I received a gift certificate for my birthday on Sunday. I figured I'd use it so I went to Scheel's on Monday and put a new PSE Predator on layaway. I'm new to the whole bowhunting scene and will be excited when I actually pick it up next month. It's just a basic one-cam with a quiver, sights...

This will be my second turkey hunt. Can't remember what I used to years ago but I got ahold of a Carlson's "Pattern Plus" ported .660" choke tube that is rated for Hevi-Shot. I'll be using 3" #5's this year. We'll see what happens.

Okay, it's 2:30am and I just got home from work and will be back at work in 4 1/2 hours. I flipped a coin and KPM turned out to be the one that came up. Please contact me via the following email address: idsman75@peoplepc.com Right now I predict that I will be out of town most of the day on...

Know where Toys R Us is across from the mall on Sergeant Road? Well, I work at the Army Recruiting Office in that same parking lot. I'll be at work all week but I leave the office for appointments all the time. If it would be easier for some folks who work in Sioux City to pick them up then...

Well, I screwed up. I was way out of my area for work and passed through a small town and stopped at the local gun store to check things out. I bought a box of Remington Hevi-Shot and mistakenly purchased a box of the 3 1/2" shells. If you live in Sioux City and would like a box of Remington...

If all goes as planned, I'll be stationed at Fort Benning, GA by July 2004. I'd like to get some hog hunting done while I'm down there. I was wondering. Would a rifle chambered in .243 Win be adequate? I was thinking that it would be. Heck. The world record elk was taken with a .243. How...

One of my co-workers spotted one on the way back to Sioux City from Dennison this week.

hunt-m-up Can you email me? I don't know much about the two shops. Both seemed to treat me right and have always made great long conversation while I've been browsing and debating. I also caught wind that the owner of one of the shops is a registered member here so I don't want to get into...

I know that storing a firearm in a case is highly discouraged due to the potential for condensation and lack of air circulation. Would this apply to bows as well? I thought about getting an SKB Dry-Tech soft case for bow storage. If it's anything like my SKB Dry Tech shotgun case, it has the...

I'm not as internet-savvy as I used to be. Is there a free download available for a screensaver program that you can use to manually enter photographs in order to create a custom slide-show-type screensaver? idsman75@peoplepc.com

Also, if you like to eat it's so hard to resist some of the good ol' fashioned "steak and potatoes" places around here. No frills. Just good food at a reasonable price. I've had steak on the east cost and I don't miss the prices of dining out.

Welcome. I was born in Iowa but was raised in Minneapolis. All of my family roots are in northwest Iowa. When work took me back to Iowa 19 months ago I fell in love with the state all over again. You'll get hooked quick if you like to hunt and enjoy good folk who do the same.

I'm in the process of selecting my first bow. Hoyt seems to offer a good cross between quality and price. Right now I'm looking at a few different Hoyt models but I seem somewhat fixed on an MT Sport. Here's the quandry that I'm in. There are two dealers in town and they are the only ones...

Okay, I'm active in another forum whose name I won't mention here. A question was raised there about the Savage smokeless muzzleloader. I swear I saw a thread here on Iowa Whitetail about it. Does anyone have any opinion with regards to this gun? As I recall the opinions voiced were somewhat...

General--I hope all goes well for you during your training. Hopefully you'll be done with Benning before the summer heat REALLY kicks in. I remembered the thread about scent suppression and the bit about the chemical suit being cheaper than a commercial scent suppressing suit. I have a good...

I just read a review of the Omega in this months issue of Petersen's Hunting magazine which just arrived in the mailbox. The author said that the rifle remained solid after over 100 shots. However, I heard that T/C has been absolutely SCRAMBLING to keep up with demand on this rifle and a...

Oh this is great! I just happened to lock in my vacation time for the next three months and the first three days of my vacation happen to fall in place with the Iowa Deer Classic! Being a newbie here I'll have to get an Iowa Whitetail t-shirt and wear it in hopes to bump into a few more...

ruddbow--I've seen em cheaper than $499 but I thought it was a heck of a deal since nobody has advertised the one I found with the camo finish on the barrel. I'm guessing it's a limited run and I'm getting excited since I should be picking it up in mid-February.
