I just put some cams out on Weds. and have a couple more to put out. I'll hopefully find out in a couple weeks what's still around.

I've only bought white clover. I didn't have any issues with it, but can't really compare it to anything else. The only other clover I've planted was from PF. I plan on trying more, but what I've noticed in the Marshalltown Theisen's at least is that they struggle to keep seed in the bins...

I agree with getting rid of cell cams. If a guy in a tree stand can get a picture sent to him, and now knows to get ready, or knows he needs to move to a stand down the hill crosses a line with me. I run a few cams, and check them every couple of weeks from July to January. I will switch cards...

Looked promising for awhile, but it all broke up and went around me. We've been watering the garden, and new trees daily for a couple weeks now.

Thanks, that's a plan that makes sense to me. I'm a complete novice to food plots, and this clover was my 1st attempt at growing anything for wildlife. It's going better than expected so far.

In general how often do clover plots need mowed? I planted a plot last spring, and I mowed it once, but then it became hot and dry and I left it alone. It came back great this spring and I sprayed it with cleth a couple weeks ago . I mowed it a couple days ago to knock back the broadleafs.

We had one that shed a normal 4 point side as a 2 yr old with the pedicle snapped in 1/2. As a 3 yr he was a heavy fork on that side, and he shed it with a chunk of skull attached. 4 yr old that side was a 14ish inch spike that had 1/2 a dozen points randomly coming off it. 5 yr old was just a...

Bushnell TRS-25 is a tube style, and what I use. I have this on a Remington 12 gauge 870 Tactical. I don't use this for hunting, but have had it for 5 years. I use this gun for work and it has spent the 5 years getting slammed around in a patrol car in temps from -20 to +100. I have probably put...

I'm planning on putting in a 1/4 acre or so of pumpkins. the wife and kids want to try growing them so it's a win/win if the deer start chewing on them after the girls take out what they want.

I finally saw my 1st shed buck on Tuesday night. I took my cams down at the beginning of the month so there's probably a few more around.

Depending on what county you're hunting, the county assessor's webpage usually has a link to an interactive site that has aerial maps where you can click on individual parcels to see owner info. The mostly widely used website I see is beacon.schneidercorp.com. The majority of counties in iowa...

I've put out a couple alfalfa bales, and some corn. Plus the tops of all the trees I took down this fall/winter. All the deer look pretty good that have been hanging around. We have a doe that's missing a front leg that is really struggling getting around. I decided to put the bales out...

The previous owner of my pond used North Star. I think it was stocked in spring of 2017. The bluegills were around 8-9 inches last summer, and the bass were 18, and pushing 2.5-3lbs. Both species have spawned successfully, and it looks like we have 3 year classes in the pond. I need to call them...

I have every mature buck on cam carrying both sides. Have a couple 1/2 rack forkies. Nature varies wildly, and we all seem to waste a lot time trying to figure it out. In my case it could be as simple as there has been 0 pressure on them since shotgun season. They bed and feed as they please...

Anyone ever get cranes on a cam before? I was surprised when I downloaded these.

The pics with the rub tree are from 22 acres that's comprised of 8 acres of timber, 2 acres of clover, a 1.5 acre pond, and the rest is old pasture ground. Most of these deer we have pics from velvet all the way through to today, and a couple have multiple years of pics. They generally bed in...
