    Wow Just Wow....... Land Prices

    I have the exact opposite train of thought. Anything that possibly gives non-resident landowners more rights/opportunities with their land will only increase appeal of that land and make prices rise. Also, if trump gets interest rates lowered, prices are rising as well. Short term, Iowa saw a...

    Deer #’s down statewide???

    Those tag decisions were made before this study was conducted. Agree though, they do make some adjustments as they go

    Deer #’s down statewide???

    That is a massive problem to make three years worth of decisions off data already known to be very unreliable

    Harvest Numbers

    I was factoring in the wind chill. So add the 13th, 16th, 19th, and 20th. 6 of 8 days subzero with food fully blanketed and in many areas iced over due to the weather that started on the 12th. I remember it a little better since I drove over 25 hours throughout the event, blowing a leak into the...

    Harvest Numbers

    Did you miss the 16" of snow in January that was followed by 5-6 days straight of negative high temps? Food is covered deep and body heat loss was rapid. That was rough on the herd and widespread

    Little brother to yours. If I rotate it, there is a little icicle effect that might develop into a drop time in future years

    This is a HANDY map and appears to include the 6 supervisors contact too (1 per district) https://www.iowadnr.gov/Portals/idnr/uploads/Law%20Enforcement/dnrlemap.pdf

    Iowa Trespassing laws

    100% you have a good one. Unfortunately, some counties only have one, other counties share, and some counties are currently unfilled and unadvertised. There really isn't a "superior" to call in those instances. Grundy/Marshall counties are both vacant.

    Iowa Trespassing laws

    Conversely, the tower blind is also on the opposing neighbors fence line and then sounds like it may be ?leased? to out of staters who took enough offense to it that they sent the property owner a picture. No hypocrisy at all, right?

    Iowa Trespassing laws

    Comes down to the ambition of the conservation officer. Some don't want to stir the pot or come after friends/neighbors. As I noted earlier, you have to press some of them to get action. In your case, a desired outcome was quick and painless (for you)

    EHD?

    To me, it doesn't fit the description in the bottom right corner in this graphic

    Iowa Trespassing laws

    I'd keep pressing. File incident reports of trespassing and then get them to put it in writing that they are too busy to help.

    Deer #’s down statewide???

    You have to read the whole report where they discuss the methodology, but system they have used for estimating the deer population is widely accepted nationwide and thoroughly vetted with cross-referenced data. By and large, their annual estimates aligned pretty well with tag allotments UNTIL...

    Deer #’s down statewide???

    Our group is still coming in. The social aspect of deer camp far outweighs what one is allowed to shoot. I didn't think either guy even hesitated

    Deer #’s down statewide???

    The message was spot on for sure but labeling the one weekend a year shotgun hunters as casual vs others as serious would rile a lot of folks.
