FWIW, you remember correctly. This was discussed some on here last fall. I know the hunter, he said it himself, so it seems pretty legit that it happened. I too fully support the banning of cell cams, at least during open season.

Some properties are selling, still at what I consider high prices. But some properties are sitting for sale for a while. I'd still call it a seller's market, but not as hot as it was. Today's buyers are generally pretty knowledgeable about what to look for AND what to avoid. If the layout is...

Wow, the article definitely says that, for both public and private land...but that is news to me. And I think that there are many, many people using cell cams all over this state who will say..."What???" While I personally agree that cell cams are electronic surveillance and therefore not...

Brassicas - my crib notes say I planted brassicas last year on 08-08-25 at: Gate = 0.1, gear = 2.1 and depth at 1/2". Soil was damp, almost too wet. Felt like that was too heavy. Stand was OK. Planted three other places on 08-15-25 at: Gate = 0.1, gear = 1.6 and depth at 1/2". Soil was...

I have used my G5 with a LS 40HP...but it is on the ragged edge. I bought a New Holland 60 HP and it handles it very well. While you could possibly get away with something in the 40HP range...I would recommend something bigger.

I need to verify the brand, but I have one that is a leaker, even when new, that I would never buy again. My other blinds are: 3 Banks blinds and 2 360 Pro XL's that are all very nice. I would buy the Banks or 360 Pro's again anytime.

Post some video of it in use. That looks cool!

FWIW, I saw a roadkill fox today and the tail looked very much like the one here. Not puffy.

When I saw these pics of devastation I was a little nervous to see what happened at my place. After being there today I am happy to say we received nothing like this. I am sorry for anyone that got wiped out like this. At least it is early enough in the season to replant with beans. Bummer...

Where I live near Iowa City...less than inch, although it came down heavy when it came. At my farm in Davis County...about twice that. And judging by security camera images...it came very hard at times too.

I am not a fox expert, but I think this is correct. I have seen a couple similar to this over the years, but I am not sure then if I saw the same fox more than once or the fox change seasonally.

When in the "open" they definitely are more prone to heavy winds tipping them over than other species. Good advice!!

Wow, thanks for sharing all. I am now wondering if the terrible admins that you got rid of ended up over here in IC. :) But for real...many public schools are totally wack right now...even here in Iowa. Egads. I am a product of Iowa public schools and feel like I received a great education...

Just a FWIW on the subject of public schools v. financially supporting private schools, etc, etc. I live in the Iowa City School District (ICCSD) and things could not be MORE out of whack than they are here right now. Literally millions of dollars that they cannot "find", the district has had...

Ha! :) Badger story incoming...Years and years ago I was fishing with my brother in a small creek. We were only 10 or 12 years old at the time. I was actually in the creek at the time while he was up on the bank above me as we moved upstream. Due to the height of the steep bank, I could only...
