Thank you. I have heard it’s nice. Surprisingly I haven’t been there...been to all the counties surrounding it but never been to Madison County. Going off my wife’s opinion from her visit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

More than five years since I wrote this post and the dream is finally becoming a reality. I am retiring from the Air Force and moving to Iowa this August. We are buying a house on a few acres outside of Winterset. We are excited for the next chapter!

The Mickey Mouse Boots are the black ones... they are good too but the white ones (Bunny Boots) are for even colder weather.

The above post is spot on! When it gets cold you can't beat the bunny boots (white ones).

I won't use my heavy gear until it's around 20 degrees and below. I own an HBS but I have found that I like Cabela's Stand Hunter Extreme Insulated Coveralls more. I stay just as warm and I am free to take care of business without unzipping. They do have more bulk but I haven't found that to be...

Time/Date Stamped Photos of the buck. I was told he grossed 204 and netted 197.

What's weird about it?

Not sure of the background on the mount.

Well... I can post these pictures now that the buck is dead. A friend of mine hunted this public land/big woods/mountain WA buck for the past 3 years. He was at the local sportsman's show this past weekend and saw it hanging on the wall.

Gundog.. I tend to agree with you. I personally do not plan to lease but I can't fault a person who works hard and uses that money to enjoy what little free time they have. Land leasing for the purpose of hunting is all part of free market capitalism and thus I support it completely. I do think...

I mentioned this earlier but it's lost in the thread by now.. I am currently living in Germany. I am still a WA resident and even have my entire hunting setup, truck and all.. in storage back in WA. If I lived there currently I would certainly entertain that... in fact I could help a guy out...

Thank you. Regarding tag draw...It really depends on what you want to go after. Moose/Goat/Sheep can be tough and they are once in a lifetime draws but it's certainly possible to draw a Moose at some point. Quality Elk is tough too but honestly you can get on big elk in any elk areas.... There...

:D Can you clarify why? Like I said it's not all about the whitetail...Des Moines has a lot more opportunity for my kids and if you draw a 5-6 hour circle around Des Moines there is tons of opportunity for the kids future.. and WA isn't really my home... just the closest thing I have to a...

I'm definitely hearing a lot of that. For access and quality WA is definitely no slouch.

I guess it's not just the young pups that trespass ... certainly old enough to know better.

Here is a video of a friend of mine shooting a velvet 150 class buck in WA a few years ago.. It's self filmed/self edited but I think it's very watchable compared to most self-filmed stuff I see... (including my own unfortunately). https://www.wevideo.com/view/318149053

:D I owned that domain once... never did anything with it so I let it go.

Every once in awhile these guys will show up on your whitetail cam..especially when you are hunting high but also in other areas that have decent populations. This is in a spot where I was hunting a whitetail at 5K feet.
