I never in a million years though this argument from guys online would turn into a public land hunter vs private land hunter. You literally can’t walk a piece of state ground in any part of the state and not have a trail camera taking your picture; it’s absolutely bananas. On top of that, now...

Planted 20 ish acres of natives around same time in Adair county. Switch grass is up, but hardly any of the natives in the mix are up as of last week. Area has gotten slammed with rain. Everything was drilled and I noticed some of the switch had moved down the hill in spots. Unfortunately...

It’s definitely going to be a slippery slope for sure. They’re so much gray in it right now. Majority of guys are running cameras in the fall to gain information. The newest info the better. Just because you get pictures of him in the plot the morning doesn’t mean he’s going to show up that...

There was a correction made, as the person who released that article clearly didn’t understand the laws. State land = no trail cameras Private land = you can’t use them to help out in a current hunt. Good luck proving that part, but we’ll see what they come up with.

It appears it’s all trail cameras on state owned land.

I would vote gun 1. Especially in areas of the state with higher doe densities. Right farm, that first week of December can have as good or better “rut” movement of mature deer than November 1st. Obviously hard to beat single digit temps with fresh snow overlooking standing grain, but those...

My guess is he’s dealing with a retail agronomist? I would agree there may not be a need for lime with a PH at 5.9 and buffer at 7.74. Lime is relatively inexpensive however still added cost that may not move the needle in profitability in a corn/bean rotation in 2026 growing season. Plus...

This might be the wildest claim I’ve ever heard in my life.

It was most definitely directed at you. This isn’t 1980s. Negative perception is a weak rebuttal here. You’ve had 2-3 land owners on this thread alone inviting you to come trap their properties; tell me another scenario where that happens? Fur prices are at an all time low, hence why...

Some of you would cry over a blowjob……… This right here is why we can’t get anything done regarding regulations. What’s good for majority isn’t good for all, so we stomp our feet and cry about it to muddy the water until we can’t get anything done.

Yeah I had a guy from Osceola tell me he’d give me 12$/lb then next morning when I went to meet him; he said the market was down and he only offered me 8$. I think there’s some shady people buying selling antlers. Obviously not everyone is bad, but definitely lots of turds trying to flip a...

Same for the farms I hunted. The rios seem to be super delicate to springs rains and bug hatches. I also think, word got out and everyone from all over the United States started chasing them. I remember toward the end one day I seen 4 different states driving around scouting the same BFE area...

Everyone wants to be self employed and hunt / fish daily. It’s what the Pandora’s box Covid opened up for people. Drive by the des Moines River 10 am on a Tuesday and there’s 30 guys fishing. No wonder our economy sucks, nobody wants to actually work anymore……..

To circle back. I was able to get a deal done relatively easy. Made a post on Facebook on an antler page and within 1 hour I had over 10 People commenting on interest. Lots of tire kickers and tweakers lookin to scam a guy also. However, found a few guys that appeared legit and was able to...

New to the trapping game, make it make sense to me; why you can hunt coyotes after the 28th but you can’t trap them after the 28th? Is it because of non target species like bobcats or foxes having potential to get caught too? Seems odd since they allow coons to be trapped year round private...
