Me being me too ;). All good my man!!!! Love it!!!! I clearly think a lot of guys share that view. As of today, a majority that will dwindle over time. The data is slowly shifting as the younger generation takes over. So- for the benefits of a few days of blasting with rifles …. We have all...

Great points!!!! MO has some HUGE issues bubbling into a disaster & I’ve talked with IA DNR & MDC folks about this. Came up when MO is hiring sharp shooters for does in N MO & also- cannot control their doe #’s. U look across the line into IA - we are shooting enough does- “too many” most...

Agree 10000%!!!!!! MN, MI, PA & a few others do NOT have a NR problem with DEER. If anything… they are wishing MORE NR’s came there. & it’s not just that the NR’s don’t come there… it’s WORSE than that… the RESIDENTS are leaving!!! Or quitting. Come November in MI - the migration of...

All excellent points on hot topic with huge variance of opinions. I think the fishing one is a great point. With fishing- every state is wide open because you can manage by size + slot & throw things back. Deer on the other hand take 5 years to get to maturity. pheasants are another one where...

That’s wild!!! I’d actually like to see that listing!!! “Box blinds & stands go with”. That’s hilarious when I see that.!!! “Ahhh, ya, this is $10m…. Don’t think we need to squabble over $100k in stuff that would be more a pain to take down & move than it’s worth”. How generous to throw...

FIRST TIME AT CLASSIC….. hmmm…. 20-ish years ago???? Something like that. It was shortly after I moved here. Long story super short…. Met a dude right when I moved here that was related to guys that owned THIS SITE! He says “they help u with food plots & habitat, funding them, etc!” I...

Western states are the pioneers of not exploiting the resource & almost every single one of them put a lot of stipulations or limitations on NR’s. I don’t blame them one bit. It’s a NECESSITY for RESIDENTS of ____ state to hunt. It’s a LUXARY of the NR’s By definition!!! The voters...

Appreciate those words. I do know N MN or N WI is kinda like UP of MI…. No one goes…. Deer hunting died. No deer in a lot of those regions. Major bummer. Used to be great!! IMHO- lack of big bucks is the downfall! Look at MN, MI, etc - everyone is quitting & no one wants to go there...

Looks fantastic!!!!! Clicked through pics like a breeze. Holy cow u did some work & u got some messes…. Awesome looking!!!! Wild how much it enhances deer use!!!

U know it’s propaganda when they start with “in 1930 there were 300,000 deer”…. RIGHT!!!!… the point in time when every big game animal was completely wiped off the face of the landscape of N America!!! Like saying “in 1930, there were only 5,000 buffalo, now there is ______”. That period...

God uses flawed people!!! We are all flawed for that matter. I don’t know the man’s heart & soul but I do believe he’s sincere in the way he said God spared him when that bullet missed him in that MIRACLE. Gods plan in my belief. All men are flawed…. I gotta say, the folks who claimed to be...

203ntyp- ur a good dude!!! Folks always disagree on some issues & different POV’s always welcome. My funds got unfroze as well for EQIP contract/ IRA funds My “wild guess” on CRP…. Trump is a deal maker & there’s a lot of political support for it. My guess is- it gets reduced or reformed...

$1.8B is the annual cost of CRP- NATIONWIDE. Start there & think of that!!!!! That’s NOT an expenditure that needs to be ripped to shreds IMO. CRP more than pays for itself. If we are looking at government waste. Reductions in pollution (someone pays for that in a variety of ways!)...

The democrats are way better on conservation, HUNTING, environmental issues, etc - in iowa. Now- there’s a lot of good R’s as well. But- all the “bad bills” that hurt all these things- hand full of almost always R’s that do this. & don’t get me wrong- D or R…. They are human beings & can...

I don’t know these folks. But… That’s the question I’d ask!!! If they did any of this illegal stuff & multiple trips repeating offenses- I’d probably question anyone’s buck that did that stuff in that situation. I know an earlier post from months back I was rattling off examples of the...

good post. & good ? Tariffs ALMOST always cause bumps & some pain. It’s kinda like treating an illness. Or like cutting gov spending … some groups “dang it, that hurt”. Clearly a reason for them: changing behavior, addressing trade deficits & matching tariffs or a form of taking in revenue...

MY HOOD!!!!!!!! Good gosh do we have a lot of issues!!!!!! I just heard about this & heard it hit the newspaper today. U get in areas with a “reputation”…. folks don’t realize the problems that come with it. Sounds like fines were stiff …. all paid which is good. I know some folks to...

FB is the source for most Iowa’s environmental, hunting, conservation & “outdoors” issues. If it’s not a corn or a bean field - it’s no good. No animal should be alive. No tree standing. I’m waiting for the legislation where every citizen of iowa is required to remove their lawns...

Absolutely top level question!!!!! Not really a right or wrong but lemme unpack a bit…. Usually what I’ll do is hit every area for Tsi on my farm & cut it differently based on goals & trees there. This part was that younger stand that TSI cost share never funded & kinda went to back of my...

Good one!! These guys disgust me!!! 1) they got a smaller herd!!!! 15 years are harvest is in HALF!!!! Western 3rd of state has been devasted along with many regions in other parts of state - from ehd. Not to mention habitat loss 2) they can already get depredation tags!!!! Plus 4+ months...
