avidhunter--You have to look past the headlines. He said he would sign it if it hit his desk. He was also putting political pressure on members of both houses NOT to let that happen. I didn't get that from a republican website either. I got that from Howard Dean's website when he thought...

I buy a Nebraska hunting license every year in addition to my Iowa hunting license because I like to hunt dove. I was driving through Carrol (sp?) yesterday and got in a discussion with an avid deer hunter. We talked about dove hunting and he told me that Iowa's dove population would not...

Maybe we can get McCain to show up for one of the gun shows at the Des Moines fairgrounds....oh....wait....he doesn't think we should have those because they are a "loophole" where responsible gun owners can go and privately engage in the trading of firearms without big brother government...

I appreciate the info. I'm in a customer-service-oriented line of work. I've been to two bow-shops. Both great places with great facilities, accessories, bows, equipment, indoor ranges etc..... I picked the one that I am going to patronize based on the customer service. However, he doesn't...

I'm looking for a dedicated archery shop that is a PSE dealer. I'm just wondering if anyone here buys their equipment/gear from Southern Archery in Spencer.

I appreciate it. I was in a hurry and was looking through the regs at Scheels too fast and must have missed it. One of the Scheel's employees was absolutely certain that it was going to happen this week on Friday. That's why I asked because I had heard conflicting dates. Thanks again.

I appreciate the info. The guys at Scheels told me this week or next week. I checked tonight but they're not on sale yet.

I've asked a lot of people and I've checked several vendors and nobody knows when deer tags go on sale. I can't find it on the DNR site. Does anyone know when the tags go on sale?

Yep, it's called counting chickens before eggs are hatched but I figured it would be wise in the rare chance that I arrow something that is "wall worthy". Pardon me if I sound crass. Silly mood tonight. From our collective experience with taxidermists, is there anyone in the Sioux City...

I appreciate the advice. I like to go to Scheels for things that don't need "expert touches" that I can't provide. I go to a dedicated bow shop for everything else.

The guy across the street at Scheels tells me that "tuning a broadhead" is voodoo. "Just screw em on and shoot em and they'll go where you aim if you are doing your part". He says that I should just pick a quality broadhead (of course at his recommendation) and screw it in and shoot it. I...

Ok....bowhunting for the first time this year. I've been shooting the you-know-what out of my PSE Predator using Beman ICS carbon arrows. I need to start selecting broadheads so I can have my dealer place some orders and am trying to decide what to test out. I've already purchased Muzzy...

I WISH I could take the whole month off but Uncle Sam won't be having it I'm going to request the first five days of November and then save 2 days for the family during the Christmas holidays. It's nice being single w/no kids. Too bad I can only take 7 days every quarter

I have to request my Oct-Dec vacation days this week and I am trying to decide when I should hunt this year. This will be my fourth year hunting in Iowa. I've hunted two late shotgun seasons and one muzzleloader season so far and I am going to be using a bow this year. I'm trying to figure...

I've decided to keep using the Turbo Nock when I have my new Vapors made up. I was going to switch to vanes but the Turbo Nock has been working on my Beman ICS Hunter 340's.

I am shooting Beeman ICS Hunters and am about to give Blackhawk Vapors a whirl. I'm going to test Muzzy 100's, Montec (100 gr), and another mechanical (probably Rocky Mountain Snyper). How do you tune a broadhead to a carbon arrow? I have heard of people heating aluminum arrows and giving the...

Mr. Knight himself has published his opinion that Bore Butter will indeed do this to the inside of a barrel. This was based on a great deal of scientific research on his behalf. Unfortunately, that is something that I MUST do in order to get my bullets to seat in my T/C Omega. Here's an...

I just shot my bow for the first time at Siouxland Sports & Archery here in Sioux City, IA (formerly located at KD Station). I've frequented the other places and I'll have to say that Siouxland Sports is top notch. I'm not trying to do a shameless plug here but the gentleman that runs that...

That certainly appealed to the twisted side of my sense of humor....actually laughed out loud. Thanks for that

I don't come here a whole lot but have learned that the Iowa archery crowd is a great big group of incredible folks. The small businesses associated with the Iowa hunting sports have truly impressed me. Just when I thought I had seen it all, a small archery dealer in Cherokee, IA rose to the...
