It is bullshat though that you can hunt a deer hard for months, with a bow, or muzzleloader, come close but not get him...or..pass on bucks that aren't mature time after time...and they get hit by a car..or worse...some jack off with a rifle thinks he's shooting a big doe about 300 yards away...

On Black Friday, I purchased, from Cabela's, there Elite Fleece bibs and Parka. It's quiet, but no super quiet. It is however warm. On New Year's morning, I was sitting in a tree in 5 degree temps, with just the bibs and parka, balacava, and Cabelas version of under armor. Stayed plenty warm...

So make sure not to go. There isn't a good science based reason for this sason to continue. In fact it was ridiculous to start with. If people wanted more does shot, sell a shotgun season after labor day, doe only. However, at this point..we don't need numbers reduced.

One is in the bill of rights...the other was dreamed up by a rich conglomeration known as Farm Bureau.

That stuff happens during shotgun and mayne occasionally muzzleloader. It's fair game then though, but hell my kid passes on small bucks at age 11. Doe season was brought about to reduce numbers...it's not needed and has had negative effects of killing mature bucks at long distance. It's farm...

I would be ok shortening muzzleloader, however, you can shoot either sex during muzzle. Shed season/ doe seaso. Is supposed to be doe only. Most rifle hunters down here are shooting over 150yards....not taking time to check for holes where bone used to be.

Spare us that bs. They could kill does with extra bow or shotgun tags. They could ask other hunters for deer..many good hunters donate deer.

Are people trolling, or do "hunters" exist who think this is a great season?

Worst season ever. If you can't kill a doe with a muzzleloader, bow, or shotgun, you flat out suck and shouldn't hunt. F farm bureau...quite frankly ....f ethanol.

+1 Usually you are shooting into other peoples property, usually without permission. Road hunters were a thing of the past, I thought.

Listen Holmes, I did get my big boy this year with a bow. I have already seen shed bucks this year. With numbers down and shed bucks already being shot, and the poster I replied to having dropped two shed bucks last year, I thought it a good reminder to be sure you aren't taking down a big...

This is the answer, and to answer Flugge, well, sometimes store bought meat suffices.

Hey kid...I hunt the same areas..deer numbers are down, and I have confirmed 2 shed bucks..with one getting killed...Please..for the love of God..don't do that retarded rifle season. By all means, if you are going to need meat...kill it with a muzzleloader..or at least within 50 yards..making...

Isn't the orange army the work of the devil?:drink2:

In SW Iowa are way down, from my observations. I got lucky during bow season, harvest a wide old buck, but only saw 3 other shooters. I also saw probably half the number of deer I normally see from my bow stand. Fast forward to yesterday. I was hunting from light til dark, stand hunting in...

I will be hunting all day tomorrow..sitting from 630 til 930...then walking straight into the wind..afternoon..walking til 300..then sitting over a cut cornfield....just hoping EHD, Blue Tongue, and the Orange Army didn't get my 2 remaining target bucks..

25.75 inches inside

if someone would post some pics for me, I'd appreciate it. So, last year I had trail cam pics of a nice wide 8, and made him my target buck. Unfortunately the only time I saw him was during the rut, and he was running out of the timber I hunt, following a doe. No trail cam pics or sightings...

If a guy with money has no where to hunt, he just displaces local hunters by leasing up land. True story. Page and Taylor county is infested with Wisky and Pennsylvanians, stacking local guys one on top of the other on the remaining properties.

I think most people in Iowa grow up being Hawkeye fans since it's the Hawkeye state, and since people tend to follow winning teams. Where do you buy "close"? Is there a rule that states you have to go to a school to root for that team? What about kids who don't go to college, or people who...
