I know this info is vague but Ive driven through Shimek on my way to zone 5 during the various seasons and noticed a few vehicles, but not the volume you’d expect. Same with the Sedan Bottoms in zone 5. Most cars there in shotgun 1 but not many in archery and gun 2. If you want a good archery...

It’s 2 acres. That’s a commitment.

Thanks Bronc. News to me. Learn something everyday. What’s the 2 acre designation mean. I know there is one

What state. South Carolina, Alabama etc. 40 acres?? Is that right. Always heard it was 2. Been in Iowa as a nrlo and never heard 40 acres.

Is there another state that allows a resident, with 2 acres or more, to harvest 3 bucks if they choose in one season? In most states it’s one buck, period. Curious. Gotta say don’t get the 2 acre thing. What is the reasoning behind 2 acres if anyone knows. Seems like too little to matter.

I’m a Steelers fan but like the Vikes. Nice work. “You like that!”

No. Just like the Residents in my area family only. As I stated earlier if you read the thread I permit my resident neighbor and his son in law to hunt every year. That good enough? Can I hunt your place?

I never said change anything. I’m saying there are bigger threats to your trophy hunting than the NR landowner. If you don’t know most NR landowners do hunt every year by drawing a shotgun anysex tag or with a doe tag/party hunt deal. We often draw with no points. Prices have risen in...

Couldn’t agree more. Let’s also address the multiple deer killing Amish and the evening “coyote hunting” to make sure they’re doing it right?!

I would agree on the trespassing. My primary trespassing occurs during shed and mushroom hunting season, no banging and booming to draw attention. During deer season it’s the Amish. I’ve had more issues with them than anyone. Addressed the same guy 3 times. Didn’t care until the law became...

Resident ownership and restriction is ok?? NR regs can change tomorrow for the better and NRs could buy my all resident owned block and access would remain exactly the same. As Ive mentioned my resident neighbors allow no hunting. You need to own it to hunt it.

Daver, that’s awesome. That’s what the sport should be about. I too permit my resident neighbor, and his son in law, to hunt my place with access to any stand they choose. There’s more than enough deer and if one of them take “ my target buck” good for them. Building relationships are far...

RJack. Good point. Take my neighborhood at present. Most of the land is resident owned. They permit no hunting besides family. That’s not changing whether it’s R or NR owned. A resident would not obtain permission from the resident landowners in my block, but many are quick to blame NR...

My point was that NRs are depicted as swooping in with unlimited cash, buying up the rec ground to the chagrin of not as fortunate residents, when in fact my Iowa neighbors do really well . Read the entire thread.

Bonker, what are talking about. You mentioned affordability not me. Simply stated why prices are high caused by resident variables. That’s all.

Affordability? Well, talk to your resident video stars who drove demand and affordability upward. As I stated a moment ago my Iowa neighbors have far more cash than I.

I’m in zone 5 and do not have a NR landowner near me. Simply speaking from my experience. One other thing, when it comes to access how many of you resident land owners allow hunting, say from Oct 31 to Nov 15? Lol. Truth be told I doubt many. As I stated my resident neighbors do not outside...

Idk Bonker in my neighborhood my resident ag farmer neighbors buy everything at market value whether it’s ag or rec ground. If you back up I’m surrounded by RESIDENT landowners in every direction owning big chunks. I don’t know one NR landowner, besides me, for miles and I’ve been in Iowa for...

One other comment. I was wondering what neighborhood you’re in Skip? You mentioned being surrounded by NR landowners from various states. In my neighborhood I’m the only NR landowner in all directions for a long distance over the past 17 years. I seriously do not know another NR landowner...

Jbohn, you just said it. Hunters control the trigger ON THEIR OWN FARM. Most don’t own. They shoot whatever they see when they don’t own. That’s not wrong. Every DNR agency’s goal is to reduce the population. There in lies every DNR dilemma. Let’s appear to care about trophy status while...
