What's their issue?

We could try an in season feeding ban as a start. It's fairly non controversial, good way to learn the process. I have a hard time seeing who would be strongly opposed

Thanks for the update, the maintenance on mulching machines can be brutal! I'd never buy a used one, they get beat.

Skip, any update on this? Are you still running the mulcher? Did you have success getting anything to grow through the mulch?

If the piece is right and you pay the price, I'd buy it. Trying to wait and time the market is useless. You'll just end up with nothing in the end.

I have a lot of boxelder, I wish i didn't. Boxelder bugs in the fall are miserable.

I get your point, it wouldn't be the end of the world to allow gun tags to be filled with a bow. On the other hand, us bowhunters are extremely blessed with a generous season in Iowa. Maybe just let sleeping dogs lie;).

I don't know about that. It's been years since I did any group hunting but when I did, we were buck only. We also wouldn't have dreamed of giving our tags up to anyone else. Shooting and tagging our own deer wasn't an issue at all. Guys with full tags would hunt coyotes or pheasants while...

I look at that as us bowhunters already get all the prime times to hunt. I think it's fair that the gun hunters don't have to share their season with us too.

I bet a lot of landowners are like me and can pretty much hunt when they want. Even the ones who can't have a much greater chance of hitting a good front when they have all the seasons available to hunt. Most of us use that landowner tag for a 2nd bow tag which eliminates the gun seasons. Now...

On your#4. I don't have an issue with it but how much impact will that have? I'm sure some abuse it to its max but none of the landowners I personally know are killing 3 bucks. I have never killed 3 and only killed 2 one time. Maybe I'm not normal though:p. Would the land owners 2nd tag still...

I'm guessing you wouldn't want to lose those 180,000 voters?

Paragraphs man.

I too want to see in season feeding go away. I haven't seen it become an issue yet but I keep hearing rumblings about "defensive baiting" to keep deer off other properties. That is not a road I want to see us go down.

Yes, I do feel that using drones for recovery is a big step in the wrong direction. I was and still am 100% in favor of dogs for deer recovery. Drones on the other hand have way too much potential for evil. I've watched a few of those drone deer recovery videos and they scare the crap out of...

That was the first thing I looked at when I heard about that deal!

Geeze, is that an ice shack?

I could see the merit in a study like this and i don't think it's a bad idea, however, I'm extremely wary of mixing drones and deer hunting in any way. I'm afraid it will become like every other technology that wasn't a big deal at first. Just like cell cams, it's not a big deal when it's...

Do any other states have a program like this?

I've been sitting over food with a muzzleloader all week and I've got nothing to show for it. I must be embarrassingly bad at this.:p
