There are 4,500 nonresident antlerless only tags For Gun 1/2.These are divided between all the county’s that have Antlerless tags. If you watch the county quota there is no coincidence that the popular Big Deer county’s sell out first. Using the Metric of Nonresident Land owners I know 90% have...

The lack of any Licensing or Regulations is one of stronger points in stopping this Bill. The other point made was this would allow NonResident hunters who hunt with Outfitters to jump to the front of the line ahead of everyone else with preference points. It was great to meet Phil Jeneary who...

I would agree with either closing the season for a week or so after 2nd Gun or ending all seasons on 12/31.what I would really prefer is to remove scopes from muzzleloaders. A few other states have done this recently. Something needs to change to allow more bucks to survive to maturity on a...

I have hunted Wyoming a few times. The last Elk hunt I went on in WY was at Wagon Hound. It was an incredible experience. Problem is it is crazy expensive and also takes 13 points. I have hunted Arizona and New Mexico many times but that was the best overall quality elk hunting experience I have...

This was Monday found by our tenant checking cows

Historically the crop years needed to be eligible for CRP are 4 of 6 crop years from the previous farm bill. Right now its 4 out of 6, using 2012-2017. The other catch is there needs to be a signup for some acres to qualify. The other way to get certain acres enrolled is if they qualify for...

Get bids for sure, my guess is the the 40 logs is actually 40 trees. I only cut 2 property’s this past winter and the price was real good but these were nice trees 20“ to maybe 28” this was measured inside the bark on the small end of each log. Unless these are really good trees you may be...

Thanks for the above,current market pricing always helps. The .45 cents at the Mill would be .25-30 cents on the landing to allow for trucking. I almost only cut Walnut so there is little/no pallet. I have a small cable skidder so I cant do high volume harvests.Timber cutting is my...

With the additional information about the species I will add that’s important to understand the economics of doing it yourself. the average maple tree will have maybe 250-300 board feet in it. Some will be more some less. The average board foot price if it’s cut at the right time of year is...

Depending on the size of the creek I would think a low water crossing of concrete or rip rap should work. In regards to doing it your self you can for sure if you have access to a skidder or 4 wheel drive utility tractor with a winch. A lot also depends on species as some like Walnut have to be...

That is likely Regrowth from a long ago harvest. I went to a IA Dnr forester field day.this question came up one of the foresters said if the union of the 2 trees is wide enough to put your foot on it is strong and leave it. I would agree with the above either leave both or cut both.

Yes 100% for this. Iowa in general is sliding in quality we need a few laws that are more restrictive instead of more Lenient Would all be a moot point unless the party hunting laws changed also. A fringe benefit would be slow down the filming and hunting Celebs.

I live and own farms in areas that have either high or way to high of deer populations. The current population is not sustainable from a habitat level or a social level. We utilize all opportunities to harvest does and take maybe 30-50 a year. I have a neighbor in Appanoose Co. Always late...

I have helped on a few farms that were self directed IRA, lots of rules for sure.The offers were written and then signed by the Custodian in this case it was a bank. The IRA must have the funds to buy the entire parcel. In one case we had to split off a 40 and pay for that with other money and...

The way I have done it when I have been involved was the farm was ”rented“.the tenant received the Crp and the total cash rent was adjusted to reflect it. In this case the tenant enrolled the CRP and then “owned” the contract. With family it would be fine.

Sell the trailer look for what they call 102 wide makes all the difference. I have a lowboy for a dozer that’s standard 96” hang some of the tracks over the side.

I have walked a few Propertys and helped review plans from a few of the big names. Overall these landowners felt that the money was well spent. Their focus seemed to be on access which is smart. The negative on both were their seemingly lack of basic agronomy knowledge. They wanted to move the...

i did some more research including some info from a helpful DNR person but I did find it. It’s called CWD incentive zone. Basically submit 3 female deer from these areas for testing and you get a extra either sex tag for the 2023 season.

I just checked the online harvest and there has been 994 shed bucks shot. i was talking to a landowner in Wayne Co. Pretty experienced guy that owns multiple farms. He commented needs to shoot one more doe to make 3 total this gets him an extra buck tag for next year. Haven’t seen or heard this...

Not sure where you are at but that one was just east of Albia about a week ago. The guy I know that got the pictures spoke With the Game warden he was aware of it and said it was collared in Valentine Nebraska.
