Great news this morning

Thanks guys. Leaning toward first gun season. The only gun hunting I’ve done in Iowa has been the muzzleloader seasons. Looking forward to trying something different. Appreciate it

I have weekend obligations and would like to take some time off work, so I would like to have some idea ahead of time. Bith gun 1 or 2 are better options than early muzzleloader?

There are two pieces. The bigger is about 115, the smaller is about 75. They are 10 minutes apart or so. My son and I will be the only people hunting it. He will likely be done by the gun seasons. The areas gets some pressure but not abnormally high pressure. Appreciate the thoughts.

Which gun season do you guys prefer? I am a resident with access to decent private property in a good location. I do not plant food plots. The farm I hunt has grain (beans this year), but it is all combined. I used to hunt and prefer the late muzzleloader season, but that was when I hunted the...

I would guess the residents who don’t have access to private land see the problem as more than just quality. They probably also see the problem as increased pressure on public land, which is also supported by the data. In that case, limiting nonresident pressure would help alleviate pressure on...

I agree. I come here to learn and this thread is why I check this site. The knowledge (research and anecdotal) you guys have, and your willingness to share it as part of a good faith debate, is invaluable. FWIW I think the two opinions this has boiled down to each have merit, but less so than...

If you won’t vote because of your moral compass you’ll never vote again, regardless of party (at least at the federal level)

My son is 9. This is his second season. He shot a 1.5 y/o last year. We have been out once so far. Going this weekend if the weather allows. A big part of it for me is he needs to put the work in all year or he doesn’t get to participate. Part of the problem is dad does all the work all year...

This is where I am at.

Vivek is a chameleon. Look into his past. It’s easy to say the right thing. Personally, I’m more interested in policy and past performance than words but I’m obviously in the very small minority at this point.

My daughter is interested in small game and bird hunting but not deer hunting. My son is 9. He shot a 1.5 year old buck on youth opener last fall. It was a great experience for him and I. We are both excited to get going in a few weeks. over the last month we got all off our cameras, blinds and...

I agree with this. I think the best you can do is find news outlets who acknowledge their political bias up front. The journalists listed earlier in this thread, and surely there are others, are about as close as you can get. But even they have political bias. Journalists who criticize people...
