Hey Nobber - I have plenty of places to hunt in Iowa should I decide to come, but thank you for the invite - consider it an open invitaion to come down and duck hunt. Our duck season has been pretty sorry for the past 3 years, but judging from what my buddy in Council Bluffs tells me, we...

My "type"??? Can you read or do you just write? I have always tried to be as objective and truthful as possible. If I offended you with anything I said, then I am sorry. This is certainly not a "pissing match to me". I thought it was dialogue in which we were all at freedom to express...

Silvertip - At the risk of being fair I will disregard pretty much everything you said with the exception of your side note. You can bet I will have a place to hunt as long as I desire to come there and hunt. The people that own or have access to those lands that allow me to hunt there have...

Yes pharmer it certainly is a free country and isn't it great? The best matter of fact! To clarify - Live where you like? To be honest if I lived where I liked, I would be in Iowa. But to live in Iowa I would leave behind a great job a beautiful wife and 2 of the most beautiful girls...

!!!!!!!!!! NEWS FLASH !!!!!!!!!! Been happening for many, many years and it happens everywhere - some of you in Iowa are just now realizing it. I hate that it is rearing it's ugly head to some of you, but it was bound to happen. Recreational land is worth more here in MS then ag land -...

I can only echo what most have already said - very sorry it happened. Some things seem irreplaceable and that may be the case - photos, keepsakes, taxidermy - but the important thing is you and your family can ALWAYS make more!!!

Hey Guys - I appreciate all the great comments and especially appreciate Bryce being chosen as the award winner. Means alot to as I know the quality of animals and pictures you receive daily up there in the land of the giants. I talked to Bryce's Dad today and were not going to tell he him won...

great read oldbuck - thanks for sharing.

I was just wondering after reading all these posts - what are you guys talking about when you refer to "upgrading"? Is this something offered through Matthews or just through dealers? And is it a legitimate "swap" meaning you trade your outback in for a new switchback at a cost of $100.00...

PYBucks - The only reason you did'nt draw a NR Turkey tag had to be becuase you applied for a Zone 4 tag. If you put in for another Zone you should have drawn as none of them met their quotas. According to last year's numbers the only Zone in Iowa to fill it's quota was Zone 4 (which actually...

I understand Elk. Makes you wonder sometimes dosen't it? We would'nt wanna have it to tough on the violators - that might give the ACLU or Rainbow Coalition a good reason move into Iowa. I can hear them now "What do you mean this guy can't hunt anymore just because he shot 23 pheasants and...

So if I uderstand this correctly - increasing the NR hunting license by $20 and then decreasing the NR turkey license by $20. I was'nt a math major in college, but according to my math the NR will save a whopping $0.00 on a turkey tag in 2006. But that's ok, there's going to be an additional...

I tried to learn to run one and best I could tell, had I taken it to the field with me I'd probably been covered up with field mice and rats and then eventually attacked by hawks, coyotes and bobcats - all I could get the damn thing to do was make some goshawful squeaking noise. I have had no...

Love those big Canada buisers. thanks for posting those great pics Sask.

I can see your point NW. I just know it's worked in other states, not sure how they got around all the things you've mentioned and maybe they did'nt. I know Missouri has one of the finest State Agencies in the US (many other states try to emulate them) and one of the reasons they are so well...

NW - I know the sales tax increase sounds like alot, but in the other states I've seen it work out so well in it was a 1/8th of 1% sales tax increase. Eevryone would take on the tax burden and to be quite honest with you, most people would never even realize it. As far as the NR pheasant...

Me and a buddy of mine from the Council Bluffs area and a couple buddies from ND are going to do the same thing. Look forward to seeing how you guys do and I'll let you know how we do.

bushman - I can understand your feelings. You might want to look at going to a neighboring state to try your hand at the turkeys. I know ND has some great reservation hunting and it's very cheap. $88.00 for (2) gobblers. I have done it and it was great hunting and gorgeous country. Me and a...

Sounds like a no win situation for everyone involoved with one exception - the Iowa DNR. More out of state licneses will be issued - bad news for you residents; more will be issued but at a higher cost to NR's - bad news for NR's. "This is about revenue generation so that we have the ability...
