Very good points. Especially on the crusty old bucks that no one wants to kill. Those bucks will overtake a farm & the quality of bucks will decline over time if they are not managed. Being able to kill more than 1 buck & manage the “Crustys” is a good thing for the overall quality of the buck...

I owned farm in North mercer also & experienced the same thing with tags. Before the tags, the MDC called me to see if they could go & kill deer off my farm in late January thru March timeframe. Baiting w/ corn, cell camera, shooting any time of day or night. I asked the guy calling if he...

Just bought a new bow sling tonight specifically for this reason!

Congrats! Great buck Charlie!!

I had one hard horned last week-

Looks like it!

If this is in fact true, even more non/ resident will be selling & going to Kansas, MO Etc. Rec land pricing definitely going to be impacted. Is there any quick way a person could figure out what % of land in Iowa are owned by residents vs. non??

I had a younger one in my farm in Monona county a few years back- hearing there is at k look east one showing up in that area.

Was that the one with no cover & he was hunting his neighbors fence line where all the timber is? Or am I thinking of a different one??

That’s great Skip! Where did u get permission to hunt? Or was this a public land buck again? Either way Congratulations!

Lol!!

they used to carry the lithium and dont now for some reason- every time I am in there I ask about them but still not back. Sam's does carry them for $1.90 a piece give or take.

I have two boys- 20 & 16. The 20 year old never was able to youth hunt much on a good farm due to us not owning one when he was of age- the 16 year old was more fortunate & has hunted 3-4 youth seasons. The older is much more appreciative of hunting in general & the whole idea of hunting &...

Yep! The border is a disaster- google some myorkas hearings. What a complete incompetent director of Homeland security. The App he ok’d so illegals could schedule times to cross a check- point & enter the country is embarrassing.

On the Gun aspect- I don’t think the dems will ever sit down & talk about it. They don’t actually want the problem fixed. It’s way too easy when there’s a shooting to blame the right vs. coming up with a solution. They simply do not want this issue fixed. It’s a platform they use to get...

I am right in the area in Mercer & had corn piles & sharp shooters on 2 neighbors properties- ( one deer tested positive & no others with all the testing they have done from the sharp shooters) I totally noticed the steady decline of older & mature deer in the last 3-4 years. I also found a...

Very nice! Congratulations!!

The main reason is because a lot of these hunters have had no experience with great mature deer and high numbers. They have never seen good hunting. This is what they are used to & they feel they need to shoot the first deer they see cuz it may be the last and typically that is a small buck...
