Just so we are clear, you're saying 90% of houndsmen conspire to run dogs into non-permission land?

And of course the "humane society" has to sound off. We can blame them and their type for the increase. They killed the fur trade.

To add to your social media discussion Skip, I think everyone has figured out the formula for their own hunting show. Editing is no longer the black magic it used to be with modern tech and YouTube offers an easy format to show off the product. Use social media to promote and now some folks...

Well stated and agree 100%!

I think 2022 has been good for the deer on our place, that said the hunting pressure is like I've never seen before. We have some internet show personalities hunting next door and they have taken a toll on the up and comers over the last 3 years. 1) Deer #’s in general? At least average 2)...

Yeah, I can see the old high fence from my farm but they only ever had whitetail to my knowledge.

Hearing a Sika deer was hit around Eddyville by a car. Anyone hear the same?

Great buck...congrats!

Just got down and came to work. Pretty mild, a couple does not being bothered and my pet six pointer came to see me at daylight like always. Had a possible target buck work a scrape about 80 yards from me. I forgot my binos but he was solid for sure. Pretty slow morning on our farm all in all...

I bought one last month from gunrnr, best hunting investment in years! Game changer for my aging knees...

MW is interesting. One of the teams gained permission on a neighbors farm and I thought it might be for the greater good because they would be quality hunters. In reality, it's all about swatting what ever you can to lay down video and then take some trick pictures to make a 145 look like a...

I believe most studies are skewed by politics, that said I often wonder if cats kill because they are hungry or because that's just what they do? IMO, most predators kill because that's what they are programmed to do. I believe the notion that they only kill when they are hungry is a bit naive...

We are financing as we speak. I will let you know what the current rate is soon...

Same here. I did the same with ABATE of IA as well.

Used to never be a question for me but I have been on the fence lately.

How many of you guys have done an interseed via frost with clover? I have stand we did in August and we got lucky with a few rains but it's not great at the moment. It is a bit spotty. I thought I had heard that interseeding clover can be a hit or miss but never done it myself...

This will ruffle feathers but this is as big a threat as any...

Interesting you mention that. Nov 12 always seemed to be the key day for me in S Iowa but I have seen a shift as well. I wonder if it has to do with an old matriarch doe I had a buddy take out about 3 years ago. Like most, she got to be really cranky and a PIA so he took her out during...

What are your thoughts on backing off weight as we get older? At 52 years old I am looking to back down to 60 pounds next year from 70 to prevent any shoulder damage. Is it better to buy a bow an actual 60 pound bow or just crank down a 70?

I'm not so sure. The deer herd was down in our area from the 2002 - 2005 peak. It was well in hand in our area but like everything else, unqualified legislators try to make snap decisions based on incomplete data and lobbying $$.
