I found a buck yesterday in Van Buren County. I had seen him at 15 yards 36 hours earlier apparently healthy other than a small amount of saliva running from one side of his mouth. I’m guessing 4 years old.
I’d probably end up having a disaster. I’d be tempted to get a pop-up blind and avoid the risks. I’m not very adventurous at the age of 74.
Let us know how your hunt goes. Making memories! Good luck!
My dam has had major work done on it, with lots of dirt moved.
I have an old harrow I can use on it. I’d like some advice on what to plant on it. I have some cereal rye, wheat, and Crimson clover. My local go to, Iowa-Missouri Hybrids is temporarily closed. Is there somewhere else I could...
These are a couple of random thoughts with little serious research.
Prevent the use of more cross bows. It’s hard to allow greatly increased use of something and then try to take it away. Don’t wait on this.
Shorten the deer season….consider starting later, ending earlier, shorten...
I live in a state that allow cross bows to be used by anyone during archery season. Unless I missed something, a person can hunt depending on the season, with a cross bow and/or rifle. The rut is during gun season.
I believe Iowa should keep the toothpaste in the tube.
Our neighborhood touches base during the year and discuss the availability of food. We all see a good many deer, and lots of deer some days.
We usually shoot a few does. We watch our food supply, especially going into January through March.
I’d like to get a few small Concordia trees, or maybe some acorns. Dbltree and I planted a few over 10 years ago. Mine were mowed down and killed.
Thought I’d post here to help keep up with this thread. Thanks!
Might be a good chance to drop a few trees to funnel deer where you want them to travel. Dbltree was a master at this and there should plenty of information on how he did this.
