That’s why they get depredation tags- and I agree- it’s a very slippery slope, especially in Iowa where we have such little habitat. I think tweaking can be done to both LOT tags and the Depredation program. I don’t think either should be removed, unless Iowa went to 1 buck state- then I think...

Everyone says landowners should get rid of a tag- and that’s my fear- you get rid of it and now you are giving more reasons to get rid of habitat. Better yet, let’s revamp the LOT system, require only the name on the deed to get a tag if you have habitat. Impossible I know- but a guy who owns...

Kaleb- sounds like we might be a stones throw apart- we had EHD hard this year just south of the MN border from Austin

Saw some at scheels today that looked super nice- but I’m a base layer only guy. More things to go wrong and tick me off at the wrong times

I’ve got one here that the brisket looks like a small steer. She’s just huge

Browning- they sell some without antennas too so super easy to conceal.

Are you my neighbor?! So my neighbor did this exact thing- alllll the deer use it because it “created cover”!! So now there is a treestand about 45 ish yards from my kids playset because that’s what he learned. I’ve told him multiple times he could access using my piece as long as he let me...

Past 5 days has been a light switch for us for sure. In an area with a lot of EHD reports so I’m not shocked

The answer I was ultimately looking for. Appreciate it Skip- and appreciate everything you do!

I’ve run Tactacam and Browning’s (selling my Browning’s due to losing a farm) but I’ve honestly had great luck with both. I found the Browning app was better for me versus the Tactacam app. I don’t seem to have much problems with batteries but run Lithiums in everything, and I like the...

I just checked and saw that harvest numbers are 87,337- so do we think we are going to break 100,000- or is this exactly what is needed for the DNR to just start dropping doe tags? Do you think they can react now? Because I feel like if we dont break 100,000, we more than likely wont next year-...

I’ve noticed here- it’s the older dads (60+) with the sons, sometimes grandkids but typically once the old man says he is done- the groups quit as everyone wants to just sit or just don’t go. I know of only one group with multiple 30 year olds, and that group is very “techy” and very picky. But...

That’s awesome! Congrats to you both! I wish my dad would still hunt with me- but he’s chosen to just not hunt. Cherish every moment!

Cwd was first found in the 60s- it’s been here a very long time and hasn’t done near the damage of EHD

kill all of your deer and make you wish you didnt say anything- with a farm in Allamakee that we barely get 3 pictures a day of deer anymore, id never tell anyone if we shot a sick looking deer again. One of the "positives" was a neighbor that has told me everytime, he never would have wanted a...

but the thing is- and why I say it needs to be looked at- the deer arent the ones actually doing the amount of damage they claim. I do farm, my dad farms, talk to all my neighbors. I KNOW coon are doing way more damage versus the deer, and again, why I say it needs to be looked at. Not "taken...

So not a today photo since I’ve been slacking- but this was from last year

I also think depredation tags need a real hard look. Neighbor shot 41 deer during 1st season with 12 guys in the group, in a buck only county for first (but depredation tags shoot whatever) that seems like an alarming problem too
