'm fine with the numbers i see. Just sick of hearing people piss and moan about it.

You make some good points but I disagree in that a harvest of "a doe or two" garaunteeing a net population reduction in a given area. There can be a light harvest and still see a population increase. Its not as if the only way for the population to grow is to not kill ANY deer.

I have wondered all season as people complain about deer numbers, seeing less deer, the antlerless seasons and reducing county quotas - why don't you just stop shooting does on your hunting land? I realize that many of you probably have stopped and probably arn't the ones complaining. It...

I don't think anyone needs to pay to shed hunt or mushroom hunt for that matter. BUT, tresspassing, thats a whole other deal. Fines need increased.

Do you guys honestly think that the state could or would ban you from planting and growing something (food plot, not pot) on your own land? Get a grip. Keep in mind, this is not a communist country. Earlier post was a joke I guess a couple of you didn't get. :drink1:

I'll be putting out my mineral & vitamin blocks this weekend to help boost the herd's immune system. :way:

Anyone use one of these this past season. What are your thoughts?

I respectfully disagree. I would not reccomend to anyone in any situation to hinge ironwood. If you are spending the time to go in and hinge it, take the extra few seconds and cut it all the way through and squirt it with tordon. Your end result will make a better timber for your pocket...

I wouldn't hinge ironwood. You will be better off in 5 years if you cut it and kill it with chemical. Hope for or plant something beneficial (basically anything but ironwood)to create the undergrowth that you want. If you hinge it you will end up with an ironwood "bush", which may be good cover...

You can't use a rifle.

Awesome post.

Winkster seems to be very honest and forthright with his thoughts and feelings about the hunt and hunting in general. I'm glad he is, makes his shows more enjoyable than others, and I hope he doesn't change. I mean, the dude really lets you in on whats going on with the hunt, the deer, the...

This summer I bought 2 Bushnell Trophy Cams for 179.99 a piece and 2 M80's for 119.99. I returned the Bushnells and now have 6 M80's. My opinion... About half of the night pics were blurry with each, none was better than the other. On trails I obviously got more blurry pics than on a plot...

It's amazing that there are still people who do not know the difference between "party hunting" and doing pushes.

Id go with full sneak.

Lots of good info on the DNR's site. This is an excerpt from the "Trends in Iowa Wildlife Populations and Harvest 2010" - Whitetail Chapter prepared by Tom Litchfield Outlook for 2011 After 8 years of increased doe harvest, hunters are seeing reduced deer numbers in most areas of the state...

Again, not arguing, just gonna throw out some thoughts here... Lets say its Aug. or Sept. and you check your camera that you have on a mineral block in a plastic tub. You get a picture of that buck then your next few pictures are the 160 10 and the 150 8 that you plan on chasing all fall and...

Yeah, you probably should worry about sup. feeding and minerals first because that is one thing that we CAN control. I realize that it is spread by flies, but the article that I just read about it also said that it can be transmitted oraly. Not trying to start a fight so chill. But...

You should dump an pile of corn and get a mineral block set out for him. He looks hungry and needs some vitamins. Seriously though, he looks sick. I hope to hell it's not something that will spread through the herd. This deer would be a good one to help the push for banning supplemental...
