I went out for first shotgun season this morning on public land in Monona County. Around noon I came out to find my truck window shattered. Luckily nothing was stolen and there was no trace of slugs or foreign objects in the vehicle. I don't know if others have ever had problems with this in the...

I know how you feel. I spring and summer scouted on public and found lots of good deer. Once season has started I have yet to see a shooter. To make things worse two of my brothers and their friend came down last weekend to hunt and in their first three days they shot a 14pt (gross 150s) and 2...

Congrats. Good luck to you and be sure to post any pictures of your successful hunt.

I will be doing some hunting in SE Nebraska as I have just been stationed there and will have training for the whole month of July. So I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this area and could give me any ideas into which public areas to scout or avoid since I don't have as much time as I'd...

After meeting and talking with hoythunter at the classic I picked up a copy of the dvd. I purchased it due to the proceeds going to help dbltree and if the dvd was good that would be a bonus. I'd never heard of outreach outdoors and without this site would never have heard of them or Paul Knox...

I've never hunted public in NE Iowa but experiences on public in other areas of the state have taught me that you can find spots during archery season where you can be alone. Try to find small overlooked areas or find big areas where you can get away from others. Most of the bowhunting pressure...

Good luck finding his sheds. Keep us posted.

Sorry it ended that way for you muddy. I understand how EHD is transmitted and it is linked to drought and the mud around watering holes but why has this disease just now taken Iowa by storm? I'm assuming there were years past where Iowa experienced droughts but I never heard about EHD then so...

I've moved to Iowa from Northwest Wisconsin about 4 years ago. Despite the overharvest of does and EHD outbreaks that many cite as the causes for lower deer numbers in Iowa, the hunting on public in Iowa still seems better than the area in Wisconsin where I hunted. I think the private land in...

I can't speak for the black rack but I do own a rack pack. I tried using it on several occasions this year without a lot of luck. My brother used real antlers and had much more success when I had none. I did manage to rattle in and harvest an 8 pt while sitting on the ground in late November. I...

I was on the bus going to school this morning and read this article. Granted, it may be hard for them to do this on a large scale but the thought of them doing this instead of hunters is scary. At least big money hasn't opted for this approach in the "high" doe areas in Iowa yet...
