My oldest is 4.5 years old and he thinks he wants to try and sit in a treestand with me. A ladder stand with a safeline will be what he's climbing but does anyone have suggestions on a safety harness for a 4 year old who weighs roughly 40 pounds? Hunter Safety System Lil' TreeStalker Safety...

I had 1.10 inches just south of Des Moines

I see no downside to it and I am more than happy to take the few seconds and get them data that they believe will be useful. If you're fine with giving the length of a turkey spur then I'm not sure why you are opposed to an over/under measurement of the beam. The DNR is always under funded...

Last week in October and last two weeks of November. I haven't been real fond of November 1st-17th ish. To me, the big ones are locked down and its mainly younger bucks out looking during those first two weeks in November. Your later dates are what I'd prefer between those two options. Good luck!

Does anyone in the Des Moines/Warren County area have some extra (1/2 acre worth) of the dbltree mix or know where to get some close by? I have rye covered but looking for some additional - rape, oats, peas, radish? Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

IBH - are you no-tilling into that, tilling, or just broadcasting? We have an acre that was previously clover that we just killed off and are going to do brassicas and just have an ATV with disc and cultipacker. Curious as to how we should attack it.

Dandy! That makes me want to get some cameras rolling!

I got a postcard in the mail today from the Iowa DNR (Jace Elliott with the Deer Research Program) asking to complete a survey. I just filled it out and it took about 20 minutes. I thought it was beneficial and topics included: Crossbows Rifles Night Vision predator hunting Trail cameras Drones...

Man, I'm sure glad I don't have any stories to add to this one and I hope I don't in the future. Sucks for you guys who have been harassed - that could take the fun out of it real quick. One hunt sticks out because the hunter was a dick but nothing more than that. My Dad and I were shotgun...

Agreed. I hate politics but people who think Trump doesn't rub people the wrong way have their head in the sand. If he was a halfway polite human being, shut his mouth, and stayed off Twitter and he would have more people support him.

Interesting! Could be then.

Thats not what I would have expected. The 2022 trail cam photos and harvest picture look like he's 4.5+ to me. Stud of a buck regardless but I hear you on the age not being what you expected. I was in the same boat this year - really wanted something 5.5+ and ended up shooting the biggest in a...

I don't imagine so. He is just hunting public land so that's more what that segment was about in my opinion. I didn't see anything about DNR in the sponsors.

I know this is an old thread but for anyone on the fence about getting a pair of boot gaiters I'd highly recommend it. I bought some Kenetrek gaiters last fall on sale and have worn them quite a bit for hunting and shed hunting and wish I would have purchased a pair years ago. Sent from my...

Just found a nice batch. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

Fantastic! Great stuff!

Sounds like a fun hunt! Congrats!

I decided to head back to the property that I shot a tom at during second season because there were lots of birds in the area. My plan was to get to a high ridge and listen for gobbles and make a move. I was able to get there before they started gobbling and quickly realized most of the birds...

The panic and excitement of a gobble that close but behind is something else! Way to get it done!

Just listened to them both - great info as always Skip!
