It would be nice if they took these tags and made super raffle tags with them, I don’t like the idea of auctioning them off because only super wealthy guys will get them like they already do with the other auction tags. Could still generate a lot of money with the raffle tags and the average guy...

Tell Tell us your on your 20th covid booster without telling us your on your 20th covid booster.

Worse thing we can do for the deer herd is test for cwd, they hardly do anything to help with ehd that we know kills thousands of deer all while pushing this cwd bullshit that they get federal funds for. Never been a case of it transferring to humans, scare tactic just like previously stated. We...

I think we need to stop looking for a boogeyman and start looking in the mirror, I think deer numbers, especially mature buck numbers, are mainly down because of ehd and hunters. Every once great place is now ruined because it became popular for producing trophies and the hunters showed up and...

If your goal is a 5 year old then the size of the antlers shouldn’t matter. If I was you I would be looking for an old buck with poor genetics, to many top end young deer get targeted and that’s why there’s so few true giants anymore. He’s made it 4 years so I’d be betting on him.

If there is less hunters now like they say, then the guys that are hunting are way more serious. I wish there was a way to track day’s afield, I would bet most guys now spend way more time in the woods than the average guy did 15-20 years ago.

Same here, been trending this way for last 5 years or so. Less and less high scoring old bucks and now it seems less good genetic bucks in general, no matter the age.

It sat on the market with lynch real estate for awhile last spring and when it sold I think it was down to 4800 an acre, looks like a broker from heartland properties bought it, put in some plots and blinds and listed at 6200 about 6 months later and now the new owner relisted like a week after...

It’s still for sale, it’s the 3rd time it’s been for sale with different owners in a year.

Very spotty, some areas got hit pretty good but not nearly as bad as 2019 while other areas were absolutely fine. The areas where the majority of the farms are for sale were not hit very bad last year. A couple of those farms are turning over quick because guys think there’s gonna be a bunch of...

Just curious, what made you move to Iowa? Was it a job opportunity or was the over grown goat hunting so much better here than where you came from?

Im a NRLO and I’m fine with it, admittedly I don’t think it’s gonna make a huge difference in quality but I think every little thing helps. I also don’t feel the need to have to kill a buck every year, I’ll hunt when I have a tag and stagger that with friends and family when they draw, honestly...

Colorado does that, I’m sure it makes it harder but they now make crazy good open sights that guys can accurately shoot out to 300 plus yards. Only way to make it what it was meant to be (a primitive weapons season) is to go to flintlock only, old patch and ball. You’d see people giving up on...

No thanks, I think we should keep fighting to keep it as good as possible. Letting it go to hell and then trying to fix it will be nearly impossible, look at Illinois.

Neighbors are pretty good in the surrounding areas, a bunch of 500 acre tracts and quite a few over 1000. My old farm was just down the road, my bordering neighbors were 1200 acres 720 and 1000 and I had the same issues. Pre ehd there were so many mature bucks that you couldn’t kill 10 percent...

I would say a walk thru your property a few days after a fresh snow could show you the same things that a drone could.

I don’t see how this could be even remotely accurate, way too many variables. I would think you’d need to do this multiple times in different seasons over the course of a few years to truly get a good estimate. What happens if a pack of coyotes or trespassers walk thru the farm before the...

Definitely already happening, used to be a few 1000 plus acre tracts for sale, now there’s hardly any 500 acre tracts. The land flipping is getting crazy and guys are doing anything to make money like breaking up already small tracts, there was a 172 bought a few months ago and is back on the...

Its been for sale for a little while just not listed.
