Have you discussed w/ Sheriff's office? What do they say is the solution for his repeated defiant trespassing?

HCH --- I have to tell you - for a guy who's a self proclaimed "conservative republican", you sure sound lvery liberal/socialist with all of your ideas about the government opening private lands to public hunting, private ponds to public fishing, etc. I think you need to re-think where you...

I'm presuming that you don't personally have any land enrolled in CRP? Trust me, its a big hassle --- initial and yearly paperwork, limitations on what you can/cannot do with it after you have let the government in your door, etc.--- all in exchange for minimal payments. To have you suggesting...

HCH --- I think what might have some people a little tick'd is your suggestion that because they receive rental $$$ from the government, in exchange for not farming certain acres of their property, they should also then allow those areas to be open for public hunting? And you justify this...

Yeah, would be helpful if we had some idea as to the general location of the property....

Joe, I know we're on the same side here --- but I disagree with your interpretation. Immediately above the a. b., etc it says "Trespass shall mean one or more of the following acts:" Within "a." it lists various acts including intent to commit a public offense, alter, damage, harass, etc. But...

Well, here's a link to the actual IA Trespass Law from 1999, that I presume is still the most current. Agree with replies above that nothing therein agrees with what I had been told by CO's. I will be getting back to them, now that I have the actual statute and language, and ask for...

Well, I've "caught" (via trailcams), FOUR different individuals on my farm since late September. One was in a vehicle and got access via a farm/tractor road ....not far from where I had a different trailcam (new Reconyx-Hyperfire) stolen during last week of December. Cannot prove this truck-guy...

Agree w/ Risto ... but speaking of loopholes ... you will find that most states that have had their wild deer test positive for CWD believe that it originated with captive deer/elk. If the main purpose of this feeding/baiting ban is to prevent communicable diseases like CWD from infecting our...

And if anyone has a carry permit from another state, it is honored in IA ... so no need to go thru the training, etc.

If IDNR has such cutting-edge, earth-shattering research to justify this ban on minerals or supplemental feeding as written in 481A.41 (arguably the most restrictive deer management regulation in any state or province in North America), WHY hasn't their evidence been shared with Iowa's sportsmen...

HUH??:confused:

But the point of this proposed bill, 481A.41, is supposedly to protect/preserve the health of the entire deer herd statewide ... right? Whether foodplots on private land that is located next to public land effects the herd movement, etc. is irrelevant. No different than if one private...

Paul, Just curious exactly how you go about "lightly tilling in" your cereals and larger seeds peas/beans? I think you use a roto-tiller for most tillage....so do you just use it for this as well but run it less deep? Or maybe just pull it without engaging the PTO? In PA, I have a really...

Roadking .... depending on your deer density, 1/2 - 1-ac sized plots are plenty big for clover, brassica, cereal grains, etc. But how old is your clover plot that is "due for replanting"? I have been able to maintain certain clover plots for several years, when in good locations, by mowing...

I'd say negative on that. I think you want as clean as seed bed as possible, which I think would best be accomplished by spraying w/ Roundup and 2,4-D right after the first frost. In a perfect world, even hit it with that same combo before then --- like now --- so chances of any weeds/grasses...

Paul, As July 25-30 is ideal time to seed brassicas, when do you ideally like to seed a rye, oats, pea blend?

How many lbs/ac of P & K would you put down now (no soil test)?

"In a perfect world", would you top-dress the rye/clover with some fertilizer about now to give it a jump?

I'd have concerns about Plateau supressing the clover component of the mix. Otherwise, sounds good.
