I will say I'm at my peak. $660 to shoot an oversized goat. Yes, the "chance" of a lifetime may present itself in Iowa, but the reality is most do not see, or harvest, anything larger than a 160 class animal; which is a very nice deer. My time in Iowa has been awesome but most years are...

You're correct the little guy is priced out. Someone here said they could charge 1,000 per tag and get it, which is true based on only 6000 tags being offered, but those 6000 guys are going to be fairly well off. Not sure how I feel about that given hunting used to be inclusive. Heck, keep...

I love this topic. The NR is an easy target for sure. The DNR is worried about me shooting one deer every four years but completely ignore my amish neighbors who shot 13 deer last year from their makeshift blind attached to their "phone booth" 10 feet off the road with no license! Whatever...

From the lawyer: A county road, the property the road is on, goes to the landowner when legally closed. To re-open the landowner must agree to sell the property back to the county. The only other way is eminent domain which won't happen in this case because the piece in question does not, or...

Buyer wants to build on it. Through my field is the most convenient however there is access the seller could provide from other directions

Hardwood, the seller has hundreds of acres with frontage but he wants to sell an 80 behind me that’s low untillable ground , it floods, but good hunting.

Have a willing buyer and seller. Buyer doesn’t want to buy unless he has access. The seller is trying to create access pre-sale. They are creating a land lock. Goat man how did yours turn out?

New twist. Now the party in question has forwarded a new request to re-open a road closed by the county many years ago. I’ve been there 17 years and didn’t know a road was there. My neighbor hunted there as a kid and moved from Illinois in 1991 and the road was closed then. I do have a lawyer...

Update on this one is the people trying to go through my tillable claimed there was an informal agreement years past. Not true of course. In fact they erected a fence several years ago , with no gate, between my piece and the land they want to access. Historical satellite imagery shows a road...

I retained a lawyer. Again gotta spend money due to someone else’s greed and ridiculous request.

Thank you everyone for your input. What cracks me up is the seller has about 1100 acres most of which is good ag ground or good timber with a lot of frontage. Instead of carving out a piece of that ground he wants to sell the least valuable low ground near a creek, make a couple hundred...

Yes. I own the frontage.

I'm the landowner in front of the proposed land locked piece. At present there is no land lock, you're correct in that they are creating it. Can't see how I can be forced to provide access through my field. I hope not anyways.

For any legal minds here consider this situation. A landowner has approximately 1100 acres spanning from one road to another, which is one mile, from north to south. Said landowner wants to sell an 80 acre piece that is non-tillable low ground, however, the way the piece is positioned the new...
