I would say that southern Iowa in general has very few deer left on public lands. Decent numbers on some private lands, but far fewer mature bucks everywhere. I blame the increase in antlerless harvest which includes a fair percentage of button bucks, late rifle season which includes both...

It's okay. I know you focus on the smaller more selfish picture. I didn't expect you to get it. That's fine, you never will.

FoxPro works fine. But, I have had just as much fun and success using hand calls over the years. A howler and a cotton tail in distress is all you really need to get started having fun.

I was asking a question. I have never hunted in MN and have never paid any attention to the seasons there. Your very snide and backhanded remark tells me the answer must be yes. Too bad on both counts.

Do you have a firearm season during the rut?

I agree with this. And, in 9 years I have killed two bucks three times. Most years I take one. I don't think most landowners fill three tags on bucks. But, its nice to choose what season you want the bonus tag in.

You mean when they respond with personal information and veiled threats? Ya, I caught that. I was disappointed to see that the site seemed to condone the bully atmosphere to be quite honest. Probably why it will go the way of IowaDeer.com,and the membership will be run over by a few NR's that...

No, he was again trying to distract from the fact that someone actually knows what they are talking about. Its the same theme for you guys.... use gross generalities that support your agenda, back-handed snide remarks and then group up and attack anyone that actually uses any real knowledge of...

You would first have to understand that he is saying they eat the top out of the plant when it is still small. They are eating the top several leaves and the part of the plant that includes the tassel before the tassel ever gets a chance to reveal. This kind of blows any credibility you may of...

I would guess its because the landowners are the ones that are having their crops eaten and trees damaged.

Not sure that "mature" was a very appropriate description. :p

I do agree with your points. FB did in fact start a program to match farmers up with hunters. As far as I know, it really never did get off the ground. Not sure FB really tried very hard. I think they would prefer to just line the coffers of some politicians and push their agenda that way...

I only sound negative to you because I don't agree that you should get preference for tags as a NRLO. I maintain that its selfish of you and many NRLO's agree. That's why there are only about three of you whining about it here all the time. Sorry if that makes you feel so picked on. We...

It's their neighbors ground they cant allow access on that is the problem more times than not. Most farmers I know that have deer issues, readily allow hunting and encourage it. I did say MOST, not all. Some farmers want ALL deer dead. Some hunters want enormous populations of deer...

Do you even read these threads or just post self-serving comments? Seriously, I have NEVER in my life discouraged anyone from hunting here. Like I said, I have encouraged several to apply for tags and have let some hunt my properties. I even run trail cameras for some NR friends and have a...

Ya, before Barney Fife shows up and pops his only cap in me because I don't think he should get a buck tag every year. What a freak!

Not one thing hypocritical about who or what I am. I hunt other states. I encourage others to come hunt here. I will not ever support taking away resources form our residents. Period. So where is the hypocrisy?

By the way J.W., the fact that you took the time to learn things about me that have never been posted here is not only flattering, but really pretty creepy of you. Borderline stalking. What's next? You gonna show up at my front door and yell BOO! Or, will I just find you sitting in one of my...

Did you really say that the lack of deer claims had ZERO to do with his rates? I gotta know, were you able to type that without smiling, or did you really convince yourself that it was true? Are deer claims dollars different from other claims dollars? Do they come from a different bottom...

Thanks for proving my point. My rates also went down, but I knew the conspiracy theorists would never believe it.
