To offer a different option...I have a Troy Built 220 mph and 600 cfm. Clearly not as good as the Stihl 800 (240 mph and 900 cfm) but also about 1/3 to 1/2 the cost. I have done half dozen burns with it and it has been absolutely fine and that includes a couple hairy situations it...

The ones dropped on my place were not so thick that a deer couldn't still get through. I can still get through, but its work. One area with little bedding was set up with a core areas (maybe a 20-30 yard circle) mess of trees then it has half a dozen spokes coming off it that are 50 - 100...

I've had a 120 acre piece for ten years. Has a good variety of terrain and decent cover. I've take several 150-180' deer over the first nine years. I wanted to start making it even better so I hired Midwest habitat to come down and do TSI for two days. That made some reasonable bedding areas...

A lot of good stuff in this and others posts to help people look at their spending in different ways to help them get what they really want. My family growing up was very blue collar and frugal. Luckily that rubbed of on some of the kids. When I was in college (1990), my plumber older brother...

Has anyone here had luck pulling these? I am looking at buying a tree/post puller ($1,500) for my tractor and pulling 10 acres that are THICK with these bushes. I know its not near as fast as running a forestry mulcher over them but just curious if anyone else has done this. Hack and squirt...

IBA update on 2/18/24 SF 2324 (formerly SSB 3129) - Land Acquisition Restrictions (O) - This bill restricts the acquisition of real property by the Department of Natural Resources. The bill authorizes the DNR to only acquire property through willing donors and sellers. The Department also shall...

Kind of similar answer here on WRP. You will have to dig into the details with them. I have 60 acres in a WRP that I can put plots in, but it was put in WRP in the 80's, so the details are likely different than one recently enrolled. I am restricted on how much food plot and I have to have...

So what are the rules on this? If a pig is on my ground I can shoot and eat it? How about cattle?

that 1306 acre property might have gone 20% under list but it was still over $5500 an acre. That's not like it's a low price.

PM me if you want me to give it a go. I make several PowerPoint presentations a year. I don't get overly fancy and your audience probably isn't looking for that anyway. To the point, animation where the lines "fly" or "spin' in, and maybe some canned pictures. Putting in tables or graphs is...

Just being a smart a** here. So if this had passed, I could have registered as an outfitter to get out of state tags for my friends in Michigan?

Great story to follow! Thanks for sharing. I do need to warn you though. The last harvest pic is NOT a whitetail! Not sure of the legalities in Iowa but I won't tell anyone if you don't. ;)

You won't regret it.

That is awesome! I had a Canadian goose follow me down the road, into my driveway, and onto the front porch before. It was clearly tame though. I opened my garage to try and catch it in my dog crate and it just walked in the crate by itself for a piece of bread. Easiest trapping job I ever...

Buy when you can. let's say I'm 40 and can afford my first hunting land purchase but want lower prices. I wait 4 years to hopefully get a correction. Well even if I use the property heavily until I'm 80, I still lost 10% of my years of enjoyment. I literally can't remember a time I've heard...

Iwom is awsome but I would still recommend wearing socks. ;)

Judge, you've probably already picked up.on the sentiment here already...but just in case I'm another NO. At short as I can make my point is...Iowa has great deer hunting because of its regulations. So don't mess with the regulations!

you will love the iwom. hade one for several years now. it's the cats meow for stand hunting. walk in with muck arctic boots and fairly light clothing. climb in the suit and all is good. best 300 bucks I ever spent on hunting cloths. you can spend an extra $1000 for fancy name brand...

Current harvest count from today shows about 91,000. This is down 10,000 to 20,000 (also happens to be close to 10-20%). I don't know how many will be taken late season, but it is looking like it will be one of the lower harvest in several years...

I shoot the black hornet now but have used the stinger also. both with bleeders. either is good. stinger should have a slightly better penetration with its longer design. black hornet should be slightly stronger because it is supported oit closer to the tip and might have thicker blades. a...
