    What is your very first

    My grandpa brought home a 200+ incher back when I was little. I remember sitting on it and always wanting one bigger. My dad never hunted, my stepdad wasn’t a hunter, and my grandpa wouldn’t take me… so the fire for wanting one bigger and a whole lot of self learning, I’m a bowhunting nut. The...

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    Let’s limit the state to a 1 doe state per person and 2 buck state- eliminate LOTs. Change qualifications on depredation tags to actually be something terrible and inspected to make sure it’s not coon damage. Win win

    Bad Neighbor Tips

    Let’s put it into perspective…. It’s just a deer at the end of the day. I don’t want to sound like a jerk, but the rate people are ripping out habitat for wildlife, I will take a crappy neighbor if they leave habitat. For example, last year my neighbors shot 4 bucks they never recovered, this...

    So everyone that shoots a booner in Iowa if we make the switch going to register them? How many of you guys now don’t register a deer?

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    The warden here said they are fair game to do it- orange is just a safety precaution. Crazy how different the state can be.

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    Ive said it for a long time (even though I own several small pieces) its either get rid of the LOT all together, especially since they still do depredation- or leave them alone at this point. All youre going to do is divide people if you put an acreage amount- and then those people are going to...

    Poaching in the “good neighborhoods”

    There is a local guy here who does video/photos of acreages and such with a drone. He said he can easily get 5-7 miles depending on how windy the day is. If it’s calm, 10 miles is a possible thing. He has 12,000 into it.

    Poaching in the “good neighborhoods”

    Question- do cameras put off any sort of heat that can be picked up? Seriously I never thought about it until just recently when I’ve had cameras switched off and batteries dumped onto the ground but no picture of anyone… would have taken a true “know where it is” to do that and not get a...

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    My Minnesota neighbors suddenly showed up once the “big one” here has been moving. And somehow they’ve had tags 3 years in a row….

    Poll: How’s Hunting this year vs past seasons? Short & long term choices

    Well I haven’t been in the tree yet because wow, there’s just nothing around. I have one 130" 6 pt, and one very mature 10...otherwise, nothing to even look at. I’m in the north, I don’t “think” we’ve had EHD but I can’t say for sure. I’m in an area no doe tags- but yet there are still people...

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    I shot 2 bucks last year, one was wounded and I doubt would have made it. The other one was a spike on one side and 4 pt on the other (was that way 2 years in a row). This year I have a 130" 6 pt running around that I am trying to kill and a very mature 10 pt...those are the only 2 that will get...

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    There is a guy here that has a “system” that uses night vision to see all around his vehicle as he drives… like literally laptop screens in his vehicle as he sees stuff.

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    My buddy has 7 cell cameras in pieces hes never stepped foot in other than to hang the cell cams. He didnt want to waste time if there really wasnt anything there. Now hes got a lot better idea of where deer are going even on pieces hes not hunting. For him, he gets a picture of a deer at 3 pm...

    Farming your own ground

    Agree with above- it’s going to be drastically different depending on how much you can do yourself and offset some things. I’d take rent personally- I say that as I just rented another 80 acres but up here, rent is a bit higher. Between my dad and uncle, we have all the equipment- and my cousin...
