I’ve been dreading this post all summer. Nothing in south central Iowa. I haven’t heard of a single case down here yet. I’m sure we will have a few random areas as it seems like a yearly thing now a days. Fingers crossed we finish strong and get to a frost without any casualties. We are on...

Assuming it’s a skin mount? They always shrink, or at least all the skin mounts I’ve got on my wall did as well. Replicas are the way to go IMO. Last forever and will always be able to be touched up. Plus your releasing that trophy for someone else to catch some day.

4 oz/gal liberty 2 oz gal/ 2-4D 6# and an adjuvant . That’s on a 20gal/acre of water FYI if you’re spraying larger tracts at a time. Wait 10-14 days after spraying and you should be golden. Some of that waterhemp will be shriveling up before you leave the plot.

Where is your pasture located? Iowa? How long has the pasture been out of production? Has it been intensively managed for grazing? Or is it just old, rough ground that’s not been farmed? I would go with what others have said with spraying and mowing. I would avoid discing at all costs. Seems...

Nope I do not own any land yet. I’m a day late and dollar short to the 2500$ or less per acre Rec values. And my career entails working side by side with 100s of farmers and land owners across 3 states and 10s of 1000s of acres of land.

You’re not that important! You just air your dirty laundry. you should stick to selling your real estate. At least on that side of the fence you can get people to still believe in wizards and dragons and fairy tales. On this side of the fence we like to use factual information to prove our...

You’re digging yourself a bigger hole and sounding like even more of a fool. You better phone a friend and check on your sources.”, because yes Racoons are just as guilty for crop damage as deer. And yes I know about western iowa. I’m an iowa resident, remember? you became an expert on western...

I also work with farmers daily. Am in the field daily. See deer daily. Live in Iowa year round. We are not over populated by any means, your loess hills areas is not over populated either. Like stated before; racoons and turkeys do far more damage to the crop. Have you ever noticed a...

well aware daver. I’ve been a member here for over 10 years. And it never ceases to amaze me how many non residents get on an iowa forum and complain about iowa deer and Iowa residents as if we owe them something. If you love it here so much, do as so many others have done before them. Move...

But you didn’t read his entire post. Even though that non resident owns that lake front property, you’re still allowed to fish that lake. The outdoor opportunity is still there. It’s very easy for guys on the outside (non resident) to side with another non resident And yes iowa can most...

Who would have thought. Covid 2021. Someone can get on a hunting forum and be convinced to move to another state based off other people’s opinions on what counties are better for “deer hunting”

The rule of the wild. Toms gobble to round up his hens. Hens come to the gobble, that’s fact. When there’s no Toms to gobble, what do you recon the hens do? They go searching, and I guess I associate that with putting them at more risk. I’ve seen piles and piles of hens hit along I35 in the...

Im not sure on that. I haven’t seen the scientific information behind Missouri’s ideas. IMO I would say any time turkeys can have time to be turkeys and do turkey things; the better. So I think iowa doing something like that would be a step in the right direction. As far as it goes toward...

As others have already stated, Dr. Mike chamberlain; bird biologist from Georgia has done extensive, extensive research. Their findings are saying the dominant Tom is the breeder. One he’s been killed, it takes some time for the next bird to become Topdog. Guys who are reaping birds, are...

I’m going to be that guy. Iowa harvested turkeys are up significantly from years prior, if my memory stands corrected; it was the largest harvest ever recorded. More snd more people getting into the sport every year. More competition. More birds killed. Decoys, tactics, YouTube, etc. people...

Beautiful pups! Shouldn’t have an issue selling him.

Hopefully you were hunting yesterday. Quiet the scene down here. Looks like nothing stopping them as they flew over the house all night. It’s going to happen quick I’m afraid.
