If Iowa had a rule like Missouri do you think it would help? Lots less reaping and picking off Toms going to roost. Just a question, I don’t know if stopping hunting at noon would make a difference. Mother Nature seems to work itself out eventually whether it’s good for us or not
A blind man with a slingshot could have shot a gobbler where I hunt 10 years ago in SE Iowa. It went from simple to hunt them, to darn near impossible. Sad deal
The amount of fewer turkeys I’ve been seeing over the last 10 years is really concerning to me. SE Iowa by Columbus Junction. I don’t even want to shoot one, just like how the pheasants disappeared.
Don’t soak or scrub because you can lose color. Use air compressor to remove most dust and lightly sprinkle or set out in the rain a couple times to get the rest off.
Don’t let this guy ruin this great site for you. I have a shop full of racks with no tag, just my work order number which corresponds to the hunters info so our DNR can contact them with any issues.

I made it a point to grow and leave natural browse on my land instead of corn piles in the dead of winter. It’s been even better during these tough conditions I’ve noticed. I do live in a highly managed neighborhood so they might be eating grain other times of the day, but they browse like...
My neighbor has found 12 here in SE Iowa. I’ve found 3 without even looking for them, was ice fishing. Took in 5 deer last few days of the season where both sides dropped after the shot. This ice pack seems to have accelerated the shedding in my area, but it’s probably the same as every year.
Everywhere I hunt the food is gone by late season. With so many landowners around me trying to hold deer by leaving corn and beans standing I really struggle. My farmer loves to till right after he is done combining.
