    My farmer friend recommended 1 J for plenty of shocking power. That's what I put together for my set up.

    Thermal Hunting Regulation Ideas, Poaching, all groups- SOLUTIONS!

    So the CO's say they stop and check poachers and they use the excuse that they are coyote hunting. What I don't understand, or what my question is: what do they need to ticket/prosecute even if coyote hunting was shut down? Can't you legally have a loaded gun in the vehicle if you have your...

    IW 2026 Poll Results

    I completely agree with iowaqdm. On the thermal issue, even if we get rid of thermal hunting completely, a poacher can still be out in the field with a thermal rifle, correct? If he's stopped, he can just say he's target shooting, testing it out, etc. Doesn't he have to be caught shooting a...

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    I meant the percentage of 4 and 5 year olds getting shot is higher now, not that there are more of them. I meant more are getting shot making far fewer 6 and 7 year olds.

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    One thing I've been thinking throughout this thread is the major disconnect of some of the people on this thread to the average hunter. The stat from the other thread summarizes my point the best: 40% of Iowa bucks shot are 1.5 year olds. There's a lot of talk on here about 4 year olds getting...

    Poll Question #8: Would you support legislation to eliminate a buck tag

    I don't understand that question. Does your landowner also hunt their land and use their landowner tag to shoot deer themselves? I'd say the majority of permission hunters get to hunt land because the landowner doesn't hunt themselves, therefore those landowner tags go unused. That's the case...

    Poll Question #8: Would you support legislation to eliminate a buck tag

    The argument is that going to a one buck state would greatly improve deer age/structure. Indiana gets used often as an example. If we truly believe that going to a one buck state will improve deer hunting, then I can support that - going to a one buck state. The argument loses a lot of...

    Poll Question #8: Would you support legislation to eliminate a buck tag

    If single buck tag is the best thing ever, then make it a single buck tag. No second buck tag for land owners because single buck tag is the way to improve deer age/ structure. Yes, I'll support single buck tag. No, i won't support single buck tag for non land owners and two buck tags for land...

    Orange Army

    I gun hunt also, but the orange army shot 25 does off my 250 acre permission hunt farm during 2nd season. They also gave at least some of them away, so they were killing them just to kill them... Sent from my SM-S711U using Tapatalk

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    4996 antlered deer were harvested with LOT tags last year. Is it safe to say those were all second bucks? If we get rid of those second bucks, that goes a long way...

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    From Skips post: 3) KEY DATA…. BUCKS SHOT BY STATE…. INDIANA: 50,000. IOWA: 45,000. MISSOURI: 145,000 I know the number accuracy has been discussed already (I see 43,000 antlered, 8,100 button, and 1,100 sheds), but here's my question. How many were shot from party hunting? Are we getting rid...

    IA Bowhunter Survey reminder

    You can also fill it in online this year. I did that route. You basically just have to open the link up for each day and submit them one at a time.

    Poor Mans Plot

    If you are scared to burn, you can drag a harrow around. Once it's "full", pull to the edge of the plot, pick it up to "empty" it, and then keep dragging. You can get the plot pretty clean pretty quick with that method, especially if you have a second person to lift the harrow while the first...

    Spraying clover and alfalfa?

    I know clethodim takes over a couple of weeks to show results, but any idea how long 2-4DB takes? I sprayed last Friday. The weeds were pretty tall and I'm worried that they aren't going to die, but not sure how long to wait before I mow them down. I want to go check early next week, but...

    Missouri Survey on Non-Resident Hunting

    I can see both sides of the NR argument. For out west, they've limited NR so much that I've quit applying. I have always wanted to make it out there elk hunting, but it seems like wait times are ridiculously high now, so I've stopped applying. That's the negative side. I guess the positive...

    OFFENSE!! 2 Bills to support!! SF 293 & SF 247 EMAIL IN!!! What a great change!!!!

    I don't oppose this bill, but I really think that if we're going to argue that people should only get 2 buck tags (or even 1 buck tag) because it's better for the deer herd, then it should be across the board. However, I do agree it's going to take a real special 2 acre parcel to shoot your LOT...
