If abundant rain + excessive heat = big deer racks, then NW Iowa undoubtedly has the next world record running around up here :D:D

If I get a chance, I'll use a depredation tag on this gal early on. I've always heard that a deer missing a front leg is in danger of starving to death in a tough winter because they can't dig through snow to find food, but who knows? Not sure what the cause is, but guessing an injury from...

Yep, these are all lake sturgeon in this area. At certain times of the year, they are the primary target up in the Rainy River. Our guide was great about helping us to understand a bit of the history of this fish, as well as times and techniques to target them.. NWBuck

See if I can help breathe a little life into the fishing forum. My wife, son, nephew and I recently returned from a trip to Lake of the Woods. We did a 3 day charter trip out of Ballards, and it was great. Second time we've done this trip in recent years, and once again, it did not...

Fixed head, no problems. Expandables, don't do it. NWBuck

27,000 gallons for an inch of rain on an acre is pretty close. I'm thinking in order to pump out of a public stream or body of water you have to have some sort of "permission" from the DNR?? But yeah, if you can pump 100 gall/min, it'd only take a few hours to get your inch of water. Let us...

That's a giant...bet it was a fun fight!

Yep, this creek definitely has a flood history, but we've had a food plot in this location for 5 years and this is the first time it's been out during that time. My Dad used to farm a small field (approx. 20 acres) a short distance from this location, and every so often it'd get flooded out as...

No worry...Kratz has you covered.

Your work looks awesome. I broadcasted bean plots a couple of times in years past, and they never seemed to reach the height of traditionally planted beans, but yours look great. Now we put 'em all through a 6 row JD 7000 with much more consistent results. Got several Browning cams out...

What happened to the window decals that were going to be sent out to those who requested them?? More than willing to pay a couple of bucks if need be, but the back window on the topper has been waiting anxiously for a few months now... NWBuck

Northwest Iowa.

You and me both Daver. Those straps had to have had some pressure on them for sure. It was also just outside the strongest portion of the rolling current, and I'm sure that made a difference too. I had a camera sitting near the blind as well, and pics on it indicate that the water surrounded...

UPDATE - 6/25/18...Mother Nature Wins Not much need for words...here's what the promising young clover plot looks like today. The sand is deep in places... Perhaps the worst impact, however, is bank erosion. Took a fair amount of the plot and washed it downstream... Amazingly though, the...

Congrats to them! Maybe if they're nice they'll let you tag along as camp chef :D NWBuck

Haha...good one!! :D:D Definitely another first for me. Weird stuff...

Pulled all my cameras in late January, but while spraying some plots a couple of weeks ago, I threw 2 cameras in the ranger and decided to put them up just for the heck of it. Most of the pics showing nothing special, but then ran across these...date and time is correct, FWIW... Another...

Great looking bird...congrats! NWBuck

Agreed Daver...this is an "up quick down quick" stream, and I suspect it'll back in its banks in a couple of days max. The problem will more likely be what is left behind. Lived and hunted around this area all my life, and what is usually left behind is sand. Lots of sand. We shall see I...

UPDATE 6/21/18... I guess we'll find out what flood waters do to a young clover plot...it's under there somewhere :( On the bright side, the ground anchors for the blind appear to be doing their job...at least for now.
