Sounds like a great idea...let's get more predators to kill our turkeys & deer. And they would be able to have some interaction with livestock & humans too. All 3 of those critters have no place here. Who comes up with this crap?

We are not Minnesota. Tax, tax, tax. They didn't get enough from all the new hunting/fishing licenses? An increase of 24%, $3.6 million.

I hear ya. Rural Woodbury is where I live. I've been warning about the declining herd and loss of rural habitat in this county for years. Everybody thought I was nuts. The way I see it...if you harvest a doe, you've likely killed 3 deer out of your herd. I haven't deer gun hunted here in the...

The 1st buck I harvested in eastern Iowa, 2012, looked just like that when I opened him up. All of his hooves were split/cracked too.

Unless you have the $ already....find out if the bank will give you the loan before even thinking about it. I live on the western side of the state, was offered great land/timber on the eastern side. Bankers over here don't understand land over there & don't want to give loans, even if you have...

From 5 years ago?

That's what I thought too. I had a 7# bass done by another taxidermist in 2008 it measures within 1/4" and was also a skin mount. I can tell by the tail that this is my crappie. But the distance between the dorsal fin and the top of the mouth doesn't look right. I guess my next mount will be a...

I agree about releasing fish. I was looking at it on the drive home and the more I saw it the shorter it got. I put a tape on it and was thinking wtf. I also had the guy do a reproduction of a 11 1/2" bluegill that I released years ago. Paid more for the reproduction but it was well worth it...

I got my crappie back...I think. It looks like the same fish but somehow it's 1 1/2" shorter. Why?

Trail cams have ruined me & yet saved many "shootable" meat deer over the years. "That" buck to me is 150"+. I always manage to get a really nice buck on 2 cameras, all summer long into early October. Almost all of my pics are between 10pm & 4am. I will sit for 100+ hours a year hoping to see...

Correct. I didn't fully explain that this was a watershed project. All 3 ponds did have flowing water. All ponds around my area are watershed projects, water in, water out.

Large rodents. I trapped for a guy, way back in high school. Guy had 3 ponds built, filled & stocked. Good sized ponds with old growth trees along the waters edge. He was in the truck with some DNR people, looked at me and I quote "leave the beavers alone, you trap a beaver & I find...

Sold.

Nice, congrats!

Congrats!

Lower #s compared to the late 90s...YES. I remember counting flocks of 80 to 100+ every time I drove by the hills that I hunt. Now these same flocks are less than 10 birds, I get all excited when I hear 5 different gobblers in the morning.

Congrats Alex!

Congrats Abby!

Great bird! Congrats Drew!

Bit by bit. Look these up. They will affect everyone. H.R.8 and H.R.1446 are two bills being rammed through the House. HR8 would ban private sales of firearms (with few exceptions). HR 1446 would indefinitely delay firearms transfers that are delayed by NICS more than 3 days.
