Ha you just called me out. Still use my bird barrel 870 and my Knight

I don’t disagree with that statement at all- I said in a different post somewhere- the price of beef is going to hurt the deer herd if we keep handing out excess tags

Well 99,000… I can’t even believe it but I think people “fill tags because they have them”… yikes

This exact thing. Nothing against them- but TBI hasn’t helped the cause of that…

I see me too

“Farmers flexibility to reduce numbers” Doe only tags then. 1000 acres of corn fields only don’t hold many deer in the winter. Those smaller pieces (especially up north here) hold A LOT more deer then you pry realize

Assuming this does nothing to urban hunting? I know an “outdoor film guy” who has shot 3 deer every year for the last 4 years (booners included) with an urban tag in the mix…

Absolutely understand what you’re saying- but that’s everything. The regs only keep legal people legal- season dates, bag limits, hunting hours, the list goes on. I was always told- a lock will only keep honest people honest. Same with regs- it will only keep legal hunters legal. However- with...

My opinion- and not a good one- but the following is what I see needs to happen Raise population while waiting to see how the NR closed loop hole changes numbers (if any) Limit doe tags drastically- heck even only put a few in a draw per county (I assume that would be hard though) Turn youth...

Skip- question for anyone actually- is there any data for age of hunters for this data? I agree with the post a few ago that said were how many pages and replies into a pissing match. Lots of ways to slice it- but I also love this site for the knowledge and legit debate we can have without name...

I heard on a podcast today- a guy hunted Iowa every year because of the tag loophole (party hunting) and he killed his 4 biggest bucks due to that…. Do we think it was more abused than anyone knows- and maybe that it’s mostly closed now- it will help? The population is terrible- yes- but if we...

I know a Ted Miller from Butler County- he’s not your guy although his shed of bucks is impressive. Pry around Truro- all the guys I work with say they have “several” 14 point bucks in their backyards every night

In the same boat- although I have only bowhunted for about 7 days total in the last 5 years so there’s that this fall and next year isn’t looking so good already but we shall see. Serious note- I’d give up a tag- but I still see a LOT being valuable but needs to make sense. NOT just an acreage...

I’ve only got little plots- mainly due to I’m surrounded by large ag fields that they go to at night. But guess where they go every other time they get the munchies?

I went and looked and he took all of his videos down of the long range shooting. He had several of them that were pokes. And typically they were larger deer too- not just little guys or does.

Buy it. I’m debt free next month (paying off the current hunting property) and going to be in the market for something, the wife is against much traveling since we did that for years and have 2 little girls. But I’m in an ag area and everything is stupid priced- so we will see how much movement...

a local here did a video shooting a buck with his smokeless at 832 yards... dropped it stone dead... he does all kinds of "distance muzzleloader shoots", great shot, but doesnt give the deer a chance at all... (and he had several people with him as they hunt in a group during late muzzy)

Everyone says 1 buck state- “look at Ohio- it works”… but look how population changed for them. The simple thing Iowa needs to do- hear me out- no doe tags for 2 years unless you’re a youth hunter. Bet we’d already see some changes because there will be more deer

Almost at 91,000…. What are we thinking now?!
