Not picking fights but want readers here to realize how many government tax $ go to subsidize federal crop insurance. I’d be willing to bet that average farmer Gov subsidy is far more than the average CRP payment earned and far more acres subsidized. So should all crop acres subsidized by...

Emaciation is another pretty slick way to do euros. Takes more time and stinks to high heaven but they are tighter than boiling IMO and keeps the nasal bones better.

I agree raccoons are some to blame for sure but as Daver mentioned the areas around where I hunt have had their raccoon populations kept in control and are no higher than they were 20 years ago. There is starting to be some information/studies released that environmental issues have an impact...

No conspiracy theorist but turkey numbers are pathetic in NWMO/SWIA. Major problem somewhere. Easy 20 year low in numbers. I have read articles lately that people taking notice of low bird numbers across board for most part. I’m shocked how few robins are around this spring. When I was...

Fair enough on that side. My question is why in the HE77 do we have Iowa elected officials that are continually proposing tag changes to improve NR opportunities when they are clearly hearing that resident success and quality have declined!!!

Proposing to jump to $3700 by a few legislators is what I read. GoHunt article.

In the middle of playing the game of Western tag draws and came across an interesting article to put some of this into perspective. Utah is working on a proposal to double NR premium elk tags to $3700+. General statement but not one state I apply in have improved NR draw odds or reduced fees...

Is it fairly tight? Any pics?

I was going to say toy also. Unlikely a screwed together barrel has much use for anything else.

I’m not saying that at all but what I am saying is MO could allow zero NR licenses and the access for MO residents to private ground would not get much better if any. I don’t believe that the farms IF let go by the AR hunters would not be leased up again. The numbers I am referring to are on...

The numbers don’t support that statement. Look at the charts. You may want to believe that it’s all the NR fault but how many people that knock on your door to hunt do you say yes to? There has been a 10 fold decrease ish for one increase in NR tags. I know of plenty of residents that have...

My chemical rep mentioned that Tordon can spread with like species so if you are killing an oak and don’t want to kill the next oak beside it then don’t use it. Also don’t over apply and let it rain off on to the ground are the main two issues with Tordon. You would see firing and other signs...

You personally can’t earn the income or use it, right? Income has to go to IRA until 59.5 I thought.

I kill locust 365 and it works. You don’t want to be sloppy with Tordon and get it on the ground as it can leach.

Locust are terrible about sprouting back if you don’t treat the stump. Girdling works really well on the bigger trees but need treated. Get inside the bark layer around the entire trunk and treat with chemical like Tordon RTU or Pathway (and others). I will not cut or girdle a locust without...
