NR's only make up 2% of all deer hunters in Iowa. Therefore NR bowhunters only make up 0.7% of the total deer hunters. I think it would be safe safe to the NR bowhunter harvest isn't even statistcally significant in the final harvest numbers. Tim

Does anyone know how many resident landowner tags the DNR issues every year? I'm a NR but my resident neighbor, and his wife each get a deer and turkey tag. Total cost for the 4 tags is $4.00! Don't you guys have a problem with this? Sure seems like the DNR could raise the price of these...

Couldn't disagree more but at least you're honest. [ QUOTE ] I think all Iowans should have the inalienable right to find a quality trophy bowhunt with a little effort. [/ QUOTE ] I think the liitle effort part is where a lot of guys are having the problem. Tim

But bow season is 8 weeks long compared to a one week gun season. Not all the "extra" bowhunters will be in Iowa at the same time. Most will hunt in November but not all. The last time I crunched the numbers the bowhunters were receiving the max 35%. I can't believe any one would vote to...

I'm thinking of buying the H1 jacket from Arctic Shield. I can't find a dealer close to me so I can't try a jacket on for myself. I would like to hear opinions on how quiet the Arctic Shield line of clothing is. The boot insulators aren't real quiet in my opinion. I will be using the jacket...

I'm a member and like the others, I think the magazine is great. Tim

I didn't shoot one Saturday night but I watch 17 deer come out into our corn plot. They ate corn for about a half hour. Then they all left and headed to an alfalfa field about 400 yards away and across a dead end road. Tim

Is it the angle of the picture or does that deer only have three legs? It would also explain the right antler being messed up. Tim

We have about 230 acres and our friend beside us has another 230. We only bought the property last year so were just getting started. Last year we had 8 acres of food plots and this year we added another 8. Being NR's we have two big problems: killing enough does and keeping the local...

Each buck will stop at a different time so there is no exact date for all bucks. I would say this buck has some more growing to do. His brow tines are probably done but his beams, G2's, and G3' have some growing to do. Notice the beams, G2's, and G3's are still smooth, round and darker at the...

What does your friend have planted in his food plot? What time of the year were these pictures taken. Tim

Same thing is going on here in Southern Michigan. A lot of dead bucks lying beside the road the last few weeks. I think one reason is that the dominate does with fawns will kick the bucks out of an area. Especially the young bucks and that's mostly what we have in my area. These young bucks...

Nonres and I drew archery for Zone 5 (southcentral). We had 1 preference point. We'll hunt Nebraska for 6-7 days and then Iowa for 7-8 in early November. Tim

Good news. Hopefully the DNR can get a few more CO's in the field. Tim

TTT I know this is a very old post. Is this buck really from Arkansas or a game ranch? Does anyone have more information on the buck? Tim

WI Shedhead, the samething is happening in zone 5. The 35% max is getting reached then the remaining 65% of the tags go to the gun hunters. I figured it out the other day and it's about 50/50 gun vs bow applications. I think they should just set a bow quota and a gun quota and do away with...

That's basically what were going to do this year. When the neighbor planted our corn fields we had him leave 2 rods around each field unplanted. We will plant these areas with a winter wheat and oates mix the first of Septemebr. We'll wait until September so the oates don't grow too much and...

Baldingeagle, with any broadhead it's important to remove any wobble, usually done by spinning and adjusting the head. But aligning the blades with the fletching isn't necessary. Unless you're shooting a 4 fletched arrow how does the guy line-up 4 blades with 3 fletchings anyway? Tim

Check out the Cabela's brand 400 insulated. A lot cheaper and pretty much the same boot. Tim

Another Steel Force user. Very sharp out of the box and they fly great. I shoot the 125 premiums. Tim
