Oh I'd bet that would go over real well****. Lol

After taking my wife shed hunting,(she had some luck shed hunting, refer to photo below) my wife thinks she wouldn't mind trying to go deer hunting. I want to make it as comfortable and pleasant as possible. So it's going to be heated blind, heated socks, and hopefully a shot from 100 or less...

Tillable land prices here have definitely come off the highs, I'd say 10% at least depending on the piece, now the neighbor puts a land for sale sign on a 194acres 175 tillable. It doesn't border me but it's pretty close to home..... He's only asking about 30% more than a recent land auction...

My goal is to improve my farm. I want my farm for hunt big for it's size, It actually already hunts pretty big.(Pretty Amazing the amount of bucks live and are on the farm) My farm was a city park when I purchased the farm 4 years ago. I could see for hundreds of yards no problem. I've already...

Prices I got were Grade A .35/BF Grade B .20/BF Pallet Logs .10 Long haul Pallet .07 These are all standing prices. I'm not cutting, or hauling. Their doing all the work. I have 200-250 trees I could take. But probably only cut 120ish. I have some very big old growth that needs to go. I've...

I asked that question as well. The loggers I'm dealing with have their own mill. So I guess there's a quality of Pallet wood that they have to haul a long ways. Idk. I'm not a logger. Just a land owner looking to improve my property by taking out the Canopy.

I priced around between loggers a year ago. But I've heard murmurs of mills being short on logs. So has anyone gotten any prices on Silver Maples per 1000 board feet? If so what are you seeing for prices. I got a Grade A Grade B and Pallet Wood and a Long Haul Pallet wood price. I have...

Was just in one of my brassica plots today, and their completely gone. Demolished. And I don't do anything special. This is the second year, and they didn't leave a thing. I didn't put N on them, and they were pretty good size. Soybean plot got demolished as well. Not many beans left. With no...

This last year, I Had Brassicas and Standing soybeans side by side. Was a nice combination. Next year I'll have Corn both standing and knocked down. Going to plant Clover where the Brassicas were, and move over a bit and have the Brassicas in an L Shape around the Clover. The following year...

I took the photo from up in the tree, was like the 3rd or 4th time seeing the deer with no ears.

All tillable tracts here have come down some. Last land sale in the area 147 acres brought 9600/acre. 74 CSR2 BUT it had 43 acres of BLOW sand not so good of ground. If ya broke the 2 short 80s apart. The Poor 80 being valued at 5k, and valuing the other 80 probably worth 13ish. A very good...

E Bikes, Cell Cams both should be banned on public property. I can think of several 2000+ acre pieces that used be really good. Because you could get away from pressure. With E bikes that doesn't exist anymore. To improve public lands I think Iowa should go to some sort of draw system for Public...

Has anyone ever seen a deer with no ears? It just looks like the hairs of its ears are hanging out and that's it. Anyone know what could cause it? Was with another fawn that looked totally normal. Fawns were together, but no mother.

Some of the ideas above aren't bad. But I think a touch unrealistic. Banning straight walled cartridges won't happen. And Banning Cell cams won't happen. And Banning group hunting also won't happen. A couple I see being a little more realistic. 1) Slash doe tags hard. The areas west of I-35...

Was out swapping some batteries on a food plot, and looking around the brassicas a little bit, and found this. First one of the year. Looking back on the cam, looks like I have the other side to look for......

To all the deer that have survived the deer season in my county, we have no extra tags available. Thank God. Don't have many antlerless tags to start with. Been watching my late Season standing food sources, and my hopes are high for next year. LOTTA of potential still out there. Even after a...

Iowa Bowhunter I had 2 loggers look at the trees, and they each gave me a bid. One of the loggers was referred to me by a friend that has had him do a lot of work. It looks to me like the maple market is 50-60 dollars a tree depending how big, and board footage. Like I said I'm interested in...

I have an upcoming logging project that I'm planning for the end of February, I worked with a state forester to start. My trees are not as valuable as yours. Maples, but their BIG, and need to go. My farm was like a city park before I started cutting some on my own. Then after I had a narrow...

Some people complain about them temps, but Dad always has said it keeps the tourists out, and he likes it that way. Lol. I actually prefer these conditions, Throw the heated socks on. Layer up. Set the LP heater in the blind. Add 6 inches of snow. And some standing beans. It's not if, but when...
