I was told their Missouri farm was for sale. It just made me wonder what they were up to these days. I know there was a tough lawsuit with Primos back in the day.

Anyone know what became of Hunters Specialties founders Dave and Carman Forbes?

Should we start plot pic and status thread?

We have been lucky in our area the last several years. It has been dry but we received just enough timely rain to keep the crops in decent shape. No hail or bad wind. We were not so lucky today. It might not be as bad as it looked this morning. We shall see tonight.

Mahaska Monroe border. We had 1" last night and 2.5" so far today. We had quarter sized hail for 10 min so at first glance the crops look bad.

Do you dump on ground or do you have mineral stations?

Dr. Deer or Grant Woods, don't recall which, had a great video on this and how devastating it was to the population 60 years ago. I can't seem to find it now but I will keep looking. I am struggling to understand just what in the heck our tax dollars are funding. They know how to bring this...

We are down in southern iowa.

I don't worry about the competitive side of it anymore. Hard to compete will 30 year old eyes...It's fun to go with friends, throw down some smack talk and have fun...

We live 2 miles from the Des Moines and less than a mile from 2 creeks that feed into the Des Moines. We are already working on a box trap. The ole' boy that figured it out is an old school outdoorsman and he hates them. He said they are pound for pound the meanest animal in the state...

Anyone ever have otter problems? Last summer I saw what a swore was a fisher cross the road when I was taking a walk. I never even dreamed it would be an otter. A good friend was fishing our pond and he thinks an otter has been raiding the pond because the quality has declined and I think I saw...

Could we get one going? Wapello Chiefs have a primitive shoot this weekend May 30-31. Wapello Chiefs have a regular shoot next week June 6-7. I used to shoot several each summer and need to get back in groove. We used to go to Derby, Montezuma, Sigourney, Pella. Do any of these groups still...

These are good discussions to have. Some places it is nearly taboo to discuss. Thanks all...
