Put a bug in people's ear or landowners ear that u might be interested In buying if they ever decided to sell. It's a small world everybody knows everybody. I spoke with a landowner almost 3 yrs ago about a farm that was 1mile down the road from current farm. Well we just Closed on it this...

ive had multiple rough recoveries with my muzzeloader and I'm shooting same gun as you and my advise that ive learned the hard way is if I don't see that deer fall over or have an iffy blood trail I'll back out wait till morning which is hard to do I've bumped a few and made it more...

I've found that no matter how big an acreage u buy after time it shrinks. my first farm was 60 at first seemed big after few hunting seasons go by it seemed small. my point is u don't need a huge farm to kill big deer u need right farm with the right neighbors. I've killed numerous deer...

Contact local nrcs they will pay u to do it yourself or help cover cost to pay someone else. Forester will come out and mark timber for you. I did 50 acres over last 3 years on my farm received around 3k from work plus it's fun

Wow!!! I would be trying to find the names of landowners "buddies" and turn them into the county officer. Sad thing is rifle shotgun handgun it wouldn't matter they would kill for fun anyway guys like that shouldn't be able to get a tag

Makes me cringe as well not just because of shed bucks being harvested but also because of more antlerless deer being harvested that frankly in many many places is just unnessary. The season was designed to bring people to southern iowa where numbers of deer use to be heavy and hunting pressure...

Don't see that everyday very cool

I have a question?we all know we can go about 30 pages deep in this thread talk about what we should do or shouldn't do can do. I know the seasons obviously too far your gone and the management practices lies in our hands just as it does every year but maybe somebody should post on who you...

I have to agree this definetly is not a bowhunter vs shotgunner post. This is a message to everyone who gun hunts and bow hunts. I personally partake in both and as bowhunters we are the eyes and ears of the deer herd. We spend oct-early dec in a tree thosands of hours logged plus trailcam pics...
