Congrats on y’all’s (hopeful) success. I’ll continue to wait 5 years for my NR tag. Hope to visits the great state of Iowa in 2023.

Very sorry that they are chipping away at y’all’s awesome deer hunting. As a NR, I honestly don’t want them to ruin what y’all have but I’d be a liar if I said I will not take advantage of any extra opportunities that are presented minus the 80 acres and 10 year wait. I’d be more inclined to...

I think their numbers may be correct as of right now but definitely not long term. How many NR would have bought 80 acres and just sat on it for the last 10 years? In that time, they could have bow hunted it 3 times at the most. I almost purchased 40 acres up there about 8 years ago but did not...

Thanks for keeping everyone updated.

Gotcha. While I hate only going up there every 5 years, I sure don’t want it to turn into Kansas or Illinois. There’s a reason we wait so long and pay so much. It’s worth it.

When we NR apply and get rejected, they keep about $68.00 for the PP. They also hold the money we sent for a few months again, minus the $68.00 Imagine if an extra 5000 people put in because of that and they get the extra $68.00 plus the interest earned for 3 months. It all adds up. Now, how...

Thanks Joe!

The only dual purpose clip ones that I have seen were very expensive. It was thermal and not night vision though. Up there, a top end night vision scope would be great especially with snow on the ground however, no snow and corn stubble and a thermal would be better. I used NV and thermal...

They develop thick coats in cold weather. Even down here in Georgia, there is a very noticeable difference in their coats in January versus July.

Hogs thrive in cold weather. Russian hogs are from cold climates. The extreme cold may help regulate their breeding but they’ll be fine.

For sure. A blast to hunt and I totally get why people THINK they want them. If they bred like deer and could be controlled they would be ok but they have 2 litters a year with no set breeding season. Gestation is 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days and sexual maturity is 6-8 months. Easy to see how...

From someone that lives in Georgia, kill them all and any way you can.

I live in Georgia and love to hunt Iowa but I think this is a horrible idea. What makes Iowa great is limiting NR pressure. All you have to do is look at Illinois and Kansas now compared to what they used to be. Y’all need to fight this. Good luck with the fight.

Very nice gesture.

Just add their kitten to the bill! LOL

I agree but we have the same issues in Georgia. My thoughts are, if you like your dogs, keep them where they’re supposed to be. If that’s a problem, then you’re the problem. Not the dogs. How could they get upset if you caught their dogs on your property? Down here, no collar, it’s SSS.

Congrats. I was having ankle surgery on the 23rd. Would have much preferred to be in a tree in Iowa.

Just shoot them high in the shoulder straight above the front leg. They will drop on the spot, legs will curl up, they may kick a few times, then they’re done.

It was weird in middle Georgia also. Have friends that hunted in Kansas that saw the same thing. Some other buddies own a fair amount in SE Nebraska and they only saw a few mature bucks while they were bow hunting. Very peculiar year no matter where you were hunting.
