Saw a few yesterday with a whole mob of does.

Holy cow some monsters guys. WOW. I need to get a trail cam. A 130 incher would get me pumped up, let alone a bigger deer. Did any of you guys that got pics of these big boys kill any of them? Or were they ghosts once season opened?

Shot one at Scheels a few days ago. That thing is a machine. Smooth draw cycle, no vibration at the shot, fast hard hitting bow. May have to start saving for one.

When do you move? I grew up in Urbandale, so I am a little partial to that area. Urbandale, Grimes, and Johnston are all nice suburbs IMO. I live in West Des Moines now and I like it also. Like the other guys have said, get 30+ miles from Des Moines and start knocking doors around any land...

I've never seen this deer. Was he killed in MN this past fall? Bow or gun kill? It's unreal how wide he is.

Haha best thread ever! I hope you get a Booner or 2 during one of these nights that they'll be out on the prowl. Good luck getting the papa mouse!

As an avid waterfowler, it seems like a swan being shot in Iowa pops on the forums at least once or twice a year. It's amazing how ignorant some hunters are. Sometimes when these reports come up, the shooters claim they thought the swan was a snow goose. Give me a break. A snow will weigh...

I typically hunt 2nd season with a good sized group of close buddies. We lost our biggest/best piece of ground because it got annexed. So we are just going to hunt 1st this year, as we only have a few smaller spots to hunt. 1 of the spots should produce plenty of does and more than likely, a...

Mine should be filled as of Monday. Went out with a buddy to his land and hunted off the ground. Got sat down on a nice tall mound on the edge of a field with timber around us in the morning. Not 20 minutes after we sat down and did a few grunting sequences, I look to my left and see a...

Did he kill it?

Here;s my buddy's 10 pointer from last fall strapped to his Saturn.:way:

What's everyone been seeing in the last few days? I haven't been out since last Thursday. Been working too much and chasing honkers/greenheads around on the weekends. I'll be going in the morning. Just curious if much has changed in the last 5 or 6 days. A few guys I talk to that I know...

+1. It still could today too.:way:

I was going to possibly do an all day hunt Friday, but I forgot about that little word......class. Ugghhh. At least it isn't a terrible class. Psychology, somewhat interesting IMO. Probably hunt in the morning for a while (hopefully have to go back after class and drag a dead deer out). My...

Thanks MadisonB&C. I'm still debating whether or not I want to move one of my 2 stands or just go buy another one. I'd really like to just move one of my 2, but I feel like both of them are in good spots. Either of them would be damn easy to move though, as they are ladder stands. I'd just...

Thanks for the responses. Anyone else? I may try to either move one of my ladder stands down fairly close to there (maybe between the cornfield and the tree rubs). Or I may go buy a new one. Just had a birthday so I have some extra money for once. I'd really like to get a climber and try it...

Guys, I walked around the property I hunt a little bit after I hunted this morning. I found a trail (heavily traveled by the looks of it) coming from a cornfield (can't hunt) through some timber, then through a small switchgrass field, then into some thicker timber. In my mind, the thicker...

Was out for the first time this year this morning. Just getting into this game (shot my first deer with a bow last fall). Several little things have come up in the past week and a half that have stopped me from going up until this morning. I was in a stand on a small north facing ridge, with...
