Another over looked and critical part of an out of state DIY hunt is who your hunting partner is or partners are. DIY hunts require a lot of research and work both physically and mentally. Everyone involved will be tested in various and important ways during the hunt and how well you hunt...

Picked up a very solid 5pt shed on January 8th near some standing corn while hiking to my spot during late muzzy. Hoping he didn’t drop so early due to injury or poor health as I’m looking very forward in chasing him on this particular public piece next year!

Thank you Rjack. We are extremely happy to be here for many many reasons and excited for the changes!

I have to agree with you on the simple fact of how insanely competitive the “sport” of deer hunting has become and likely will continue to become even more so. This thread on this site is definitely a big reminder of that fact. I was looking at it from the perspective of the curiosity and...

Nope we got the move accomplished just awhile back and we now live up in Allamakee county. Both work and the beauty of the area along with all the outdoor hunting and fishing opportunities is why we ended up where we did in NE Iowa.

I apologize I see why you would be abit upset. I didn’t mention that I live in Iowa. My fiancé and I moved to Iowa this summer. We are in the NE part in Allamakee county. My thread topic was in no way meant to gather free information. It was however meant to be an open debate on the subject out...

I'm curious to hear peoples thoughts, ideas or even experiences on these two prominent deer hunting areas of the state. Unless your a deer hunter who never turns on a tv or a computer or has not opened a deer hunting magazine in the past 10 years or so, then it's common knowledge the kind of...

Not looking at any particular towns. Pretty much anywhere within those two counties and area is good. Preferably something outside of a town would be first choice for sure. Otherwise the right place in a town would be ok also.

Hahahaha convincing her of that could be a challenge......and I kinda like her ;)

Ohhh man three things I definitely will NOT miss from Michigan...…..the professional sports teams, feet and feet of snow that lasts forever and the terrible deer hunting!! (age class herd structure and lack of hunting opportunities and and and....I could keep going). Detroit…...what a lovely...

Thx for much appreciated thoughts and ideas!! This is of course a big move for us and a huge lifestyle change that we completely believe in and ready for. We are excited and nervous it's so cool!! Did you move out to Iowa on your own or with a girlfriend or fiancé/wife? Just curious is all...

Hi everyone, Pretty new to this forum but I have found it very informative, helpful, fun and a good group of people. Wasn't sure where to post this thread topic so I figured this was as good a spot as any. My soon to be fiancé and I are soon making a move from southern MI to NE Iowa...

Man ain't that the truth! I'm not sure anyone out there makes hunting clothing or warm clothing in general that will keep these women warm once the temps get below that "frigid" 65 degree mark ;) However my woman says Under Armour 4.0 is one of the best. So maybe that's something to try.

Can't stand politics for barely one second......I definitely missed the joke ;)

Meaning exactly??

Marionslayer can you PM me some more info or details? Thanks

Albia......Centerville......Osceola area. Would like to in small town atmosphere and lots of country which I know is very easy to find in Iowa of course. But the South central area of Iowa is where I'm looking

Awesome to hear! Obviously I know it snows in Iowa also but living here in the snowbelt of SW MI I will NOT miss all the snow and the severe winters. I'm glad to hear it sounds like your loving it out there.

Thanks Sligh for all the positive words and thoughts! We are definitely spoiled in a lot of ways here in Michigan in regards to all of our lakes, rivers and streams and the huge and diverse fishery. However I couldn't agree more with you in regards to how over used and beaten up all of our...

I'm a lifelong Michigan native and resident with a deep passion and obsession with the outdoors, nature, fishing, and hunting many different animals. However chasing whitetails with a bow has been my main obsession and true love for over 20 years now. I'm looking at relocating to southern Iowa...
