Heat will kill the bugs. If you can create a makeshift kiln to hold heat around 150F for a short time it will kill whatever is inside. You'd probably want to hold the heat for a good half hour to make sure the interior of the wood reaches temp. This is how bedbugs are killed when they're...

I'd imagine it's like most over game laws, up to the discretion of the officer.

I wonder how many tags go unfilled because of guys waiting on that bruiser they caught on camera, but never see during the season. Maybe passing up a nice 140s buck you'd otherwise shoot had you not known about the other bigger buck. It leads to excitement and disappointment. lol

The small property I just bought has some big bur oaks but most of the timber is overrun with weed trees, mulberry, elms, and others still to be determined. What's the best course of action as far as TSI. I don't want to clear cut it. Should I focus on killing invasives and larger...

Thanks for the replies. I'm starting to think it'd be better to buy a cheap tractor to just leave at the property that's a better fit for the job.

Can anyone recommend a small utility type tractor that I can mow my yard with and also use to brush hog, disc plots, drag small trees, etc.? Thanks.

Have you guys considered an electric golf cart? They're silent, and a good used one is similar in price to the bike. It would be considerably more useful. Just a thought.

It seems obvious what is on the horizon for farmland values, and possibly rec ground to an extent, but we shall see. Bubbles tend to pop...

Great thread! I follow land sales pretty closely and have for several years. There seems to be a lot of people with a lot of money right now, I guess due in large part to the stock market. I think that has a pretty big impact of rec land sales. The part I can't wrap my head around is...

I made a mock scrape a couple weeks ago and took a leak in it. It got a lot of action from bucks and does.

With the corn and soybean varieties we have today farmers can produce pretty large crops through about any climate other than the extremes. With so many acres having been brought into production when grain prices were through the roof, huge crops are here to stay, which puts a lot of pressure on...

Did you get missed with last nights storms? Eastern Iowa got hit pretty hard.

Corn futures have dropped a dollar in the past 3 weeks. Hopefully guys got locked in when it was up over $4.00. USDA predicts third biggest harvest since 1933. I guess between pretty favorable weather throughout the country and another huge number of acres planted there's just nowhere to go with...

Holy smokes now that's a culvert. How much is something like that? What is it about 72" x 30'?

It looks like most of the Midwest had a favorable week of rain (or are forecasted to) and corn prices are dropping like a rock. Limit down today and largest 2 day drop since August. Shaping up to be a pretty good crop for most. Hopefully you guys in SE Iowa get the moisture you need.

There's always some people who will overpay, especially as prices are dropping. You have to look at averages being paid. Land prices have been dropping for 2 years and will continue to do so until they make sense again. As a whole, not based on a very small percentage of properties bought for...

It was awesome except the fact that prevent defense couldn't stop a nose bleed and Minnesota marched it right through them for a touchdown. They came very close to finding a way to piss the game away, luckily their kicker didn't give them the chance they needed. I'm a die hard Hawk fan and...

They have to have a reasonable suspicion you've committed a crime. They don't just randomly search every house that has a hunter living in it. Believe it or not they are not above the constitution. Get over that.

Because I'm against the government overstepping their bounds. Would you be ok with your mailman opening your mail looking for illegal activity. If you have nothing to hide, who cares, right?

This seems like a 4th amendment violation. Randomly searching vehicles of anyone hunting or fishing? Who are they, the Gestapo? I'm no poacher and I hate those that do it, but this is wrong.
