I'm not an expert on food plots, but the main reason I plant is to supplement their food sources. This only improves their nutrition, which improves the health of the herd. As far as farmers not fall tilling... It gives them a chance to get out into the field in their off-season. It would be...

Go and talk with the guy hunting the stand. I would go straight to the source. Technically, he's not doing anything illegal, so be careful how you approach him. BT

Sounds like good advice from TP. I would definitely start with a soil test, check Ph levels and what not. This will get you going on what to plant. Corn sounds like a good option, turnips would be nice as well. Like TP said, do not disturb the area. If you keep the area clear of all human...

What more could you ask for? An awesome Iowa Chop dinner, 1yr membership to QDMA and of course, spending an evening with me. On a more serious note, It will be a relaxed atmosphere with people eating and drinking, and most importantly, discussing whitetails. We are currently in the...

Don't sweat it! Like Ogz said, sometimes visually judging tooth wear is misleading. CA is a better judge of age. That's an extremely nice buck, first one or not.' Congrats on a beautiful buck! BT

Muddy, Just trying to make a dollar.... BT

Thanks for the info Larry, I'll be stopping by soon to pickup a copy. Grant woods seems to be fairly educated on QDM. LOL Thanks, BT

Thanks for the input guys/gals. I think we'll be seeing more of QDM in the VERY near future. BT

First Off, Congrats Larry Zach, the man on a QDM mission! Very impressive set of skinheads! Loess, You may not use a doe tag for the special late season unless your tag has the dates printed for this weekend. I bet if you went out to your sporting goods store, there might be a few more...

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I will go with straight up turnips next year as well. I was always under the impression that rape was more of a cool season forage? Apparently that was not the case in my situation. Glad to hear that someone had success with it. Thanks, BT

I was wondering how everyone's rape plots turned out this year? Mine was destroyed in late summer so I never got to see results. I'm just curious if how well it compares to soybeans/corn. Thanks, BT

Hey guys/gals, I was wondering if anyone had any input as to when/where the Central IA QDMA banquet should be held. I was thinking around the time of the classic, but obviously a week b4/after. If anyone has ideas, please feel free to let me know. I apologize for not being active in the site...

Member as well. Glad to see you finally joined Pharmer! Good to have you on board. BT

Thanks Guys/Gals, I didn't smile because I was still in shock from seeing the giant, and not having a tag for it. I didn't know what to think. It's a heck of a great story, regardless of shooting the buck or not. BT

Any updates, leads? What a shame. BT

I have no clue what she weighed. All I can tell you is that I've never had trouble dragging a doe before. She was tough enough with 2 of us. She was a giant. BT

Another doe last saturday. 4 more tags to fill. Good Luck to Everyone! BT

Quality Whitetails, the magazine had an article pertaining to this. If I remember correctly QDMer is right on the money. There are a lot of factors to look into though. Pressure, food sources, etc. I'll have to dig through my magz and find out what it said about this. Good Post. BT

Shredder, I only dream of owning one. That ranger was my boss's. He let's me break them in before they go out into the field. You remember breaking it in dont you? Hopefully I'll introduce the giant to my bow in the next few weeks. BT

I finished up the early muzzleloader season with a truly "Big Momma" I ended up shooting this doe at 8 yds out of a brushy fence row. It was a little close, but that's how I like it. I'd been hunting this area for an extremely large deer that I'd seen early summer. I went out 4 times and saw...
