Came across two separate groups of turkeys one had three mature hens, one of which had two poults. Second group had five hens and four Tom’s/Jake’s with no poults. The long beard of the group was strutting this morning. Another bad year for broods…..

I’ve always heard they were through that area and some old timers say it is because of the rock ledges in that area that give them a place to hibernate. Thoughts?

Thursday to Saturday afternoon 3.15”!! May 1 to last Wed 1.4”……

Those work with a solar panel? Does using a solar panel require rechargeable type batteries?

2.45” last three days. More than we’d had since first of May.

0” but 10 sprinkles!! SW IA, 1.4” since first day of May out of three measurable rains. Nothing for past two weeks.

VERY spotty in NW MO and SW IA. Have had 1.1” since beginning of May!!! And as someone already mentioned these are July and August types of showers. 1” one spot and 0a mile away. No widespread thunderstorms.

I’m not a shrub identifier but I am fairly sure it is not bush honeysuckle. Rounded leaves and smooth veins which is not what I see.

Where is that map from? SW Iowa is DRY!! Hay crop is VERY bad.

The last paragraph SCARES ME! Hunter numbers are decreasing exponentially compared to population growth. I have commented on this in other threads that we are narrow minded to solely support targeting big deer as the main stream hunting ideal because people with that mindset do not hunt public...

Another concern I have with the finite changes suggested is that nature has been altered. I am fortunate to hunt some better than average ground in MO where deer can reach over the hill maturity. The last two deer I have shot in MO were documented 7+ yo and the biggest scored high 160s. The...

I respectfully disagree with statements above and I personally am in favor of what you are suggesting. The draw to MO is the ability to hunt decent to good deer during the rut with a rifle. I would not say that the majority of the young hunters I know in MO would give up their rifle rut...

I’m not digging on loggers but I work SEVERAL loan clients and I always suggest getting a DNR forester value and getting bids from multiple loggers because WAY TOO MANY stories like new farmer mentioned above with HUGE differences in bids.

I am on board with your ideals but what you need to think about is perspective…. To you and I more mature bucks is the goal but to the majority of deer hunters in MO to include both R and NR is the system is not broken. I looked into the numbers and there are not a lot of NRs taking more than...

That is the angle I figured it was after. I guess if you 1031 exchange the sale proceeds you could continue to roll forward until you cash out or pass on.

Surely treated like NRHARRIS stated above and would have to reduce the tax basis of “the land” if the property is ever sold?

I’ve never dealt with this directly but have some other similar “things”….. Not tax advice but for this to be an option I am pretty sure you would be reducing the tax basis of the land so if you pay $100K for the farm and establish timber value of $20K that is sold for loss then the tax basis...

I’ll play. I stand behind Trump no longer being electable. Main stream media has done enough to make him so by getting those voters that can’t see through the garbage to think logically on their own to vote against Trump. Those being the same people waiting for their handout but yet not being...

Votes matter in an election and the dems have that figured out. The vast majority of people do not vote based on an educated decision and honestly who can blame them because there is no REAL NEWS outlet and no unbiased reporting. EVERY daily news report from a baseball game to beer advertising...

I hear what you are saying but if you want to hear lunacy….. Look at some of the western states….. I play the point game in several states and have been luckier than I should have been already but….. one state in particular I gave up on this year finally for example for a once in a lifetime...
