Fishbonker,there are 2 types of pens (game breeders)controlled by the department of ag,(hunting preserves) controlled by the dnr.The one located by me is a hunting preserve!!!! The difference between the 2 is game breeders are tested often for disease,animals can be brought in and out.hunting...

I have one of these game farms 3 miles east of me,i often wonder why they dont have a double fence.This last case in missouri was in one of these pens. I know i have my own selfish reasons for not liking this bill,but it seems the dnr would be more ridgid with these game farms.Maybe they...

I am still wondering why the IBA supported this bill,i know its all about the future and the herd, but why did they not wait until it was introduced on the floor. If you remember last year it was a 50 page bill with the feeding baiting agenda hidden in the center,it had all sorts of amendments...

thanks Travis for taking the time to contact Bob,i have been to his seminars and read his books,he is a very down to earth management guy that does his research.this is what i was looking for,good hard facts!!!!!

since most all the does have been killed in southern iowa,the bucks have obviously turned to each other,i wonder if the dnr has considered what new diseases these behaviors will cause!!!!!!

Skip if your short on manpower i know some amish down there,they are not picky when it comes to how shed bucks taste,you will have to stop by and give them a ride though!

dbltree,i did make phone calls to volunteer help,offered to attend meetings,even thanked the fishbonker for his service. this thread was started by the IBA because i am a member just like you!!! a just stated that it would have been a waste of my time,talking about baiting feeding stuff for...

Fishbonker,just setting here on the computer checking out some kool trailcam pics,i am worried that next year at this time i will be on the dnr's most wanted list.

well said iowaqdm,dont worry about THA4, i think he resides in a more northern county, so he doesnt get to come out and play with the long range rifle bombers. just think 14 more days left should be a good shed buck harvest,big cold front moving in, doe population increasing has we speak.

wow, sure sounds like a lot of work for the dnr to me!!!!!

Fishbonker thankyou for your service, i just feel there are more important things then this enforcement issue.

Fishbonker, thank you for taking time out to respond! how will this free up a officers time-you will have to hire 2 more per county just to walk thru the timber looking for salt blocks in every 40 acre chunk. would be a good way for me to get at a big landowner guy i didnt like,just toss out...

well after a 2 hour long speech by dale garner at the iba board meeting on sunday,the board voted and supported him on (his) bill.i would think that the iowa dnr has enough work,sounds like they are trying to create some more? i just wonder if this is what the membership really wanted?anyway...

BLASTER,the three biggest sheds i checked out last year were found by feb 1st and i know for a fact that two of them made it thru and were bigger then the year before.the one that shed the earliest by jan will probably be the biggest dnr confiscated poached buck this year,he was not weak just a...

since i have entitlement issues,and wish i owned 3000 acres i will give you some hotspot, deer dispersment methods 1.buy grenade launcher shooting into block,deer should come out to road to shoot. 2.line up amish on upwind side, deer will leave block!!!!!! any more ideas please post

just made another visit to a different meat locker out of the 12 deer brought in, 5 shed bucks,so the shed buck season is working. now if we could just handle these so called hot spots any ideas??????

Dannyboy,now where talking.the average joe ground + state ground is now seeing the big effects of this late season.the guy who restricts access,bigger tracts,are the so called hotspots. we could give the road hunters 50bmgs and they still will not be able to help with these locations. this...

THA4 just to give you a little heads up in southern iowa,went to the meat locker out of 14 deer on the floor 3 shed bucks 4 button bucks rest does.one shed buck even had a bow tag on it with rifle shot to head.i thought about calling dnr,but then i thought its just a LOUSY SHED BUCK.i do not...

THA4 just wondering where you are located,i am located in the southern 2 tier county Rifle zone, 21 days of long range rifle bombing by most.if you are not in the southern 2 counties you are not seeing what i am seeing!!
