I know the couple around me won’t give it away- they want astronomical prices for bags- but also now they do “plot” seed bags too for this reason and still want way too much. Last year the local conservation gave away left over bags to people who would plant it but not harvest. Worth checking in...

Only you can answer it- my goal is a 200” every year but then filling the freezer becomes more important. I have 16 acres- the neighbor shoots everything that walks and aren’t good shots, so I take the next best thing. Every situation is different- either way- whatever you decided I’m betting...

What part of the state are you in?

You can come door knock- it’s all good. Most of the landowners are corporations and the people renting aren’t allowed to give permission. The other folks are hunters themselves. For example- one farmer has about 7000 acres locked up (owned/rent) and 6 miles away another farmer/seed company has...

Everything within 25 miles of me is a “no” on private. I’ve never had anyone ask for either one of my farms…

Nope, same farm where others are working fine. And again, they work fine for a few days, and then just randomly stop for a few days, and then are back. The farm is 2 1/2 hours away so not like I can troubleshoot very easily. However every time I have been there and checked the cams (I walk past...

My wife works at a state college- they sent out email blasts that they would be brining in therapists to handle the “election loss”…. What’s that say…yikes

Is anyone else having trouble with Tactacams checking in? I’m currently running 6 cameras- 4 of which work perfectly normal (I think). I’ve got 2 others that will check in for 4-5 days (and send pics) and then suddenly go 4-5 days without and no pics, and then suddenly check in and start...

Had 13 in does/fawns in the plot last night- zero bucks to be seen.

I don’t have a deer here 135” on my home farm- shooting bullies this year. It’s all I can do really

So I hit a buck Thursday morning smack on the shoulder (small snafu at time of shot) watched him go to the middle of a bean field and stand for an hour- then walked off. Zero blood. Tonight he came in dogging does and didn’t make it out of the plot. I don’t have a good answer- I just know I’ve...

My relation had to do that one night and ended up shooting a 177 in his underwear- camo is overrated he said.

I can usually get it about anywhere near me on the IA/MN Border- I travel all over the state too if I need to bootleg it

Around here the FSA office drives around the fields with GPS units and gets verified acres. Then after that- you always have your acreage, it’s up to your renter then to figure out how he’s “losing” ground. Maybe he doesn’t get his equipment calibrated or who knows- but start with FSA and go...

Yesterday the neighbors shot 3- 2 1/2 year olds (family)-by far most movement I’ve seen all season. Hoping they are done now and I might finally get out- but looking like the 9th might be my first chance. If I don’t get out then, it will be late season first chance.

Congrats on a great deer. I wish I had one like that on my farm this year.

That’s one area that has been producing sneaky big deer for years. Montgomery/Cass/Taylor county- used to hunt it all and man there were giants every year.

I filmed and traveled for several years- it’s a nasty world. I almost completely walked away from hunting. Social Media has allowed a lot of bad apples with no repercussions. I have given most of it up and barely post anything buck related (I don’t have social media anymore) so this is really...

Saw a buck bedded down with a doe in a picked cornfield today way up here in northern Iowa.

I’ve heard you can boil them- I’ve heard that works for Cedars. Never tried it- I have chickens
