The first Pic is my first deer killed in the early 90s The 2nd Pic is my first bow deer killed in 1998 The 3rd Pic is my first "big" buck. 144" 8 point killed in 2003. It's amazing how quickly time goes by.

Based on my limited experience this past year, I'd wait till at least the middle of May. My early plantings took too long to get going and I ended up with a lot of competition. I think I'd of been better off with a later kill and planting into warmer soils so the rc would take right off.

Stop rubbing it in! Bone dry yet over here.

I post some of my kills here and on habitat talk. I do that because I feel I should give back to the sites and add content occasionally instead of only consume. If nobody posts, those sites will die. Anyone who was around before skip bought the site knows what that looks like. I can't kill sligh...

Found a couple more today too

No one deserves it more. That's an amazing animal, huge congratulations!

I could be way wrong, but I think we're seeing tines from the other side. I can see him being an 8. you should make a post about the bear. I'm guessing most us iowa guys are pretty ignorant about bear hunting.

Wow, that's a stud! At Charlie's age I would of fallen out of the tree in that scenario.

If you can catch them, bring them to the pound.

What are you using for windows? The only windows I've ever been able to seal bugs out with are windows I build myself. They are a pain in the rear to build and far more expensive than just buying a window. I'd rather buy them, but they all suck as far as I can tell.

I used to hate wind for deer hunting. Now a really strong 30+ NW wind in November is the type of day I wait all year for.

Crap, every frigging year.

Awesome! I remember coloring with my daughter in the blind. Hold on to this as tight as you can, it goes fast.

Wow, nicely done!

Ha, I used to walk the railroad tracks and pick up spikes to pound in with a 3 lb hammer. Not exactly a good run and gun method! Before that, it was scrounging for and straightening old nails to pound through through whatever scrap board I could find to get up to a crotch in the tree where I...

I killed my buck over one last year. I don't use it a lot, but in the right circumstance they can be lethal. Mine sure isn't one of those new expensive rigs though. He's been missing an ear for about 15 years. Lol Here he is taking a smoke bath before a successful hunt last October.

I wouldn't say we're devastated in my area. I found 18 ehd dead on 1 property last fall, mostly smaller does and fawns, but it still seemed fairly normal during season. We didn't kill any does on that farm last year but it really didn't feel like they were lacking all that bad. Maybe we...

if I'm reading right, you'll have over 6 acres of other plots with grains, brassicas etc. In that case, if you have someone willing to bale and maintain the alfalfa, I'd let them put the whole field in. Alfalfa is a great plot until late season, then you need grains. I would not go with...

I'd love to hear a review on it once you run it through it's paces.

For some reason I've had a rough time getting it through the first few years. After that, it gets gigantic.
