So over the years let me be honest- I grabbed an arrow and shot it. I’ve tuned, made sure all is good- but I feel like I want to “geek out” with some arrow setups. Specifically I’m thinking I want more FOC, heavier arrow for a few west planned trips. Mule deer and Elk specifically, already...

I’ve got neighbors who shoot guns all fall- during prime times usually. It’s just when they can use their property- can’t really do much about it. A few years ago in Allamakee we had the neighbor who would sit and fly his plane over because he liked looking at the deer- he would do it for an...

Heard Lakosky recently say he supports 3 tags so we don’t have such extreme high grading

I wish cell cam companies would just make all cameras dump at midnight… take care of a lot of those issues

Same- otherwise I run regular sd cams. Cell cams are only at “traffic” areas (driveways/lanes where people are)

I dated a girl from Buffalo County for awhile many years ago- her dad always told me everything they made book got entered regardless- how else do you maintain the #1 ranking of the best county. In a lengthy conversation it seemed like people were paying every one who entered (gift cards...

Remember back then, when every woodlot had 3-5 hunters but no cameras.... now every woodlot has 3-5 cameras and no hunters. Everyone wants to talk about 1 buck, minimum parcel size, blah blah blah.. Cell cams NEED to go. I recently saw an article where a guy was going on a Elk hunt, but his cell...

Find a good job and save money. I’d never be able to at 20-29 with how I started. Let me be clear- it’s not impossible but I started my job at $10/hr, which paying bills cut that pretty quick. Mind you- I work for a very good utility company but they just don’t pay (benefits are phenomenal). My...

A guy close to me put up fence around his 160…. Wanted to “keep deer out”…. Well let’s be real, he thought he was starting his own hunting farm and was having people pay to hunt in it. There were holes, deer jumped it- it was a mess. The two problems with any high fence- if a deer is in the...

Social media is the problem- how many guys brag about multiple bucks (even if in different states). Or if we really want to be a producer

Is this the one that was “speed” questions and you kept talking loved it

I love Albert Lea- mainly it’s a stones throw away which is super nice.

SW Iowa I feel is a sleeper (or was). Montgomery/Adams/Taylor

We can’t shut off the rain- I’ve got 2 acres of pumpkins and they are going crazy good. Almost too much water to be honest.

Not to mention your driveway will turn into a salt lick for deer

I couldn’t get in this morning- or I should say- I wasn’t waiting as long as it was taking. Now this afternoon it’s pretty responsive

Was a product pimp for awhile- literally took all the fun out of hunting. Gave it up and been happier ever since. It was literally selling your soul- and it was big companies I did it for. Now I see one group I helped changes their products every year- so clearly they don’t believe in anything...

I do bees. It’s a money trap for sure but we do specialty crops and need them. It’s for sure not something I would be doing otherwise.

So this is going to sound dumb- but we plant them in pasture type area for our chickens- reduces the feed bill significantly. Deer don’t bother them “much” here- and they are in a high deer area. We get the occasional does they come in but there hasn’t been much of a draw here it seems. Not...

Grew up a rough life where no one in my family "wanted" to buy any land. My dad wasnt the best role model, my grandpa refused to "pay" to be able to hunt. My parents never helped me with my first car, my schooling, anything of that nature. I worked the jobs I could growing up (lived on a farm...
