http://www.qdma.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Whitetail-Report-2011-low-res.pdf skim down towards the bottom where they talk about management. In a nutshell, passing younger bucks is the only thing for sure strategy that will improve your buck size. unless you're in controlled...

Not only did you misspell "benefit", but you compared UW to Iowa academically. Both of which made me laugh hysterically. http://www.usnews.com/education/articles/2010/03/15/athletic-conference-breakdown-2010-big-ten Just one link, I'm sure you can find more. Good thing Nebraska's coming to...

It could be more that I go to the University of Wisconsin and absolutely loathe the University of Iowa in every aspect, especially football, but since I'm a non-resident, it must be an insult to Iowa residents because I can't get a bow tag every year right?

So what you're saying is that it is not NR's per se, but outfitters. Why not regulate/license outfitters? Put restrictions on the amount of land outfitters can lease or restrict the actual number of outfitters or a combination of the two? I'm not saying I support that, I'm just throwing...

There isn't enough evidence to directly correlate declining taxidermy numbers with declining deer numbers. With this economy, who wants to pay $500-700 to have a deer mounted when you can DIY with a European mount for little or nothing?

There's 10 elk tops. You're telling me they're doing noticeably more damage than the THOUSANDS of racoon or HUNDREDS of deer? Have you actually watched these elk ever? thats what I thought.

These elk have summered on our farm for the last 3 or 4 years. CWD threat is bunk. Iowa already has CWD if they're ever going to get it, this is another excuse for the DNR to stick their nose where it doesn't belong. The DNR in Allamakee County doesn't have time to investigate poaching cases...

Not just December gun season, it's shotgun. Everyone thinks Buffalo County, WI is so great because of supposed "minerals" in the soil because it's in the Driftless Region. In reality, they have more or less the same genetics and nutrition as any other similar county along the Mississippi...

Drury's crew is the absolute worst offender and none of you will ever call them out. Sure, Eric Bothun moved to NE Iowa finally so the governor would have to stop giving him tags, but he's hunting Forest Ryan's old farm that got bought up by big $$ NRs. all these big money guys like...

Ditto. 6,000 non-residents is a drop in the bucket compared to resident hunters. Just speaking generally, i bet there's more small bucks killed by resident hunters during big drives during the gun seasons than any amount of little ones that get shot by non-residents. The only people that...

if the price goes up anymore, the only non-residents that would be able to afford to hunt iowa are those that would probably either buy land or lease up land to hunt in iowa. as an out of stater, i dont want to see the price go up anymore, the iowa dnr already nickel and dimes us enough with...

I got a cell pic of a huge typical shot outside Marquette, IA on our neighbor's farm, the buildings in the background all looked familiar so it could very well be true, the text said it scored 206", definitely looked to be over 190 from the picture.

this a non-issue I think for Iowa football, It's something pretty much every program has. yeah DJK's stuff is pretty serious but honestly, he won't even spend anytime in jail over his arrest. If it's players smoking pot at Iowa, that should be the least of Ferentz's worries. being around guys on...

I shot this buck on our farm in Allamakee County Saturday morning at 915am. I had roughly 20 deer come through the woods, I saw one was a mature buck and got ready for a shot. He gave me an 85 yard shot and he dropped on impact. He's a mainframe 5X4 with broken stickers on his right G-2 and off...

No, it's not a big 2,000 acre cemetery as you would have it. Especially the most recent 1,000 acre addition to it. Do you feel mounds on private land should be undisturbed? If you knew about mounds you'd know that most of them were not in fact burial mounds. I mean, what do I know about Effigy...

Most of the mounds in Effigy Mounds are concentrated in a very small area along the Mississippi. The majority of Effigy Mounds is the Yellow River bottoms and surrounding ridges. They want to create an "oak savanna" but that will never happen as they will never get any natural oak regeneration...

I was at the Cabela's in Prairie du Chien, WI a few weeks ago with a buddy who was going to buy a resident archery license in Wisconsin as a non-resident attending school in the state. The girl working the counter said we couldn't do that, even after pointing it out in the regulation book. Some...

One thing I will say as a word of warning to Iowa hunters: never trust anything your DNR says. Speaking from personal experience as a Wisconsin hunter, I can tell you without a question that the DNR has effectively ruined deer hunting in my county. By using their counts and "models", they...

ditto to everyone else. Anytime I've hit a deer with a M/L sabot it never opens up. I've shot deer with SST sabots from M/L's and shotguns and many times ive watched the impact, watched the deer run and collapse, but when i go to the impact point, theres little or no blood until i get right up...

Whether you guys are Republican or Democrat, a member of the IBA or Friends of Iowa, get out and vote today. You can complain all you want, but voting will make more of a difference. This is an important election in many ways, don't miss out on a chance to impact these elections!
