Any bets that the price of the suppressors go up by around $200…

Hopefully NOT Johnson grass.

Just to get an idea of costs I would look at ISU ag decision maker machinery rental rates, custom rate survey.

This week and next should line up with peak breeding bell curve. A few reports of a random fawn crossing the roads last week and one a couple weeks ago. A lot of the alfalfa hay got put up last week before the rain but I’m guessing we will smack some on grass hay in the next couple weeks.

Yes the township I own ground in has been enforcing the brush law for awhile now. Some townships and counties push it more than others is why I asked. I have good luck with Tordon but expensive. If hedge is your species causing issues I would wait till early September and you will smoke it...

I would wait for regrowth and hit with remedy and duracor or remedy and Grazon next. Tordon is restricted use. What county in MO if you don’t mind me asking?

CRP does have benefits to all of us as tax payers and also requires something in return through limiting the use of the ground in the contract. In regards to the “handout” I’d say that is a bit much. To me a handout is getting something for nothing (welfare & food stamps) while CRP you have to...

You probably have some good intel but my opinion is words and actions don’t align. You can’t cut employees and degrade benefits of those employees and then increase programs (tree programs) and expect anything but dissatisfaction to the taxpayer applying for the tree assistance. Internal...

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...
