I’ve said for years- why don’t people have to pay to use it for everything else. I have to buy state passes in other states, and then on top, pay for spots at the campgrounds for camping. Anyone notice how nice other states are? Iowa for sure can do some tweaking!

I think a lot of people like the thought of eliminating party hunting (use your own tag)- but let’s be honest- how do you patrol it? I mean really the only way you can is to eliminate group hunting right? You shoot a deer, you’re done. No more pushing for the group? A group does late...

I believe smoke does kill scent (it’s been awhile since I’ve looked it up). I’ve got a wood boiler at my home place and have smoke rolling all the time, the deer are always in the smoke.

So I’m going to say- I quit reading this pretty quick when you keeping talking about time afield. No one is stopping anyone from going out and just sitting- tag or not? Heck start rabbit hunting early and late- why is it “unjust” if we ended deer season Dec 31- after 3 months of solid hunting...

I do think there are pockets of “a lot” of deer- but I have to say on my Allamakee farm for example- we get 1 doe pic a day right now on 40 acres and 4 cameras running. 5 years ago it was 40-50 pictures a day. My home farm, I’ve got 40 does/fawns a night right now- but that’s literally the...

Did you used to work in the Austin area if I remember correctly?

I feel like recovery could be useful, but very strict regulations. As in, hunter cannot see screen, cannot gain any intel on the herd, etc etc. Would have to be licensed with the State DNR in order to regulate it properly. I think its a rabbit hole you could go down for strict regulations-...

Haven’t hit 100,000 yet but I’m sure we do this weekend? I believe the late antlerless goes through this weekend yet?

All deer seasons end Dec 31 LOT tags be to actual landowner only (name on the deed) Cut doe tags to be on the offense for EHD

And unfortunately, like everything, you will only keep honest people honest- and the ones that will abuse it will take it off the deep end.

How do you measure the “quality” and “age” of the herd with a drone exactly? Serious question.

I clearly must live in an area that has no coyotes (it’s a joke) but the deer I shot this year, the gut pile literally laid there for a month before it was gone. I’ve got a stray cat I’ve kept around because- IT CHASES AWAY FOX! Most of the other stray cats have met their demise, but this one...

Well after I thought about it- she could have gotten youth, archery, late muzzy, and a landowner- however if she got the landowner antlered, her dad can’t unless they are breaking some major laws like signing her up as a tenant for example and dad as the landowner (not saying that’s the actual...

Really I’d start with the forester and work on your “woodland plan” first. Get that ironed out and then the information you will get will go a long ways. Remember the further you get from a mill- the less you will get for logs too. So that will also play a factor as to who will want to buy them...

He got to hunt Iowa 2 years in a row so far…

Gets to hunt Iowa 2 years in a row and the average Joe is left waiting- it’s sure not right… but hey- he shot a doe to help management and thanked the DNR… https://www.outkick.com/culture/morgan-wallen-bags-huge-buck-iowa-second-year-row

Congrats Brett! Well deserved!

Had 2 people today tell me since they still have their bow tag left, they can use their muzzleloader. It says it in the regs... Can anyone point me in the direction of that? I assume no where and the guys are idiots...

So I am looking at planting some switch in between 2 pieces of woods, mainly with Ash trees coming down all over, I am hoping I can provide a bit more cover until the woods can get thickened back up a bit. Its about 50 yards wide is all, that was just grass previously (nothing major). Ash trees...

Serious question- and this is a broad question for everyone- how long is your “verbal permission” good for? For example- a guy asked 3 years ago and never stopped again- does he assume he still has permission? I had a guy 3 years ago ask if his kid could sit my fence row for youth- hadn’t...
