Stud buck! Impressive farm to be passing on 170s...I know I couldn't at this point in my life!

I would wager 95-100% of hunters are fine with crossbows being legal "archery" tackle for those who cannot physically pull 40-50# compounds. The issue I (we) have is with able bodied people who are too lazy and/or do not prioritize actual archery proficiency, flooding the woods with crossbows...

Looks like someone is going to have a great shed season!

NO. I clicked on this just to see all the NOs. Thanks for not letting me down guys.

I don't hunting during gun 1 or 2 but had dinner with a buddy in west-central IA last night. His group that typically fills all their tags (15-20) only filled 9 this year between the two shotgun seasons. During archery I felt like the population in southcentral IA where I hunt was maybe just a...

I've had similar experiences with "how did that deer survive that" shots from the neighbors. It kind of takes away the old "I shot this deer because it was limping and certainly wouldn't have survived. I put it out of it's misery so now I'm a hero, please pat me on the back". I've always...

Sure they aren't broken off? I have multiple bucks running around right now with half racks that are snapped at/near the base.

These are spot on. I previously worked for a DNR before moving to IA. For almost a decade I saw how the politicians controlled the agency's decisions to the Nth degree. It was part of the reason I left that state and that job, and pretty disappointing to see it happening here too. Everyone wants...

+1 for CuddeLink. There's pros and cons to every cell cam brand but I like these for the cost and monthly rates.

Saturday evening was slow but Sunday morning and evening I had great encounters with a few 3 years olds and a 4+ buck I just wasn't ready to shoot at this point.

This is huge. Are either of these 501c3 ? I'm not sure about the legalities of mixing non-profits and lobbying but it might get businesses and individuals to donate more if they are able to write that off on their taxes.

I'd start with the landowner and then call the CO regardless. Even if your landowner doesn't want to press charges it will at least put that truck and driver on the COs radar.

I wouldn't be so sure... RFK was polling much better with right leaning independents than left leaning independents after his podcast tour. Cornell West will suck a lot of left leaning independent votes from Biden but I would bet good money RFK pulls more right leaning votes.

Amazing. Love the pics and congrats on some of the best wilgame meat there is!

Found one in Appanoose county, right off the bank of the creek. A very solid, maybe 145" buck. He was hard horned but had been there a few weeks judging by decomp. CO came out and made a report. Praying for a hard frost...

You will likely need another year of buying a point before you actually apply, especially if you want zone 5. Zone 4 had a 50/50 shot of drawing with 4 points and an application. Zero 4 point applications drew in zone 5 this year and I heard of many 5 point applications not drawing either...

I started joining in on deer hunting with my grandpa and uncle when I was 10, before that it was just small game and birds. I shot my first deer at 12 with them by my side. I think I started hunting by myself when I was 14. I don't have kids yet so I can't comment much on that, but I do cringe a...

Thats what happened in Nebraska- guys who were typically gun only hunters saw their opportunity to hunt the entire season (Sept 1-Dec 31) with a crossbow and their guns in November. I personally know a guy who killed a 190 with a crossbow at 87 yards last season... that ain't archery.

I'd love to get ahold of the asshat that did that. What a POS loser. Glad it just looks like a flesh wound.

Phenomenal. My cell phone sunset pictures never do them justice but that's just incredible right there!
