

Thanks HD and Sligh. I will just cut n bale it up then smoke it if that works. Gets me going with grass faster. Sligh, I get what you mean about the kill. I smoked the brome ditch in September with 5% Gly and still had to come back for some survivors in October. The brome killed nice but some...

I have 7 acres of alfalfa that I want to convert to prairie in the next 2 years. My plan though, is to rip it up and put it in Ag for 1-2 years to cut down on the seed bank of weeds. Then frost seed in the Prairie grasses. I didn't see where dbltree did this, but I would think that seeding this...

Still hunt standing corn if there is any around you.

Sorry to hear that happened to you. I have had it happen on my own private ground before It is a bad deal. I have made support bars out of 1/2" conduit and rachet straps are $10. You can fix it for under $20 with parts from Menards. Just get you a little Redneck ingenuity on.

Killing a neighbor's dog should be last resort if it is attacking you. Some of you may think it is the solution but you are wrong. I have seen too many tears over the loss of a pet dog. My neighbor has a dog that is a big wuss, but he barks all the time. He doesn't chase deer, but he sniffs...

That's a great buck and great history with him. Congrats on a unique trophy.

Very little impact at all. See, the state of Iowa does not like people to have fun on ATV/UTV and do not allow any such devilish fools riding on Public ground(which there is a microscopic amount of) or roadways. So therefore, there is a miniscule amount of 4 Wheeler activity amongst the country...

That's a great Buck. Ray Charles could have followed that blood trail. Congrats.

Just let it go and be cool to the neighbor to the south. It is just a deer and the place will grow more. Talk to them and see if they will let you hunt their place too, since they are hunting your place. Get them on board with QDM and grow even bigger deer. A war is the last thing you want.

Well, disking up dirt, preparing a seed bed, planting, hope for rain, and see if it grows is not a for sure deal. Dumping a 50 pound bag of shell corn 20 yards from your stand is. That's the difference.

We have not found any dead deer on our farm this year in Madison County.

You know I needed some a couple years ago and believe it or not, I went to Earl May and bought their generic grass killer (sethoxydim) and sticker oil. It was like $25 a pint for the killer and $10 a pint for the sticker. I mixed it as per label, sprayed it and it worked perfectly. I get it that...

As a landowner, the two best gifts, and the most appreciated, were, first and foremost, calling me and asking me for permission consistently. I may have let you hunt there four years ago, but that doesn't mean you have running permission, as one guy thought. Second was a pound of some high end...
