I agree Jdubs. I will take it one step further and say it's a lifestyle choice. In our situation we could have a new house and all new everything. The "keeping up with the Jones" thing is not for us. We spend our money on ground, conservation, etc. We just live modest and focus energy on a...

For sure it has taken significant jumps. The dream of owning dirt is waning for many working class families. Sad situation.

This...I have had similar experiences with does too. I learned the hard way, when a doe(s) find you, they will congregate and watch the general vicinity in the future. I am a creature of habit and I like having the same, nice and comfy tree stands sets every year. I've learned the more I mix...

Jmac, please tell me you meant to say "walk" in for #2...lol

I love the Manzella gloves. I've tried all the high end gloves and these have been the best for me. Similar to everyone else, I keep my hands covered in a muff or heater body suit but always wear these Manzella light to mid-weight bowhunter gloves. Sportsman's Warehouse seems to keep them in...

Silt basin Silt basin full Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did some calculations based on hydro logical numbers online. I demanded a silt basin and we are building 2 more terraces, one about 200 yards above the silt basin and another through a water way that leads directly to the pond. Long story on this pond. We entrusted the govt to guide us...

We just finished a pond build 2 1/2 weeks ago and it is almost full. Who would have thought it would be full already? I am looking for some advice. I did not have time to get structure in but I have a small boat that I can do that with. I have been advised that I can stock immediately even...

love this thread!

Heartbreaking...

Congrats! Nothing like owning your own chunk of dirt. Any place that we bought, we added a line in the PA asking to have access for recreation. Agreeing not to make any changes until after closing of course.

I absolutely agree. Not always good to clear one path just to access the stand.

thanks guys...

Where does everyone send soil samples and how quickly do you get results?

I will turn off almost every Africa and Texas hunt and agree with the overly phony junk. Also, kids, I don't care to watch kids hunting. That is more of a deeply personal thing for the family and not so much of a thing I want to watch. There are some really good streaming shows...The White...

I was reading the farm bill thread and thought this would be a good topic to post since the info is fresh... We have a farm that was in CRP when we bought it and 20 years later, we want to try to move back into a CRP or similar program. I have been in contact with our local FSA but they are...

Is Bill Winke's show no longer on TV?

Our area is very similar. Observation stands have worked well for us but they take patience and a good pair of binoculars. From those stands we ask why they are using a certain trail. Old farm entrances (gates), old barns or tree lines that have been removed, etc. I have spent several...

Possibly a DIY section? Something like a place where folks who build their own stands, steps, cabins, water holes, etc...There is already some of that stuff on here but maybe have a spot for it all. And a recipe/cooking section.

I am thinking it is time to spring for one. Any suggestions on what would be a good fit for southeast Iowa?
