Yeah, I can see the old high fence from my farm but they only ever had whitetail to my knowledge.

Hearing a Sika deer was hit around Eddyville by a car. Anyone hear the same?

Great buck...congrats!

Just got down and came to work. Pretty mild, a couple does not being bothered and my pet six pointer came to see me at daylight like always. Had a possible target buck work a scrape about 80 yards from me. I forgot my binos but he was solid for sure. Pretty slow morning on our farm all in all...

I bought one last month from gunrnr, best hunting investment in years! Game changer for my aging knees...

MW is interesting. One of the teams gained permission on a neighbors farm and I thought it might be for the greater good because they would be quality hunters. In reality, it's all about swatting what ever you can to lay down video and then take some trick pictures to make a 145 look like a...

I believe most studies are skewed by politics, that said I often wonder if cats kill because they are hungry or because that's just what they do? IMO, most predators kill because that's what they are programmed to do. I believe the notion that they only kill when they are hungry is a bit naive...

We are financing as we speak. I will let you know what the current rate is soon...

Same here. I did the same with ABATE of IA as well.

Used to never be a question for me but I have been on the fence lately.

How many of you guys have done an interseed via frost with clover? I have stand we did in August and we got lucky with a few rains but it's not great at the moment. It is a bit spotty. I thought I had heard that interseeding clover can be a hit or miss but never done it myself...

This will ruffle feathers but this is as big a threat as any...

Interesting you mention that. Nov 12 always seemed to be the key day for me in S Iowa but I have seen a shift as well. I wonder if it has to do with an old matriarch doe I had a buddy take out about 3 years ago. Like most, she got to be really cranky and a PIA so he took her out during...

What are your thoughts on backing off weight as we get older? At 52 years old I am looking to back down to 60 pounds next year from 70 to prevent any shoulder damage. Is it better to buy a bow an actual 60 pound bow or just crank down a 70?

I'm not so sure. The deer herd was down in our area from the 2002 - 2005 peak. It was well in hand in our area but like everything else, unqualified legislators try to make snap decisions based on incomplete data and lobbying $$.

Spot on! This is playing out big time in many parts of Iowa. Can't wait until these people find out Iowa isn't that great.

The only thing more gratifying than starting your own business is buying your own dirt IMO. Good luck on your new venture. As far as the BB'ers retiring, I'm going to miss them. Their good work ethic and attention to detail is sure missed. I was raised by boomers so the traditional stuff...

Good luck with the trustee route, that is a complete joke in Iowa. It should be an easy fix but Iowa has horrible fence laws. Good luck.

Absolutely! I also wonder if we will see a shift in compensation mentality. Perhaps part of it will be linked to attendance.

And people are leaving Pella, long term people. Yet their HR/ leadership will be in the front of the line bashing people for not wanting to work. They are just one little part of a bigger problem. We can stick our heads in the sand and use anti-employee/ union rhetoric all we want, but this...
