I sat in the corner of my farm due to wind, which is usually a good in and out spot for our farm. I did not see a deer but I watched one opossum walk through and then 2 more on it's trail a half hour later so I think the opossum rut is on... So catching up on my last week: I was no where near...

I think you questions are good ones and I don't see any jealousy in your post at all. I'm going off the original topic but this is how I view the "upper crust" of hunting personalities... I'm sure plenty of folks on here have talked to Lee, he is so accessible and is willing to share any info...

Will you be keeping old conversations? I enjoy looking back on some of those...

Insurance companies are evil and the FB is on a mission to destroy the deer herd. Join the Iowa Bowhunters Association...

One thing that is down in our area are yotes. Not sure if that plays a role but it has become a hot ticket for young hunters, I get hit up alot by young guys wanting to get after them. The yote numbers were crazy high about 4-5 years ago but they have slowly came down.

Thanks all, I will do that. I am not a big fan of sunscreen so i try to avoid it. I will check out the Guide...

As I get older, I try to watch my sun exposure. I know Huk has a lot of gear but what does everyone wear for sun shirts, hats etc? Long days in a boat and on a tractor make me more cautious as I get ready to hit 50. My mom has to have spots removed every year since she's hit her 70s. Trying to...

I think you could change that to all people tell lies, be it from memory lapse, mis-information, mis-speak, or just flat out lies. The difference, we just don't have millions of people hanging on our every word. As far as an honest president, no one would vote for a truly honest president and...

Spot on...

The thought of losing my parents breaks my heart. My folks are aging and in reality I will not have my folks for too many more years. Mom and dad are way more important than a set of antlers...Just my opinion. Enjoy the trail cam pics and whatever else you can do as a family. Keep in mind...

We live on our 180. Can't say we'd do anything different but it took us 18 years to put it all together. Patience is the key as well as knowing the generational status of surrounding ground. We bought our first 80 in 1998 from a son who lived 200 miles away. The mother was 70 at that time...

I have done a horizontal rub the last few years in a main travel corridor and I seem to get activity around it quite often. I don't think it draws deer into the area but it seems to pull them to that point as they are walking by and I put my best cell cam there. I also make it a point to start...

Good friends, who own a habitat business have one and they love it. They like it for mowing native grasses because the flail, if properly maintained, does not pull plants out by the roots and of course chops the material better, which allows for better and quicker regrowth.

I have had this same thought. I wonder what the laws are "protecting" air space above ones property?

I don't have access to a drill. I will either have to spray and broadcast or spray wait and till.

I have about 2.5 acres yet to go and I will be spraying this weekend. I did mow 2 weeks ago. You think winter peas will have plenty of time to get going yet?

I can only speak to Southern Iowa but I will echo the same thing as others...it's all about the neighbors. Looking at my farm from the air it looks perfect but the reality is tremendous hunting pressure, brought on by having everything easily accessible, has drawbacks. We have good deer but...

any suggestions for a reputable conservation minded logger around the Albia area?

Looks great...You certainly have the fever!

Great looking build. How many acres did you end up with? My folks were considering this same thing. They did not want to spend over $120k. Do you think they could get something built like this for that price?
