The kid is an animal. Charlie is so hooked it’s bananas. Shoots his bow non stop. Hunts when it’s 90 degrees & in the stand 4 hours before dark (few areas he’s not allowed in ;) ). He’s hunted 5 years now I think. Crazy amount of hunts & he did this hunt & sit all on his own. He’s had a few...

U could hit em yet & probably wouldn’t hurt. If they were mine- I’d hit em & spread rye in there. Farm boy is right but if u say S iowa…. A bit of time left in for this warm weather. Rain sure would be nice too!!!

Every single hunter experiences that!!! It motivated me to hunt more spots & then hunt a lot during the rut hoping for a cruiser. The one part where I’ve personally changed…. In say, my teens & twenties…. I kinda had a pressure to get a buck. Age & success changed that for me…. I really do...

We need #’s to start to somewhat get to a fraction of reality. The dnr understands the vast vast vast majority of deer go un-reported. We need the data when discussing impact with legislators - especially those that want all deer eradicated. I spoke with a guy who found just under 20 deer...

Share this. This will make a huge difference. They are monitoring this closely & this is why they took the time to add this link. We need awareness of this link & we need folks to report #’s!!!!!! This data will adjust deer quotas & also be a very important data point for the DNR to have...

MN hasn’t voted for a Republican since NIXON!! They didn’t even vote for Reagan!!!! I’d love to see MN join up with CANADA & bring us down to 49 states. Waltz…. That’s MN’s choice!!! State is a goner!!! Minneapolis ruins it for everyone. The hell hole corrupt, worst cities in America...

Yes- it’s rare where the problem is real. They do exist. What happens in a lot of areas in IL (& MO, MI, WI, etc)….. u might see a property with say 20-25 does & maybe see a few bucks 2-3 years old. Maybe a 4-5 year old on rare occasion. Most the does will get a pass & the first/best...

Absolutely. Lemme work on this. What I’ve done in the past…. Take any issue & write about 10 versions of the same point or rather…. A variety of emails that concisely spell out issues. Very similar to the “voter voice” email system that IBA uses…. That’s really what any group needs- a...

Had a good discussion on this. Addressed crop damage in iowa & a new movement in Illinois to wipe the deer out. Start around the 20m mark. Let me know what u think. Also available on apple podcast, iTunes, etc etc. Prairie farm podcast- can google it.

I sat in stand yesterday. Was PEACE!!! My son went on his own. First time ever & with a bow. He loved it!!!!!!! I absolutely still love this to the core. When u truly get to take the moment in

They usually break the tubes. Often times the tube gets cut in chunks & I remove it little by little. Otherwise- I’d probably wait until spring to take it off.

I know of 200 acres within 45 mins of Des Moines…. I think it’s about 40% timber & the rest is all income. I think the income is like $30k-ish a year. Great soils & income: CRP & crops. I Also think there’s a CSP on it that pays like $5-15k a year (I can’t recall exactly on that one). Lays...

Bow sling for me as well. Backpack on…. Bow & sling over that- away we go. In the last 5 years…. I’ve gotten to my treestand no less than 6 times without: MY BACKPACK or MY BOW. My adhd gets going & it takes me until I get to the tree to realize it. I have also forgot to put a coat in my...

Absolutely!!! I had my buddy come down twice with his. I went back to one corn field & hand pulled cockleburs & did the hand seeder. 3-4 hours & with a drone it woulda been 20 mins. Ha! Good excercise!

I did it this year. It’s awesome!!!! Several folks I know will be doing soon on larger scale. I’ll do some digging on who could be hired right now. How many acres?

U gonna get that corrected? So frustrating!!!! If I was the “fencing czar” ….. u don’t have cattle against land - u don’t pay for fence!!!!! To make sure it’s not abused- u pay for 1/2 the fence IF you then decide to put cattle on yours within a 10 year or less timeframe. Adverse...

When deer get a taste for turnips & radish- they can destroy em fast!!! I’ve seen even 3-4 years before they figure em out on some farms. I kinda “do it all”. I always have parts of plots in any situation get ruined- those all go to cereal grain plots. I usually seed some areas to...

So we weighed both, 282 & 285 lbs with guts. After guts… about low 250’s. Both were so loaded with fat it’s neat to see. The more fat they have going into the rut- the better. The fact that these 2 horses will not be destroying other bucks this rut has to be a blessing for the younger studs...

Ya. We were late on some bean planting this year and I tried some later maturing in a few areas I planted earlier. In any case- worked great & soybeans were for sure the ticket.

Charlie & Jenna both connected. Jenna is buddies sister & 2 years in a row connected on an old buck. Charlie got that buck I had posted earlier. Charlies buck is 7.5. His 4th buck & biggest. Jenna’s was an Old warrior. He gouged his eye out last year & fought non-stop. Ironically both...
