Yes, I THINK it was buried up to the fletching so there's definitely two holes in him. Your question has been my question all morning... did I get it under the spine. And I can't confidently say either way. Logic tells me that if I hit above the spine without actually hitting spine, the arrow...

Have one for you guys.... I'm sick. My #1 came in at first light this morning. Legal light literally came on the clock while he was standing in bow range. Everything was going to go perfectly until some does started blowing and wouldn't stop. He got super nervous and started to turn to walk...

I've been going to Marlin Hoch and have been happy. He does good work and the turnaround is unmatched. Hoch Taxidermy just north of Melcher-Dallas.

Bumping this thread again. Big day today, fellas. If you haven't already, be sure to get to your polling place and VOTE! If you aren't registered, in Iowa you can still register on election day. Do not listen to any exit polling BS! If you crawl out of the treestand tonight and plan to vote...

Weather forecast from a deer hunting perspective looks like @$$ next week. At least I won't be missing a frosty, 25 degree, high pressure, perfect wind morning in the stand when I'm in the voting line to vote for DONALD J. TRUMP!!! DOWN BALLOT REPUBLICAN COMING RIGHT UP!

Comes down to just a few things that have already been touched on: - No gun season in November and well structured seasons as a whole but mostly having to do with no guns during the breeding season. - Limited Non-Resident hunting (sorry, not sorry) Those are the things you can control; similar...

I don't even trust them enough to do that. Too easy for corrupt people to say "Oopsies, gee we lost the early voting ballots. Bummer. Oh well!" I suppose fraud will find a way regardless but I guess I don't want to give anyone time to gameplan.

Yes, I meant more along the lines of probably having to stand in line at the polls and you can read all you want with the device in your pocket right up until you get your ballot. However, honestly you should have your ballot memorized front and back before you even get to the polls and know...

That's understandable but it's not too hard to find your ballot online and research ahead of time. And with a smart phone it's easy to look stuff up away from home too. In addition, I'm definitely not going to mail my ballot when the Postal Workers Union has endorsed Biden and the stories of...

I'll be crawling out of a southern Iowa treestand late morning Nov. 3 to make the trip back to Des Moines to cast a vote in person. I'll stand there all day and miss my evening hunt to cast my vote if I have to. You could give me a choice of shooting a 220" on Nov 3rd or going to vote and 1000...

I'm half the hunter a lot of you guys are but here are my bucks. Ignoring shotgun season deer because I don't feel they represent natural movements... 1 Early Season evening kill 3 Morning kills between Nov 19 and Nov 21 (Every year I feel more and more that this is my primetime, not early Nov...

The most involved members of Facebook groups (Bowhunters of Iowa, for example) are usually so full of crap you can smell them through the computer screen. Those pages are pure comedy. The topic doesn't matter. Everyone is an armchair deer expert on facebook and many of them have no track...

That's awesome! It's funny how a simple object can bring back so many memories with special people. My grandpa just passed away last month and I was given his old Mossberg 500. He shot lots of pheasants and deer with that old gun before he wasn't able to hunt anymore but it will be in the...

One thing that's been a game changer for me is thinking long and hard about my approach to stands. I'd rather hunt an 'okay' spot with 'great' entry and exit than hunt a 'great' spot with a 'poor' entry and exit. When I first started bow hunting, I sniffed out some pretty solid spots but I...

Polls and models don't matter. You have to vote. Have 5 friends that like to hunt and shoot? Get them to register and bring them with you to vote. If you don't vote, you are complicit in the left's gun control agenda. Like Dan Crenshaw says "The left is telling you how much they hate...

I'll say this in regards to the critique of President Trump... If Hillary Clinton was president right now and made the exact same decisions Trump as made, at the exact same time, the media would be PRAISING her. She would be championed as bold and courageous. She would be praised for her strong...

No kidding. I was in the Urbandale HyVee last Friday for normal groceries and I think I was the only person in there not buying TP. Even though I'm kinda one of the "city folk" now, I'm excited to head back to the family farm this weekend, stock up on some ground venison, hopefully find a few...

This one hit pretty hard for me this morning. Last spring I asked my 85 year old grandfather to go fishing with me. At that point we'd been fishing buddies for all 25 years of my life and for the first time in my life, he told me no. He didn't think he would be able to get down to the water...

I'd take one look at it and say "Eh, just a rootball" and keep walking.

And if they say otherwise, they're a liar lol.
