Great idea Dave !!! That is probably exactly what I will do. My neighbor that has that ground that adjoins us on that side is a great guy and would probably agree to that plan. Plus it is pretty easy access thru his pasture to get equipment in there.

Dave. Our farm greatly exceeded my expectations. I am excited about the work ahead. Also excited about improving the habitat. I have a lot to learn, but I have some very knowledgeable hunters right here on Iowa Whitetails to learn from. I am glad you got to see our ground and I greatly...

Thank You for the info and well wishes. I have been researching that. I hope we are settled and residents in the proper time frame. If not I can still get a doe tag as a non resident landowner. It has to be used during one of the shotgun seasons but that is ok too. If that is the case I will...

Here is my first Iowa deer. 17 yards broadside. I was not planning on shooting a doe, but could not pass a slam dunk. It felt good to take a deer on our ground.

Thanks !! I enjoy reading your posts. Congratulations on your buck !!

If things work as planned my wife and I will be Iowa residents by next season. We are retiring and moving to our ground in Iowa.

Here is a recap of our DIY hunt on our farm in Southeast Iowa (Davis County). We only ended up tagging one nice doe, but it was one of the best deer hunts I have ever been on. Pretty much non stop action. If we simply wanted to kill deer. My hunting partner and I could have tagged out (1 buck...

We decided on Nov. 3 thru Nov. 10. We are leaving on the night of the 2nd and driving straight thru. We are going set up camp on my ground. We are going old school. We are camping in my 12x14 wall tent with a wood stove. We have a DIY hot water shower and a toilet so we will have all the...

Since I am an Iowa rookie..........What do y'all think about these camera sites. I didn't have long to scout last Sunday since I had a 12 hour drive back to Texas. I tried to find some travel corridors, some active scrapes and some trails leading from food to bedding areas. Some of the cams are...

Thanks guys. I appreciate the input.

We have a small farm in Davis county that we bought in 2009. I have never hunted it. I drew a tag this year along with my hunting partner. We are trying to decide when to hunt. I was up there this past weekend. My two awesome neighbors gave us permission to hunt their farms. I set out 4 cameras...

So sorry to hear this. I just heard of something very similar happening to two guys over in the Folsom area. Check this out. Go to post #85 and post #98. http://discussions.texasbowhunter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=662177&page=2

A good friend of mine is offering goose hunts in Lucas county. He is a great guy and has a lot of geese on his properties. If you are interested PM me for contact info.

That will be great !!! I have heard of that club. I would like to shoot there. My wife and I hope to have a small 3D range at our place.

When I get up there I will have a little bow shop at my place. You are welcome anytime.

Cool deal !! Are you over by Moulton ?

I have already been talking to Nuper at Numark. I am impressed with those guys. Thank You the info.

Yes sir !! I talked to Scott yesterday about the electric service. Planning to go overhead 250 ft in then underground to the building (about another 50 ft.).

Thank You !!

Thanks Dave !! I will PM you about some contractors contacts. I have talked to Southern Iowa Electric about electric service and Rathbun Regional Water about a meter. Getting a water meter set is pricey !!
