Thanks guy. I am going under this afternoon to have some sinus surgery. I wished I would not have opened this topic. Ha! Ha! Wish me well!!

Way to go Youngbuck. You should be real proud of yourself. There are so many young people today that choose to ge involved with the wrong things such as drugs and alcohol and make bad decisions when it comes to peer pressure. You have found a sport that will sustain you for a lifetime. Young...

Made my afternoon! Ha!Ha!

969 + 23 = 992 Dang, missed a 1000 by 8.

I to agree we leave it alone. I think most of us bowhunters would prefer to have the first two weeks of November to hunt. Our other brethrin have the first two weeks of December to hunt and they have been satisfied with it for a long time. Safety is definetely a issue. The reason the way it...

Welcome!

One should always remember how important everyday is and how fortunate we all are. Lord keep us safe and God bless the families of those who lost their loved ones. Watch over them in the coming days.

Cornfed, I understand your point and the logic behind it. Most of the officers we have hired since I came on, a large percentage of them have their bachelor's degree. Education in todays society dosen't always mean your are going to get paid for it. Society seems to get things messed up when...

Cornfed, How much should a State Trooper make. I have a masters degree. Some would say maybe I should be doing something else. Its not always about money. How much should someone with a doctorate make. Is he necessarily more qualified to make more money than me because he spent a few more...

I agree with you totally especially when the State is planning to furlough every State Trooper for 7 days starting in March. We need 1.7 million more in our budget to function or we will have to lay off for 7 days every Trp and other key functioning employees of the State. What is more...

I will wait and see what the response is to this one before I comment. Obviously I am a state employee and have some feelings about this issue and the amount of money some in State goverment make!

I totally understand what Rush is saying. I grew up in a military house hold. My father was enlisted. He fought in both the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. We moved all the time. We did not have much because my dad was the only one who worked back then. Mom raised us full time. As enlisted...

Thanks everyone. As I said in one of my earlier posts there was a side of me that just about let him walk. I have been a very die hard bow hunter over the years and have just not made black powder a priority. This is my first with the thunder stick! Most of the deer I had been patterning...

I also like to take the mature buck. I helped a couple of friends harvest two pretty good bucks this year. I hunted hard from Oct 1 to Jan 5th but did not harvest a deer during the bow or first season gun. I could have shot at least a couple dozen different bucks. My standards are pretty high...

Doemaster I understand your point. Maybe my apathy and cliches are in part due to reading and discussing this matter the past two years. Seems like th same old song and dance. Maybe it a clever way to get person's like yourself to help initiate change instead of just complaining about it. The...

Congrats on a nice deer. Best of luck for next year.

Congrats. Job well done

Daver, I must say I do agree with you on your key point of exspanding quality hunting in other states so that it eliviates the desire to travel here to harvest a quality animal. I for one would not travel anywhere else to hunt if I had it as good as I have it here. I don't need to travel to...

Daver, I personally also do not like the idea that those who have contributed to a healthy Iowa deer herd be shut out of places to hunt because of outside money. My basic point is that there is nothing anyone can change about that. You either have it or you try to get it! This is a free...

I just spent the last fifteen minutes writing a reply to this res vs nonres hunting license issue and then I decided not to post it. The issue has been brought up alot over the past several years. I guess I am tired of hunter vs hunter. I say let them hunt there own ground! If they don't...
