I'm not even from MO originally(Iowa born and raised) but living/working in St. Louis for the last 12 years has had an effect on me:D I actually went to college at Iowa State, so I do understand Big 12 rivalries, it does not get much bigger than MIZZOU and Kansas. At least we can probably both...
I have heard of people in the past having to polish the chamber and forcing cone on new 870's Expresses to get them to extract certain shells reliably. Just a thought.

I think the biggest problem is that what a hunter might consider an acceptable herd size and what farmers/insurance companies think is acceptable are very different. Deer in Iowa reproduce like rabbits, something like 75% of first year does reproduce, and the herd size could double in a few...
Do all of you residents remember the 80's when a deer was hard to find in Iowa?? When the only resident tag available was Buck only?? For all of the fear of Iowa's deer herd, it seems to me that all it would take to over inflate the herd again would be 10 years of Buck only tags, just like the...
