I got my 1st season tag online for the first time this year. Tag came but my wife didn't say anything so I called the DNR number for the license department and they sent me another one. When I saw the first tag my wife showed me, I just tore it up and threw it away. I didn't check if the...

So if you want a challenge, why didn't you buy a spear versus a bow? Sounds like you're looking for a buddy in Iowa that will agree with you, sorry, maybe try another website!

DNR says as of today, 80,000 deer has been reported in the harvest count.

Unless you have a lot of land, it's a gamble to let a nice buck walk hoping he'll be back next year. Over the last few years I've let a couple good ones walk, yet to see them again but I know they're still there because my brother has seen them. It's up to the individual as to what they will...

Very nice buck, new farm looking good.

Patience paid off, congrats to him.

Hard to find cheaper ones, but at the time I bought the vinyl slider windows from Menards versus the ones I made from plexiglass in my 1st blind. They don't leak and keeps the inside dry. I've seen some used windows for sale that would good too. At the time I only paid $25 for the windows...

That had to be some pretty good public land because seeing 200" deer on private land is not a norm, even in Iowa.

Aslo a lot of smaller lockers stopped processing deer due to the process they have to go through in their locker. Local locker here will only take deboned deer meat. They are booked with beef and pork and will make a lot more money from that so really can't blame them since you shutdown all...

And that's the reason you don't see any mounts at my house!

Won't argue numbers are down, but with the warm temps so far, no real reason for the deer to move into the cover versus being out in the fields. Saw a lot of young deer so far, several older doe, but only one older looking buck. Several small bucks running around in the mix.

Guess it depends what you have for a window? Mine are vinyl sliders and and make no noise when opening and I can open them slowly enough that I've had does 5 yards from the blind. The blind is elevated, if on the ground not os easy.

Big buck.

I have a pvc pipe urinal set up in the blind that dumps out next to it. Had deer walk right through the area it dumps out. Even used it while having deer feeding 5 yards from the blind and nothing.

Just make sure you don't take too big of steps running because then you sound like Bigfoot and the deer will leave your area. :p

I don't bow hunt, but like to be in the blind close to an forty five minutes to an hour before shooting time. I can usually have the windows halfway defrosted by that time.

I'm with you, I don't have to kill a buck to have a good season. Yes I've passed on 150" bucks and shot a few also along with some bigger, but many times use my tag on a doe at the end of the season. If I haven't seen anything big, I'll hold out to the last day I know I'm hunting just incase...

No, I can't hit the broad side of a barn with an arrow.

I only have one older camera and put it out a couple week’s before gun season. Only reason I do is because I have it and it was free. Still like the idea of hurting each time knowing a big one can appear anytime. I only hunt one corner of the farm but always see deer. I do know when a big...
