    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    Take what I say from the perspective of 1 guy but I have had the opportunity to hunt 3 of the best whitetail states for 10+ years in each state (Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana). Hands down the state where the DNR has had the most positive impact on the deer herd is Indiana. Several reasons I say...

    What are you willing to give up

    1. Rifles - we are full rifle in Indiana now, started straight wall and well it didn’t take long. Get rid of all of them including straight walls. I own one. It just for my boy to shoot 2. Cell cam dumps anytime - go to 1 time a day and not during daylight 3. Gun season lengths - 1 week gun...

    Early rut

    I would say I did see rutting activity earlier - but the best activity was still Nov 5 - Nov 12. I have shifted my hunting a bit to include more days in late October but always take the 1-17 of Nov as vacation

    No deer sightings post rut

    Mine have been hammering the food last 2 nights. I have 2 farms where they absolutely poor into late season. Funny because they bed quite a ways away, 1/2 mile or so, but make the jaunt to the food every night. Makes hunting them decently easy when the wind is good!

    Stuck at my cabin (snowstorm ) rant

    I am ok with calling in the dogs and drones if you have done your job tracking the deer and come up empty. To take the shot and immediately go to I am going to use these tools is a little greedy and unprofessional to me! I get wanting to recover your deer - but make the effort to track, learn...

Had an awesome morning hunt that was packed with action from the time I sat down in the stand. Had continuous buck movement with not more than 10minutes of not seeing deer. At about 8:00 I...
