Bingo! The small tracts each have 2 or 3 hunters taking their limits. What once was 400 Acres taking 2-3 bucks and several does is now 5-10 parcels with a at least a dozen bucks and hard to say how many does taken. We own a 30 acre chunk that fits what you're saying. The guy that bought 20...

I gave you a like for about 50% of your post. Several good points. A few bad points.

I had never personally met the guy and won't be there most likely next weekend but will see if my brother or a mutual friend can find out.

Hunted South of Iowa City and deer numbers were really good. Didn't come across any dead deer. Also hunted some in Monroe county without finding any dead. However a guy in our group from Davis County said a farmer friend of his found dozens of dead deer. I've also heard some in Monroe found a...

Thoughts and prayers to you and your wife.

How far gone can a carcass be and still get tested? I was pheasant hunting and came a across a couple of dead deer. One was a pretty nice buck but both have been dead long enough to be ravaged.

It's always difficult to know but lack of blood doesn't mean a lot. Their clotting ability is insane. He's a hurting unit otherwise he wouldn't have kept bedding down. I know they will often circle back so make sure you have also looked closer to your stand. Good luck!

Mine too! It's my birthday and very rarely am I not hunting on my birthday. Congrats on the buck!

Heard it's hitting Van Buren and Davis county pretty hard. Anyone else finding dead bucks?

Dang hopefully you get a chance to go. I am really hoping to go for the first time some time this year. Really enjoyed your pictures.

Any luck this year?

The best thing everyone can do is to never watch any of these clowns shows or even mention their names. I didn't even know who OP was talking about until I read the thread.

They should have lost hunting rights for life. Those with public influence should be held to even higher standards imo. Kind've like a cop who breaks the law. He should get the extra big hammer thrown at him.

I milled this hickory with my chainsaw and made a river coffee table. Pictures don't do it justice for how nice it turned out. It really sucked milling though.

When is the end of season banquet held?

Multiple spotted fawns in Late November this year in separate locations. I burn firewood. Springs are way colder than they used to be overall. I now have to run the stove some 8 months a year. I think that is affecting the birth times. It used to be May was hot and boats were out in force...

My buddy and his family have trapped their limit each year for several years now near Van Buren. I believe they are allowed 2 each.

Here is my set up. It will do better next year when the pond is hopefully fuller. I just got the house this fall and have been remodeling it but stepped out for half a day to run a trench over 400' from my machine shed and ran field tile from the gutters to drain into the pond. It was really...

I just bought a small house with a small pond. I ran pex from my machine shed to the pond. Hooked up to a septic pump. It finally froze over during that last -40 wind chill crap, but the ice was very thin and took 2 days of that arctic cold to do it. I could push it with a stick to break...

Hang it and don't skin it until the next morning. It's a great way to test your grip strength. Don't ask me how I know and I can promise you won't ever do it again.
