Do your doe decoys have the head up or down in the feeding position?

I recently got a new muzzleloader and now I am looking for a new scope to put on it. I had a Leupold 2-7X33 Shotgun Scope on my old ML, but want something with a finer crosshairs/duplex. Should I go with the regular 2-7X33 or 3-9X40? Moosehunter, I noticed the scope on your ML. What kind is...

I had decided that I was going to hunt some land near Des Moines that I had lined up instead of driving back to the Cedar Rapids area to hunt(where I always hunt). I went out last Friday to check it out. It ended up being a little over an hour away and I saw no sign of turkey. I slept in...

Got my 4th season bird on Sunday! Actually add 2 because my dad and I shot a double. My bird was 21 lbs, 9.5" beard and .75" spurs. My dads was 18 lbs, 10" beard and 7/8" spurs. Picture and story to come.

Got one yesterday morning! The bird was 22 lbs, 10 inch beard and 7/8 inch spurs.

I would hunt them all if I could, but I go 1st and 4th! First is good because you can pattern the birds, like deer hunting. Fourth is good because you can call birds. I like to go out with friends during the other seasons!

There is a very simple way to support the local shops and save money! When I buy something, I do a lot of comparison shopping prior to "pulling the trigger" on a purchase. With that said, there is alway some place that will sell it cheaper. What I do is find a printed add or print something...

I enjoy hunting and shooting a muzzleloader, so I went with SmokePole!

Remington SPS Super Slug Deer Gun, Leupold VX II 2-7X33 Shotgun Scope and Leupold PRW Rings.

I actually went to the doctor on Monday and she said the there was some inflamation causing the ringing and she gave me some medicine to reduce the swelling. She said that it should take a week or so for the ringing to go away. I just wanted to check to see if this has happened to anyone else...

Anyone ever get "muzzleblast"? I was in a duck boat this weekend and had a shot go off right by my ear and it is still ringing. Will this go away?

That is funny that you used the glove method also! I used it opening morning and pointed my muzzle down while in the stand. Shot a nice buck opening morning, so it must have worked!

Is it too late to plant oats? The product that I am thinking of using is made to be planted in the fall, so I thought that I could wait until the crops are harvested and plant it in pick fields. The beans should be out in 2 to 4 weeks, and I figured that the soil should be already prepared for...

I am a firm believer that corn and soybeans are the best food plots to use in Iowa, but want to try something this year. What I am going to do is plant some fall plots in between the rows of picked corn and soybean fields. There are some fall blends that are not to be planted before fall and...

What I try to do is find a gunsmith were I buy all my gear. That way the store's reputation is on line. Gander Mountain in Cedar Rapids had a good one, but he got tired of working on shotguns and moved out West.

I bought a bunch of them at a Walmart in Indianapolis last year for 25 cents each. Also bought a bunch of grunt tubes for a 50 cents each. Haven't tried them yet.

The best thing Iowa has done, and I hope continues to do, is have the gun season after the rut. Small bucks are still killed with point restrictions. Not too many people I know would shoot a fork horn!

How is the deer hunting near the ammunition plant in Burlington?

You can never go wrong with the Remington 870!

You are absolutely justified! When I was in school, my dad always called me in. However, he told them that I was going hunting. I do not think that you have to even give them a reaso, just call in and say "My son will late a couple hours late today." Enough said. If that is not good enough...
