I believe that it is still each states choice in the matter. It will definately lead to problems. Pretty sad day I think.

Spend the extra money at get a good one if you think it is going to get abused. Nikon, Burris, and Leupold (sp?) all make decent spotters, but the best would be Swarovski and Leica.

How am I being selfish? At what point would you ever say enough is enough? As for my skills. Well, I am not the best hunter out there for sure. I do okay though. I wouldn't consider myself a trophy hunter, rather a hunter that has gotten to a point that just shooting any deer with any...

I wouldn't let it worry you to much. You have every right to be on that public ground. Stay within the rules and regs. and ignore people like that.

"I dont think the bonus sesaons are gonna have much effect on the deer population,most people already have a freezer full of deer well before they open". Those are your words buckknife. What would you say about these bonus seasons to the folks that lost their child? Your anthing goes...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Yes, the ragweed is quite a bit taller that most of the plot. The plot is about an acre, maybe a little more. I will look into the wick applicator. Maybe even just spray Shredder's shirt with roundup and and let him run around in it for a while. Sorry buddy...

I planted a mixture of turnips, chicory, rape, and clover this spring. The plot came up well, but I have a ton of ragweed growing as well. Seems as if the ragweed was in the seed mix that I bought because there is very little weed growth other than this. Anyway, is there anything that I can...

I am with ya Ghost. Don't really know what else to say. Every year we are learning more and getting closer to their goals. Evidently that isn't good enough. Just too much pressure from Farm Bureau and State Farm is the bottom line and some of them are trying to keep their jobs.

I think you would be fine. I am planting some big blue stem and indian grass this weekend. I bought it from the dnr and they said it was fine and that they are still planting a lot of natives.

Why is the DNR trying to perform brain surgery with a chainsaw? Institute check stations, get factual data, and make educated decisions. Coming on here and patronizing us is insulting. We all know where this is going. Heck, there are folks getting on here from all over the country that have...

We are reminded of the direction that society is going everyday. Even if the weirdo wasn't guilty, he should have been put in jail for being stupid enough to get himself in this situation to begin with.

Re: THE BEGINNING OF THE END, ENJOY WHAT WE HAVE N I'm with Rod on this one. The way they did this is as bad as what they did.

This is being put in place because the Farm Bureau and other insurance agencies are all over the DNR and legislators. It has nothing to due with the deer being over populated. It has everything to due with insurance agencies that don't want to hold up their end of the bargain by paying out...

Seems weird that they will implement a plan to change the numbers when they admittedly don't know what the numbers are. As for 44% of the hunters saying there are to many deer. I would think that was to get more tags, not because they felt there were to many deer. I can hear that 44% saying...

I will be heading to CO for archery elk and mule deer. Can't wait.

My corn right now is about 4"-6" tall. Clover, chicory, and rape are really gonna take off with this moisture. Timing was almost perfect in my neck of the woods.

Keep them for physically disabled. Thats it. Once they get the foot in the door in other seasons (gun) it leaves bow season wide open. Remember, there are gun hunters that don't want to have to share the season with more hunters too.

bowmaker...I agree with much of what you said. Especially about how some nimrod was picking up more arrows cause he is a crappy hunter. I do believe that a good healthy debate usually leads to one side or the other or both learning something. The problem does not lie in the method of hunting...

So if the legislature made it legal to hunt all of Nov. with a rifle and put crossbows in the bow season, you guys wouldn't have a problem with it? If they allowed 20,000 n.r.'s to hunt Iowa every year, you wouldn't care? I mean if it is legal than you have to support it. After all, they are...

It's only no different if that same deer was going to run by all 3 hunters who have the same shooting ability. The difference lies in the fact that some folks get a tag for their daughter, mother, grandma, dog, tractor, and imaginary friend, and then proceed to fill those tags for folks who...
