I’ve said that many posts back- it’s not just “2 acres” as everyone claimed. There are the regulations needed- but how many people truly are bypassing that… you can change it to 40, but until the actual regulations are even followed- there literally is no way to control it.

I’ve heard several people already say this year they havent found a single shed- on primo ground too. A story that I know- local group would get all of the out of state hunters they could get to hunt with them- they would drop them off on one side of a section and tell them “yup we have...

I’ve heard the rule of thumb is they only last about 5 years? That what you’ve noticed? (Or I should say produce for 5 years)

My neighbor is the same way- he put up posts where "the property line is" as he just randomly walked around doing. Its only to keep him on his own land- as I have plenty of pictures of him walking up my draw various times of the year. Every time I send him his picture and then move the camera...

I went to a DNR field day last year and they took us to a “clear cut”. Said the officer that did it just about got ran out of the state due to his idea. Cut every tree down and started “fresh”. Man- it’s beautiful today and they are going to select cut this summer. Just know it’s always going to...

Also- I think there is a lot of concern that you get rid of the under 40 lot, then there will suddenly “be room” for non resident lot with 40+- hence opening the gate more unintentionally

I answered those 4 questions a page ago I think? But sure hope someone else chimes in too- I like the constructive conversation. Oddly- I do believe if you said take away all of them- would be less of a battle. I think if we said “floating lot”- suddenly NR will be “why do they get a floating...

I feel like you are ignorning me Skip, it hurts my feelings ;) I have answered your questions (or maybe I should be going elsewhere to answer?-but this is my social media) but again, the problem that is faced, in my opinion, is the acre argument. Thats clearly dividing a lot of people which...

Thank you, I honestly did not know that answer.

Your questions What merits shooting an “extra” buck off more than 40? Again we keep all the talk about “bucks”. Let’s not forget this is any sex. I’ve thrown out my neighboring apple orchard is 37 acres and DNR says they don’t have enough damage for dep tags. So now they can’t attempt to keep...

I think he meant it as in "no additional tags added for ten years" I could be wrong... fearing, somehow, Nonresident landowners with 40+ acres will get tags added (thats how I read it anyway)

I do want to say, 1000 times over, thank you for all that you do Skip. And everyone that can attend and has attended, Thank you. Some days I can potentially make it and some days not. I am closer to Minneapolis than I am Des Moines, so it's tough sometimes. Thank you all- and again, thank...

Correct- they ask for 1 parcel. Not all

Ive heard they make a spray for that? but if its inside the camera, that cant possibly work. I know all my cameras, regardless of brand, fog when they are in the "open" areas. Now if we really want to talk about 360s- I still have one of the Wildgame Innovation 360s- and it still WORKS. NO ONE...

absolutely agree- again, I think there are ways to clean it up before they start taking. Just my opinion the baby steps need to happen otherwise there will be an uproar. I think this has been a very constructive discussion on here, thats not always the case with Facebook or most of the general...

I’m for both as long as it’s all tags removed, if it’s truly about the resource. Again- there is zero data that says the deer ever get shot on “2 acres”. That’s the thing. If there was a revamp to the system to list out all parcels, and someone only had 2 acres- boom- removed. But it still...

Literally just plugged in numbers- I don't care either way. I heard on a podcast today that a "decent sized" farm in Iowa is 160 acres. And that the AVERAGE farm is 345 acres. I guess lets plug those numbers in instead? I have been fighting since the beginning either all or none... I just...

First year here they didnt touch mine, last year I had to fence while growing to actually get anything.

So let me ask you this- are you looking for "one spot" to hunt- how are you wanting to hunt it? I think a bit broader picture might help for that aspect. If you have a good enough screen, the one access next to the bedding wouldnt be terrible, but if they are bedding that close to your access-...

So I will play my "best case scenario" for any form of Landowner tag cleaning up. Call this a 4-5 year plan for example. You would never be able to tackle this all at once. 1- No more tenants. I think this is abused. 2- Landowner on Deed only. (Remove LLC? etc? I dont know how that works in...
