Do a google search, there is pretty much a website dedicated to hunting in every state, some of them have 2 or 3. Not much of a secret where the hotspots in Iowa are, just think the op was looking for other people’s opinions.

It’s not that dry at my farm In Monroe county, neighbor said we got 5 inches in July. I think the ehd is coming from All the flooding this spring drying and leaving plenty of mud for the midges. Wouldn’t think it would be that bad since there’s enough water around for the deer not to be...

Crossbows are legal in the state I live in, and the majority of people I know now use them. I asked a few of my buddies why they use them and was told by one that he spends all his time finding big bucks and he doesn’t want to take a chance with a vertical bow because killing the deer is the...

How many more deer are being tested than was before? Seems to me that If they’re testing a lot more deer than they were before than it’s likely to find it more often. And out of all the deer that have tested positive they still can’t tell anyone how many have actually died from it. Certainly not...

Where is your farm at? I know there’s some beat up areas but you make that place sound like it’s worse than public land in Pennsylvania or Michigan.

I’m married without kids, my wife and I got zero help financially,have no family with farms, paid off all of her school loans and were able to purchase a house and a Farm. I’ll tell you what we did do tho, both of us work 60-70 hours a week,drive crappy old cars without payments and save our...

He also said in the same post that he hasn’t found any dead deer, he just doesn’t have any bucks on cam so he’s assuming it’s ehd.

Put out a thousand pounds of corn and sit over after the sun sets. Works like a charm every time.;)

I must have an odd ball farm, last year almost every buck on my place 3 years or older made at least a 10-15 inch jump some of the young guys made 40-50 inch jumps. Now this year every buck I have over 5 is either the same size or got smaller, they also seem to be way behind on growth compared...

I don’t like when guys make a horrible shot and still celebrate like it’s a great thing knowing that the animals gonna suffer for the next 8 hours, and when guys miss they turn into 5 year old cry babies. Should be the opposite, I’m absolutely fine with a clean miss but get sick to my stomach if...

Southern Iowa was bone dry last summer and I didn’t hear of any severe ehd outbreaks, didn’t find any on my farm and neither did any of my neighbors. Hopefully the deer are building up a resistance. Hopefully you guys get some rain, sure sucks looking at the same aggravating forecast day after day.

I think it is that simple, we all knew the rules before we bought land. I think non resident tags make a bigger difference in quality than when gun season is. Look at Kansas, 1 buck limit for residents and no rifles during the rut and it still can’t hold a candle to Iowa , but it sure did when...

As a NR landowner I can’t for the life of me understand why other NR landowners would want more tags opened up. Most of us bought the land because of the quality of whitetails in Iowa and giving out more tags would destroy that. It’s like when people migrate from shit hole countries and then...

Can non residents join the IBA?

I don’t think anymore restrictions on guns will help at all, something is wrong with society today. Kids think they can choose their gender and are eating tide pods, maybe we should focus on what the hell is going on there first.

Randy’s hunting center in Michigan has a leopold cds scope specifically for that gun. No hold over , turret is for 100-300 yards and I believe it’s around $300.

Just an excuse to slaughter the deer herds to satisfy special interest such as insurance companies and farm bureau. Just my opinion but I can’t see any other explanation for killing all those deer if they know it stays in the soil and can be transmitted by birds.

He didn’t ask and I don’t think riding thru the farm spooked much for very long, just thought it was pretty bold to do that without asking permission first.

My neighbor killed a buck that crossed a few property lines. Found the deer and took his quad thru everyone’s farm to retrieve it, anyone know if that’s legal?

Funny as hell, best post I’ve seen in awhile.
