Most areas you will need to tube them , or cage them …

How serious of a hunter are you if you give it up for golf ?

The best use is a rollover ? If you have 100k, 200k, 300k? Maybe more to roll into a farm ? You can also own it 50/50 with a non-IRA?

Correct … you have to keep the money in the IRA. However, you can use that money to buy more property in your IRA… It’s complicated, but not as bad as you’d think .

I have land in Self Directed IRA and yes you are not supposed to use it.. you can rent it/crop lease or take timber income off of it . Mine is a 40 acres—you can’t see from the road . I’ve actually never hunted on it, but scooped up some sheds from it . Never seen an IRS agent on it ;) .. once...

The old saying “nobody has hunted it for years “ is rarely true !

If they buy them… at over $500 a tag ? Correct, I don’t see it . But who knows ?

States like North Dakota & South Dakota have a draw for gun hunters. It looks like Missouri has a lot of gun hunters. Maybe they take steps and cut back to 50 % of the current numbers ? I’m not sure how excited the government employees will be about losing their jobs ? This would be a huge...

I’ve ordered tree tubes from Mike Hamilton! He’s a good guy, and gets the tubes out fast ! I bought 100 from him for my .. Iowa & Missouri tree projects .

I cut a bunch of cedar limbs today in Minnesota. Created potential beds, trails and open spots . It was very thick in there and this should help. I forgot to take pictures, but will get a few when I’m done .

Can someone post the number of NR deer hunters ? I saw 22k in 2021? It’s a big state with more deer habitat —different than Iowa. I could fully accept a cap on NR, as long as it’s not low like Iowa (6000) . Skip mentioned 15,000? I could see that being acceptable? I have no idea where that...

I can speak from experience and lots of years of meetings and discussions on moving the gun season back in Minnesota. It’s very difficult!!! Borderline impossible. Many hunters do not bow hunt and they enjoy seeing a buck chase a doe by their stands while in rut . They hunt in small groups...

You make good points . However, I disagree with NR being the issues . In Minnesota, fixing our state has (0) to with nonresidents! It’s not the issue.. it’s all regulations! Minnesota moves gun season back 2 weeks, and eliminates party hunting for bucks (1 buck maximum) and we are a powerhouse...

You have to know the market ? If they think they’ll get $600 a tag and guys will wait three years… good luck ! They have to move the gun season back 2 weeks first, and possibly go to one buck tag, so the results improve. The barrage of rifles is a concern too … NR are about 4th or 5th of...

This is just not right at all . Anyone that supports this is asking for real problems . Limiting the portion of the hunting season during which NR can hunt statewide? Is this the rut ? Who would have ever even thought of this ?
