    Order of operations?

    I've wondered about what order to do what in too. The more I think about it, the more confused I get For a corn plot, I want to spray, till, wait for more weeds to come up, spray, lime and fertilize, culipack and plant. Ok- question- what if the two sprayings put me past the optimum...

    Roundup Ready Corn & Soybean Food Plot

    $3,000?? Wow. So I guess $350 is a decent deal eh? I see planters that have been gone thru and painted anywhere from $850-$1200 but haven't seen too many sold the way they are. Is there anything that goes wrong with these that I need to watch for? springs/bearings that need greasing etc?

    Roundup Ready Corn & Soybean Food Plot

    Ok guys, need some help. I have been wanting to buy a corn planter for awhile now. I know someone that is wanting to sell his planter. I know nothing about them. He says this planter has been stored for the last 5 years and the previous owner stored it for 10+ years before that. It looks to...

    Roundup Ready Corn & Soybean Food Plot

    Re: RR soybeans - soil testing A quick question for those who have tried corn/soy plots. I am thinking about broadcasting instead of planting in rows. I just don't have the equipment to plant in rows and I honestly want the corn more for cover than anything. I know it's a shotgun method...

    Knight Revolution II

    I guess the barrel and action are stainless steel- the guy just sent it out to have it teflon coated. The theory i guess is that all the blackpowder crud will just fall off like it would on a frying pan. Actually sounds like a great idea to me. First I've heard of it though. I also like the...

    Knight Revolution II

    Anyone hunt with one of these? Been offered a pretty good deal on one and I know a lot of you guys shoot Knights. I've heard that the trigger assemblies in the new enclosed ML's get a lot of blow back crud on them. So the fact that you can remove the trigger assembly on the Revolution II...

    iowa DNR wants to raise hunting/fishing fees......

    Just a couple quick thoughts from someone on the outside looking in. Michigan increased their license fees a few years back. The reaction from our hunters was pretty much on par with what I'm seeing here. My thoughts have always been and still are: I eat/breathe/sleep deer and deer hunting...

    Corn Plots- Need Help!

    Thanks for the info guys. I'll have to check out that post when I get a little more time. I have pretty much nothing for implements right now. I have a 29hp New Holland and a cultipacker. My neighbor has a 3 bottom plow and discs. I can borrow a sprayer. For this reason, I'm thinking about...

    Corn Plots- Need Help!

    Hi guys. I know I'm REALLY early asking about planting corn but I want to start looking around for 'broken bag' deals at my local coops. I'm looking at putting in about an acre plot (all the room I have) for #1) extra bedding cover and #2) hopefully a late season food source. Luckily deer...

    Creating Bedding Areas

    Hey guys. Thought I would update you on how the bedding area is going. I don't have any pics to show off (maybe i'll try to take some soon- but I'm trying to stay out of there until after the rut). Two stories that have me pretty excited about the work I did this winter... First, during the...

    Thought this was cool....

    Only thing this pic is missing is an Iowa Bruiser. Other than that, I thought this was cool with the fog backdrop.

    Moon and the RUT:

    As much as I'd like to say I agree with D&DH's predictions, I can't. It says that this year's rut should be similar to 2005's. They say the peak will fall around November 15th. I have kept detailed logs from 2005 onward of every sit, what I have seen and the temp/time etc. Bucks were running...

    Finally ...Drew area 7

    Congrats on the tag. Not sure if it's your first time to Iowa or just your first time into this zone. I've hunted zone 5 before but not 7.......so not sure if it's the same everywhere or not. Anyways, I didn't see too many businesses that cater to hunters (unless it's actually a hunting...
