I know when your planting food plots in ground that is enrolled in the CRP program there are rules to follow. Can someone fill me in on some of these "regulations". I know very little other then you can't plant more then 10% of the CRP acres in plots and they have to be grains like beans...

Every block of timber in iowa has a bow hunter sitting in it during November and that wasnt the case 15 years ago. Increased human pressure over the last decade is what I think is causing a downturn in daytime rut activity. Warm crappy weather doesn't help but mature deer know when the...

Dbltree, I'm faced with the question of whether or not I want to mess with planting soybeans and the hassle of fencing them off in 2012. Part of me says yes plant them simply for the variety and the other part of me says save the time and money for something else. That being said, I see your...

So what speed can you travel while tilling? I assume you need to go very slow..

Im seriously thinking of purchasing a 3pt- 5' tiller to prepare my food plots but I'm unsure whether I'll like using one because of the slower operating speed and high cost. I'm currently using a disc and cultipacker to prepare my seed beds. I will be doing approx. 2-3 acres of plots each...

Those blow up decoys are so pathetic looking I laugh just thinking about it.

1. Never hunt a stand if the wind isn't to your advantage 2. Stay out of your best stands until the late pre- rut. Avoid the temptation to hunt your best stands too early 3. Hunt all day long during the rut

I am wanting to plant 2-3 apple trees and some of those dwarf chinkapin oaks. Would like to use a dwarf variety of apple tree because space is limited. Really need help finding a place that sells good trees over the internet, specially for the Chinkapins. Any help is appreciated.

Where abouts you huning in Monroe Co? I hunt near Albia. Leaving tomororow for 10 days of hunting! What kind of action have you been seeing, morning, day and evening? Thanks

Woa!!!!!! Tank is a big old stud.

Good looking buck, I'd say in the mid 30's

Do it all the time, except for a when a buck is in view then I shut up and see what happens. No reason why you shouldn't rattle from a blind.

Ditto to that........7 cams out and 100% nightime activity by mature bucks

There are a total of 30 acres of tillable ground on my lease of which 3 acres are designated mine for foodplots. The last few years the farmer has been rotating between beans and corn but this spring he is converting it to alfalfa. My food plots are currently Alice clover and it doesn't make...

I think I will just spray the feed with select in early may to kill any grasses and then nuke again in August to kill the clover, the broadcast and cultipack in Sept. STEVE

The guy I lease my hunting land from called me the other day and asked me not to put in any more food plots if I was going to disc up the ground. He said that if I wanted to do food plots from now on that I would have to plant them no-till. He claims that his ground is in some kind of no till...

Just shot this buck yesterday. Been chasing him all season. STEVE

Re: Cereal Grains - October 17th Oats/Rye Frosts My oat plot isn't getting grazed much at all, and dispite all the talk that deer love oats I'm not a big believer. I think my rye plot is getting much more attention and I like the fact that I'm going to get more longevity out of it which means...

Good work! I'll point out one thing that is not a real big deal but it's all in the details. The ears stick out too far from the skull and they need to be tight under the main beams. You either used too much clay and they stuck out from the manikin or they are rotated too far back. Nice work...

Congrats on a beautiful buck man!!!! STEVE
