Awesome deer

Damn son! Public around Pella is tough hunting, but there's certainly spots that will hold the occasional buck. That is a bruiser. You've got mad props in my book for getting it done the hard way. This Halloween was a great day to be out in the stand.

Great deer. Sometimes the right pieces of small timber get overlooked and can produce.

"Lafawnduh is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I'm 100% positive she's my soulmate. I'm sure there's a babe out there for you too. Peace out.

Great deer. Way to figure him out. Great harvest photos. Looks like a very pretty piece of land.

Good work. Great buck!

Great buck Ronnie! He's beautiful.

I don't think most people on this forum wait until the deer is 5.5+, even though they claim that. When the buck is big enough to give you a hard-on, you shoot... until your out of shells.

You can bequest your land to the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation, and start earning tax benefits now, while you are still alive.

Excellent haul! What types of trees do you typically find them around up there?

I am not opposed to gun rights, am a proud gun owner, and use them often like everybody else on this website. However, I can live with a few reasonable provisions that are designed to keep guns out of the hands of felons or those mentally unfit... or perhaps prevent a few kids from being...

I don't view this letter as anti-2nd amendment whatsoever. This letter pushes to eliminate "loopholes in the background check laws, straw purchases, restrictions on law enforcement, and gaps in our mental health system". Despite what Fox News tells you, nobody is going to take your guns away.

How do you hunt them up there? Any kind of baiting restrictions?

This is absolutely correct. Hopefully the fence hasn't been there for 10 years, because if so, it's his. It is called a prescriptive easement.

This is a good question. If they are true hybrids, they shouldn't be able to reseed... but that's why you wanna buy your plant material from a reputable dealer. Piqued my interest a little... these willows are certainly a way to get cover quick.

When I grew up in Wisconsin, I had a great public land spot which was surrounded by private land. I had "my tree", which was about a mile or two back through some very thick woods. I had maintained a trail out to my tree which was nicely trimmed, and I knew it like the back of my hand. My...

There is a plethora of underutilized information put out by ISU Extension. Here is a pdf detailing disease resistence, time of ripening (obviously, later the better for your deer hunting), use recommendations, and other info for all of the different varieties they recommend for Iowa's soils and...

Damn, buying land is turning into a risky investment. There was a time where people thought housing was the most secure investment out there. I also think land prices are in a bubble. Except for the very premium areas of the state, I just don't think deer hunting has much impact on those...

Colorado has a lot of good limited entry units that don't require any points at all. You'll have to start your legwork now, so you don't end up hunting an OTC unit. You'll need to pour over stats and settle on your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th choice units by the time the draw rolls around March or...

I think you ended up with the better of the two deer
