Dude. You get to hunt your property the second week of October and the third week of December. Whatever someone decides. Please spend money on land, tax, but stay away. It’s stupid.

Skip. I agree with you most of the time but not on this. The so called luxury has been manufactured by video stars, social media and the internet show casing a state. People see and want to go. The cost of the “luxury” has zero to do with conservation of the resource. It has everything to...

Resident vs Non Residents crock. It’s stupid. We’re all US citizens. What’s next, showing your “papers” to cross a state line. IMO low deer numbers, ehd, cwd, I pay more taxes as a citizen etc are a bunch of buzz words for specific groups to get their way. I guarantee when I was a nrlo I...

Realtors and box blind manufacturers. A few cost north of 5 and 6 k. Crazy.

What’s Trump lying about. Another I don’t like Trump post. Who is Trump at war with? He’s trying to stop wars. What did the last administration do to end the Israeli or Ukraine wars. Do you understand tariffs?? Why should our imports be taxed and other countries imports not?? The...

What’s Trump lying about? Be specific. Unsupported blanket comments don’t cut it. Trump doesn’t support Ukraine or Russia. Both leaders are lying scum bags. Trump just threatened sanctions on Russia if they don’t come to the table. It takes time to unf**k four years of complete Biden...

Looks like committee approved the new farm unit requirement 21-0 today. However, it’s amended lessening the acreage requirement to 20 ac purchased after 01/11/2027. It appears there’s a grandfather clause in here for current landowners. I don’t quite get the 2027 date but it’s in there.

CRP has been hiding beneath the “habitat”, “conservation”, “wildlife benefits” labels for years. It’s an inflated program that does little of the above. Looks good on paper though. As I said above I was in crp for 20 years and got out. Absolute joke with clueless government officials at fsa...

I’ll be in the minority here. When I first learned of the crp program many years ago I couldn’t believe the Govt would pay yearly not to plant crops claiming erosion control, building soil carbon and so on. I was in the program for 20 years and saw little benefit. Had the occasional covey of...

What’s the acorn cruncher. I never heard of it. Lol. Deer eating acorns. ???

No no. I got the flex seal canoe A canoe in a kiddy pool that will not sink.

Dude. You’re all over the place.. I mentioned ag ownership because the average age of Iowa’s farmers is based only on ag land; without calculating the avg age of the rec owner. That’s all.

You’re combining rec farm and ag ownership. Can’t do it. . The average age in Iowa of today’s farmer is 57 according to Farm Bureau. ISU has the age a bit higher. But, ISU does not separate rec farm owners and ag farm ownership. Two different markets. Do you want to farm or hunt? 92%...

Another ramble with zero facts, calling people ignorant and answering nobody’s questions.

The current system of 2 acres is abused. It needs fixed. How much property do you own, what do you do? You say life has treated you well. What’s that mean. You refer to stats with no reference and speak in generalities . Of course older folks own more land. As one lives they tend to make...

How many times you gonna say the same thing. Be a lobbyist, visit the state capitol, we get your position. Horse meet stick.

Trump has done more good for this country in 6 weeks than Biden, Obama and the Clintons did in their entire careers. Talk about a bunch of career politicians who became wealthy off of the democratic voter with blinders on. Those three families are the real crime families. I guarantee.

They sprung nothing. The mineral deal was proposed several days ago. What escalated the meeting is Trump refused to protect Ukraine if Russia invaded in the future. Smart imo. If Russia invades, we put American troops on the ground, you have the beginning of WWIII. Zelenskyy will come...

FWIW I use a Redneck 750 lb gravity feeder. No issues.

Agree. Fuzzy math qdm. Iowa has 35 million acres of land with only 2.8 million forested. As Skip always points out that’s only 8% of the total acreage. Most Iowa land isn’t optimum whitetail country. It goes without saying many don’t report their harvests. That 5000 buck number is higher.
