Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on keeping the bow season open during the gun seasons? Maybe its been discussed here, but I wish they would keep it open. When I lived in MN you could bow hunt during the gun seasons, you just had to wear orange. I know a lot of people wouldn't bother...

OMG! I am not going to be able to sleep for hours after that! Go Clones!

The fish and game trust fund is just that, a trust fund. It has very narrow limits on what it can be used for. http://www.iowadnr.gov/Portals/idnr/uploads/files/legacy_factsheet.pdf The rest of the dnr, including forestry and parks, are funded through the general fund. Of course that gets...

Congrats and great attitude! No one can take that away from you!

Thanks guys. I appreciate the info. I have not shot through paper, and as far as the other tuning techniques, I really don't have a clue about them. As it comes off the string, the noc and fletching end of the arrow seems to flare out to the left, but as I said I seem to shoot pretty good...

I picked up a used LX last year from a friend and killed my first deer with it last night. I had a cheap Jennings before that, and this was a huge upgrade. Watch craigslist as well. As the season wears on and christmas gets closer (people needing money) there is always bows and other hunting...

Nice looking deer! Way to go!

It seems like out of the corner of my eye the arrow comes out a little sideways....... I don't know if there is a term for that. It seems to shoot ok, but also seems to be louder than other bows I see.......

Unfortunately this is so true so often............

No suggestions? I guess maybe it doesn't need all that much tuning. Made a 38 yd shot last night. I do think it is a little loud and I don't know enough about it (bought the bow used last winter) to know what to work on. Anyways, hoping someone could recommend somebody that knows WTH they...

Man I am with you. That movie creeped my out for quite a while. Then again, I am a chicken when it comes to scary movies........... and the dark!

Finally sealed the deal tonight. Here are some pics. He is no monster, but is my personal best with a bow. I will add the story when I am done skinning him out. Anyway, not too much of a story. I put in 36 hours in the stand since wednesday afternoon, and it finally paid off tonight. I...

Damn, I went from goofy thoughts to having that damn song You Make Me Feel by Cobra Starship stuck in my head! I think I am on hour number 3 of the chorus repeating over and over. Help!

Any suggestions on where to go in north central/northeast iowa to get my bow tuned? I shoot a mathews lx and live in Charles City if that helps.

Read the criteria in the rule book. Its online if you don't have one. It spells out all of the situations that qualify you for a LOT tag. In my conversations with the local GW, some of those situations are open for interpretation and interpreted by some GW's differently than others.

Very active morning for me. 10 or so does, several small bucks and a 140's 10 out in the picked corn field. Unfortunately the neighbor has yet to pick his corn. The nice buck came out of the corn, chased all the deer around that were in the field, and then disappeared back into the corn. Since...

If these are on public land they could very well be marking boundaries for a project, such as TSI, timber sale, tree planting etc....... if they don't obviously lead to a stand, please leave them.

You think of while in the stand. For instance, I just watched a doe come out into a picked corn field and was heading to some standing corn, when 2 spike bucks run out and chase her back into the woods. So into my head pops the image of a cute blonde getting out of her car and heading into...
