We live in a microwave society…the masses want instant gratification. I will say this, I never told my boys “no” you can’t shoot that buck if he comes by as they were starting their hunting careers (we lived in Nebraska at the time and they couldn’t legally hunt big game until 12 years old)...

I think from what I’m seeing/hearing, the areas of the state that are the droughtiest, mast production is high to very high. The areas that are experiencing closer to normal moisture, production is normal or below average. According to this drought map, I’m blessed to be in one of the “wettest”...

If this has already been asked/posted, my apologies for being redundant. I’m curious what others around the state are seeing for acorn crop? On my farm (Ringgold County) there’s essentially no acorn production this yr, other than shingle oaks. I did have a young Bur Oak in the yard produce...

2.6” at my place in Ringgold county

Same material.

Yep, but man…you should see the results of my 13 acres of 1st yr switch using an atv broadcast spreader. Unreal. Much of it over 5’ already. Small seed boxes are great, but a box that can handle bearded seeds is a non-negotiable for me. Been wayyy too many instances over the yrs when I wanted to...

We’ve been using a DSD for years. I’ve used a couple other brands in the past made with the hard plastic material and agree that they are ridiculously noisy. That said, they worked. Heck, my foam deer targets in the yard start getting destroyed and gouged up every yr starting about 3rd week of...

Question: Why don’t they build one of these with a NWSG box option? I’ve been wanting to pull the trigger on one of these for a few yrs now, but I just can’t justify it until they add tat as an option. Admittedly, I’m not knowledgeable on drills at all, my current rig is a 3 row planter behind a...

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. She’s tough to keep up with, she hunts her tail off and earns it. That said, this was one of the fastest bow hunts from start to finish I’ve ever been a part of in 45 years of hunting…so, anecdotally, I guess, as bow hunters, we get an “easy one” about...

November 8th, 2022, we hopped in a Banks blind on a clover/chicory together at about 2pm. It was Hot and the sun was still too high. About 3:30 the clouds rolled in and I opened up the front window of the blind & rattled. In less than a minute this dude was in the clover plot walking sideways at...

Has anyone here used Q-Ball brand Quinclorac on SG? Label says same % active ingredient as Drive XLR8, but it’s less expensive AND label says works with 10 gal. water per acre vs. most others saying 20 gal. per acre is required. Thanks!

Done! Again! Thank you for being there Skip!

No one called me, but I have gotten 4 responses back from representatives. 2 were boilerplate auto-replies, the other two were specific, written responses to my letter. One Rep agreed with everything in my letter and stated he was also opposed, the other rep (she/her) …it said so in her...

Interesting point of view. While I certainly don’t agree with the notion of “it’s just a deer” I do respect your right to feel that way. In fact, to me a true statement would be, “it’s just a bear”. I’ve killed a couple bears yrs ago. Have had opportunities since. Won’t do it. No interest…none...

Done...mail sent. Thanks for creating a great template, Skip. Kept 70% of what you had, deleted some and added my own spin, experiences, examples, anecdotes, etc. I worked my ass off for 27 years to get back home to Iowa (to get back to the bowhunting I grew up experiencing in the 80's-90's)...

Thanks for all the nice comments!

She had one heck of a first season on the new Iowa dirt. The 10 with the tiny drop was on 10/30 and her second buck was 11/16. Somehow that dude packed 17 scorable points into that stocky compact frame. She hunts her tail off & I couldn’t be more proud. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Am I mistaken that the law in Iowa recently changed regarding trespassing dogs? Isn’t it true that the owners can be ticketed for trespass?

I am required to plant several acres of my CP38E CRP into Early Successional Habitat. Cowpeas are one of the options. I've got about 24 acres, broken up into several different fields. I've identified roughly 15 acres I think would be well suited for cowpeas. I know from the reading i've done...

Hello friends, My apologies if this same question has been asked before, or if I'm posting this in the wrong area...While I've been registered for a number of years, we just moved back to Iowa & I wasn't active while we were living in Nebraska. Great to be back home! I have MCM...
