You must have a way better thermal than me. I called two in last night. they both hung up around 400 yards. Due to weather conditions things were a little more hazy than normal. There is no way I could have told you with 100 % certainty that those weren't deer. I'm pretty certain but I did not...

How long did you leave them there?

I wonder how many deer are shot having been mistaken for coyotes through a thermal and left without saying a word? I don't know how often it happens, but I promise you it happens. I have mistaken a small deer for a coyote more than once looking through my thermal in long grass. Never to the...

Yes, they are coming into heat. I'm seeing a lot more lately as well.

Lol, I don't want a county. I like to manage deer, not people.

Do you still have the sheer or did you abandon it for the mulcher? I'm looking to try a new attachment for dealing with cedars and some other junk this year. A puller would be the most economical but limited on size. Is a sheer worth the cost?

They have a setting for exactly that. I have mine set to send pics at midnight and noon. Midnight only is an option though. I do not see an option for a 24 hour delay which is what would be needed per this law. I would think that would be an easy option to add though.

Interesting, I could get on board with this. It still allows for remote monitoring of property, just shut them down a day before you go hunt and keep them off while hunting.

I've thought about this myself. I'm a little bothered by the idea of limiting the deer's entrance and escape options with a fence while actively hunting. It'd sure be nice to have a fence that didn't require the constant maintenance of spraying that a hot wire needs though.

I'd like to see them nip this in the bud before it becomes a big thing. No supplemental feeding at all during deer season seems like a pretty crystal clear way to do it.

Welcome!

I hate the thought of this. Feeders and baiting is not the direction I want iowa hunting culture to go. Even if we can't hunt over them.

I've tried it the last 2 years doing 4 rows of each. Even with an electric fence up all summer, the deer destroyed the bean rows. The corn just acts as a big funnel that guides them up and down the rows of beans. Also, if you're broadcasting fertilizer, you waste some dollars. I'm done with...

Thanks, that's exactly what I want to do. Is there anything restricting travel on the drive wheels? Do they drop when you pick it up or do they stay fixed?

Does anyone here have a 4 row deere 7000 that's been stripped down and converted to be 3 point mounted? I'd like to see some pictures if anyone could provide. I'm thinking of doing this to one of my 7000s to be able to trailer with it mounted on the tractor. I'd like to eliminate everything...

200" deer on public land was the norm?

Stay strong, prayers for your wife.

Is a person safe to wait and order in the spring or is there a chance of supply running short?

Awesome buck! I too sometimes miss the days of going out hunting with no real idea what could show up.

I've listened to all the podcasts as well and still have not been convinced I need to switch to the latest fad. I'm not hunting rhino, I'm hunting whitetail. I've been using the 4 blade grim reapers since 2015. I've killed a pile of deer in that time. I have yet to not get a pass through...
