What's so hard to understand about turning around immediately once you are unsure of the property or location you are. Its our responsibility as hunters to take safe shots at all times, its just as critical to know where you are at and if you don't turn around and get to a place you do.

While I'm all for more hunting access but I can imagine the trouble this will cause in some area's. I have about 135 acres that borders over 1000 acres of timber, a good portion of which has no fences or boundry markings. For the most part neighbors respect these boundries as everybody know's...

Spot on. More NR hunters mean more land purchased for outfitting. 6000 NR any sex tags is plenty.

Trespassing is trespassing. Rather it be in my home or on my hunting property I will prosecute. Letting it go or bargaining after it only invites it more. I agree that approaching them the first time should be done with a sense of civility even when pressing charges. No need to cause what...

Resident hunting tags are relatively cheap. I'd rather see them raise the resident tag prices than increase the number of NR tags. With the large volume sold it would be minimal to make up the difference. I'd guess around $5.00-$10.00 a tag.

I'm not claiming there are not nuts out there but I think a lot of peoples reputation is far worse than they actually are. I wouldn't own land in an area that I had to live in fear of what tresspassers would do if I pursued legal action against them. If they are doing other crimes such as...

Not sure I like the fact that there is that clear of aerial view of my home and property for anyone in the world with internet access to see without permission. It is a very cool ap.

Why are white deer protected in the first place? Its not like we want these types of deer to expand to larger numbers.

I really don't think that would ever happen. I think they should just be honest and not claim its to stop the spread of disease but to keep a certain ethical standard to our hunting. I have no problem with that until they say we cannot plant or more so hunt over food plots. IMHO there is a big...

BINGO! FTR I'm not against banning hunting over a food/nutrition source that isn't planted in that location (ie Food Plot) but it should not be illegal to put certain supplements out for wildlife. I don't want our deer hunting to look like the black bear hunting you see where they put out...

Unfortunately neighbors are often the trespassers or play a role in trespassing, exactly what appears to have happened here. Too many people take it personally when a place they use to hunt comes under new ownership (or is leased) and somehow feels cheated because they no longer have free...

I'd tie a little card to the antler saying smile, you're picture has just been sent to my computer and I will be pressing charges against you. Bare minimum you would scare the shit out of them and they might not come back.

LMFAO! That's got to be the biggest crock of shit I've ever read. I'd love to hear the "excuse" for no orange and carrying a gun during deer season. Like the old saying goes "its easier to ask for forgiveness than permission." With the easy access to landowner plots and aerial photo's...

If they are bold enough to continue to tresspass knowing you know no fence is going to stop them. I'm sorry but a % of hunters have no f'in respect for property lines.

160 8 is huge. 200"+ 8 is fishy.

Keep in mind meat hunting is what destroyed the Iowa deer herd in the late 1800's. If the population supports guys taking multiple deer then fine but sooner or later it will catch up to us. Add in a stretch of bad winters and our numbers will be like we had in the 80's before we know it.

Lets not jump to conclusions before the PC. It might just be DJK and ARob. Rumor has it Jewel refused the test and that is why he is leaving.

I'm against gov tags for anyone. (I love the vets idea). Celeb's should not get an advantage over the average hunter. What is harvested here and ends up on the net is all the marketing that is needed. You have to be pretty out of touch with deer hunting to not know that Iowa is known for a high...

I disagree. Baiting is much different than planting food plots as it can be put in places where food plots cannot grow. I don't think there is anything wrong differentiating between the two. I thought some types of baiting were illegal during the hunting season and thought currently in Iowa you...
