Iowa state but played ball at Simpson for a year ;)

Shoot me a PM with your information. Have both of my bird's wings from this year saved.

500+ an acre??? Never heard of such. 180, look at what your CSR2 rating is then look at county wide averages. Depending on size of parcel and what row crop rotations its been in over past couple years will also play into affect.

Congrats on a heck of a bird..........but FTD :p:p

Sorry, guess I misinterpreted Daver's original response :confused: And like I said, I'm not disagreeing bird numbers are down, just simply saying I'd give my trigger finger to know that within a short drive (my good buddy lives in Burlington and there farms are all "LOADED" with birds) I can...

I'm not saying numbers aren't down. Just saying your bird numbers are down 20-25% that puts your farms from 10 toms down to 7-8. See my point, come up to boone/Hamilton county and I'll show you poor bird numbers.

Some of you boys wouldn't last a day in north central Iowa. On our way down to Decatur county as we speak to get a buddy his first bird with a bow. The amount of birds down in these parts compared to any "good" farm north of 80 isn't even comparable.

This is what it's about.... I completely thought after reading "Since I have kids and have little time to hunt scout" that you were going to be one of those guys :D:D But really, it gets old hearing people use handicaps (not enough time for this, can't scout properly, can't afford this...

DNA test? Never heard of such! Pretty obvious to see that that was the same deer without a question or doubt.

I think you just like taking selfies :D:D

Killin a big ol tom in tennies, love it! Congrats to you and your boy!

That's nut. And I know how all that works, remember I'm hunting your old stomping areas of good old Boone County?!?! I had same situation happen too me couples years back on a giant that lived in Ledges. Had 3 years of pictures, neighbor had sheds, I missed him the year before he was killed...

What a bunch of crap! Who does something like that then takes a deer of that caliber to the classic knowing that there is no way that deer is a secret? Wow!

Heck of a job to you and your boy, congrats!

Replace it ASAP :D

x10 on the Wildgames, junk cameras and even worse customer service. Bushnell trophy cam's have been my go to reliable camera. Have one going on 4 years and still takes great pictures, has great battery life and I can trust leaving it out in the field for months on end. I'd stick with a camera...

Made this decoy for a whopping 30 bucks. Cost me 25 for the junk pretty boy that I used for the front. Re-painted the head, made a fan mount in the back, used an old carbon arrow so I could stick it in the ground with ease, used some athletic tape for grips Both these birds died the last...

Couple weeks ago when we had that warm up, they were out strutting and gobbling like crazy. Past week slowed down considerably at least in central Iowa. I had couple buddies south of 80 in God's country say Tom's have started splitting off from winter flocks, couple days ago south of Woodward I...

Old saying goes "you get what you pay for" obviously applies here.... I've got a Dakota Jake and Avian X LCD feeder hen, I think it took a whole 50 minutes to kill my two birds last year. Hard to beat any of those other dekes previously mentioned, however your not going to get em given to ya...

Should be a good trip regardless. Sounds like the walleyes though sub legal are being caught with good luck. A lot of 13-14.5 inch fish, jig head minnow or slip bobber and minnow 16-24 FOW. If you have the navionics app on your phone or GPS you shouldn't have problems locating crappies over...
