Our turkeys numbers have crashed badly. In addition to an explosion in coon numbers, our area has had a similar explosion in bobcats. I see them regularly on my trail cams and I have several photos showing moms with babies. Coyote numbers also seem to be at an all time high. I’m actually...

Looks like his velvet is white, neat!

As a father who has a youth who is youth hunting, I really like the fact that she and I can hunt more than one season provided we use the appropriate weapon for said season. Kids can be pretty busy these days with activities and it’s surprising how quickly a season can pass with few...

This was from two weeks ago. Almost all of the bucks in my area have shed.

Most of the older bucks in my area do not bed on our farm. The two that I can positively identify do not appear to have increased much in antler size. I’ll be curious to see the results later when I can get more bucks on camera and review.

Me too! This band is coming right up through my area

No harm seeing where his rack goes next year. A possibility I hadn’t considered when replying is that he just doesn’t have the genetics for much mass. My nighttime photos tend to make bucks look older and more mature than daytime photos for whatever reason.

My app says common hackberry from the photos.

I’m guessing he is not 4.5 to 7.5. His rack looks similar to what I would expect on a 3.5 but his body looks mature to me. Last year I ran cameras for the first time and I was very surprised how many photos it took of each deer to be confident of age with no previous history. Fun exercise.

150” give or take 5”, hard to get a good read on G1s, beam length and spread. Shoot him and let us know

I enjoyed listening, great job representing

I’m runnng 10 SPYPOINT micro links on 177 acres. Last year I had multiple photos of most of the mature bucks crossing our farm. I could easily deploy more cameras and plan to pick up a few more if they have a good sale soon. Last year was the first year I started using trail cameras. They are...

If not for the frost seeding I did this year I would have nothing. The clover is decent but spotty, growing best where shaded. If we could get some fall rains it could all bounce. I’m very new to farming/food plots. There are 5 ponds on our property. I bought a semi trash pump and hoses this...

No question, November 9! NW wind, steady 8-10 mph, as cold as possible.

I don’t live in one of the best Iowa counties but I’m guessing it’s well over 3. I would expect most of them to be non-typical. NTs are very uncommon in my area. I’ve only seen two 200”+ deer, one of each. I’d be disappointed if I didn’t see a 170” typical buck every year. A 180” wouldn’t...
