    Bow usage during Iowa Shotgun seasons

    Im ok with it, especially if its on private ground. I would like to see private landowners have more control over hunting on their own land. Blaze orange should be worn anytime gun hunters are in the field, as I wear it even when i'm Squirrel Hunting. I don't think that shotguns make a season...

    deer numbers down

    Saturday I was draging 2 of my deer out of the woods, when I passed 14 other people that were going in to group hunt this public land. I'm just thankful I got there before they did. Yes, I fill my tags every year, but I butcher and eat every deer I shoot. I don't shoot them just to donate to...

    deer numbers down

    I agree, hunting success rate is not the only metric I use as to estimating the size of the deer herd in the areas I hunt.

    What do you do?

    On a side note, If you fatally wound a deer but are unable to find it, I think you should consider your tag filled! and yes, I practice what I preach!

    Record setting farm ground

    $10,000 an acre around here too, and by getting land that zoned Agricultural you save bookoo bucks on taxes versus it being zoned Residential.

    another question.

    I have neighbors that are out to get me, so I keep all my tags on the foot of the doe, and keep those in a big bucket. For the one and only buck Ive ever shot. The tag is still on the rack hanging on the wall! Its a european hillbilly mount so nothing fancy!

    Southern Iowa Rifle Season

    I use to hunt late season antlerless in my own county. Plenty of deer where I hunt on private land, but they closed the season, so now I go down south. For most gun hunters, the season is 1 or 2 weeks long. If you want to get a muzzy you can extend that by 3 more weeks. Working a 9-5 job its...

    Trail cam photos of coyotes killing adult buck

    Amazing. Im wondering if this being caught on camera was not so unusual, could the buck have thought the camera flash might scare the coyote's off?

    Thanksgiving Doe Season question...

    I was out Squirrel hunting all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I heard gun shots far away several times. Nothing like when shotgun season is around. I saw plenty of deer while I was out. I should have gotten a tag but I dont like butchering deer when its this warm. One advantage to shooting...
