Nice buck, I got a similar one this year. Id say 138"

I have hunted both on east coast and in Iowa. I see very few wounded deer like that here in IA. Cant believe that shot gunning running deer does not wound many. I firmly believe that the coyotes in IA make quick work of the wounded deer. When I huned the east coast the coyote pop was very low...

Makes me wonder how many guys are out there like that. Dude has enough time to do a weather/hunting blog but does no when the season start and stop!

I saw a 160 10 pt 5 yr old that I know well pushing 2 young does today

Saw a couple yotes relentlessly pestering a doe and her small fawn tuesday am...

I am sitting in my home office have watched 3 bucks pass thru field by my house!!! I stayed in to get some paper work done.. SHOULD BE IN A STAND... Thanks for the great forecast!!!! 100 % chance of rain my arse.

I wear inner and outer layer scentloc both being coverall style. I think it traps smells better. I also chew doublemint for hours, long after the sugars are gone. Together with rubber boots I have noticed a HUGE difference than back in the 80s and 90s.. This yr I have had mature deer downwind...

Mon 9 am rattled in a awesome 3 yr 140 8 pt. He crossed a deep creek 3 X trying to find the fight! lLater at 10:15 am I saw 2 shooters at 160 yards sparring and rubbing they did nothing when I rattled. Sat eve grunted in a 135 9 pt.

Looks like a leg injury to me.. He will be like that every yr if thats the case.

Called in a nice 9pt easy 3yr old from the timber, he made some scrapes right under my stand.. Only deer I saw.

Last yr I tried a new spot with no stand so took my climber, at 7:30 am had seen 3 good bucks chasing a doe, but I had to GO!!!!!!!!! climbed down went into a ditch to get relief. Was climbing back up and with bow still on the ground had a GIANT come in walk right up to my bow and smell it...

7 does by 8:30 passed on all.. 2 nice buck at 9am one was hit list 160 6x5, he made 90 degree turn and got by me, the 10 was 140 and I passed him trying for the big one. Went back 2 pm to same spot and ZERO, weird....

stay low away from where thier feeding, In the eve bark like a dog and scare them away before climbing down

I have been on the east coast for week (my dad passed) and it is drenched over here.. I mow alot of lawns around Ottumwa and it is still not greening! Those radars are not always accurate looks like not much more that .5 around and south of Ottumwa..

Yes I know, The weather here bounces from one extreme to the other.. I had dreams of being a meteorologist, but pursued other things. I lost 70 pine trees plated last yr because of too much water, now I am trying to keep the ones alive I planted this yr.. I actualy had way better gardens back...

looks like some showers tonight. We have had showers over these past 2 months, does nothing. I dont think its the pattern, why else would there be rain everywhere else around us.. Does kinda start here and head east thru IL and IN. This SE Iowa drought is not associated at all to the tx, Ok one...

1.5" in last 55 days at my house. After all the recent above normal rainfall months and yrs its tough to see. North, west and south is all greener than here, getting tough landscaping & mowing guys.

Sportsman guide has a great combo deal about 65$ Stand is tight and secure and the sticks are awesome. A little camo paint and and still use a summit climber if I need it.

I have tried smoke and all kinds of cover scents... In my opinion they all suck. I have bow hunted since 1982 and I dont even burn my woodstove until the rut is over. What happens is ANY ODOR alerts deer, they start looking around if your looking to pass many deer waiting on a big buck it just...

I moved here in 2008, I bought an existing small service type of business and love it! Desmoines has lots of good jobs with great hunting close by. Pella and Oskaloosa have some good companies to work for. Meat plants are always hiring. Compared to some other parts of the country cost of living...
