i agree this is about population control,i dont like them eating my crops any more then the next guy.but does this late shed buck season have to be 21 days long it trumps all others other then bow season. deer is a deer, the sky is falling,even the dnr puts the big buck first.if i called about...

elkhunter is correct.talking about job creation and reductions,in 1997 the number of field officers was at 82 that number has now diminished to the present low of 64.up at desmoines in the central office they gained at least 8 positions 1 licensing supervisor 1 training coordinator 1...

senator Black has been the protector of the trust fund (which is your license money)he was instrumental in getting the fish and wildlife trust fund constitutionally protected,i think he is a little bent!!!!!it is my understanding that these protected trust fund dollars are being utilized by the...

we all know that the director loepold and deputy director Boddy hired Bob Garrison has the chief of the dnr.what gets me is the guy is retired from the state pulling down a big pension and has a nursing degree he has no background in wildlife or hunting or fishing and now he is double...

Tom Litchfield is a deer gooroo and his respected by most of the guys in the field that i talk to,he is also one of the better dnr speakers.in his findings the late rifle season for the bottom two counties is really working good for overall doe harvests.alot of these counties are harvesting 30%...

you are right elkhunter the dnr will not make any proposals until after the season setting meeting scheduled for the 8th of feb.i just stated that the head bio Tom Litchfeild proposed jan 11 to the 31 to all the dnr officers he is getting ready for the meeting on the 8th, i was wrong he only...

I read a little article Tom Litchfield wrote last week about the late anterless season,he stated most bucks do not lose there horns until after jan 31,and if they did they were more then likely 1 to 3 year olds.i have all ready heard of 2 different world class horns hitting the ground,picked up...

it will be interesting to see what the dnr does when the harvest report and the fly surveys are done,it seems like in some areas its working.the problem is once the goal is reached,you can not stop shooting does or we will end up with to many deer again.i would rather have an expanding herd then...

Bowmaker i no what you mean by the numbers i live just west of you across the highway.on your side of the highway the numbers seem very low on this side we seem to have plenty.its hard to keep everybody happy one guy will not kill one deer on a bigger chunk, then the next guy wants every deer...

Saskguy,timing is huge,just think it doesnt end until jan 31,now that is silly.i have talked to legislatures,dnr,god,neighbors,anybody who would listen,try a early doe season, you tried every thing else.nobody wants to shoot a doe,when they might have that big buck behind them!a early doe season...

I remember when this season was first started they said we will just try it.Then they said we are just trying to get the population close to what it was in 94.i agree the rifle is the best weapon for population control,but is it in the hands of the masses.i talked to 2 different meat lockers in...

the button bucks are easily spotted this time of year smooth coat no buttons shoot away. i am at 23 no button bucks. glass look for slick heads and shoot,that is why i like the bow up close and personal.

the late doe season was brought in by the dnr to bring the deer numbers down!it is a great management tool in the right hands, the problem is that only about ten percent of the rifle community,use it properly.examples sit in shooting house identify shed bucks and button bucks and kill at extreme...

My brother lives in Michigan & he built 8 of the standard outdoor wood burners (like the Woodmaster) & now he's a dealer for a few different ones. he's installed 2 of them out here (in Iowa) & they really work well. The ones he sells now are gasification ones (they burn about 1/2 the amount of...

why follow the grain market or worry about having a fire in your house,when you could have an outdoor wood boiler.these babies are the way to go,the burner is installed away from the house,the water is heated then brought to the house and distributed through heat exchangers or in floor heat also...
