That shriek, makes my hair stand up on end. Pretty brutal ending for the cub. But Nature is unforgiving.

If I had that deer on cammera, I'd dedicate my season to that buck. Cool, unique, and a huge frame. Score is over rated.

Don't plan to hunt. I use to hunt hard all October long when I had free time after school.(Burning out my tree stands) Since I've gotten older, and busier with the farm. I m more selective about my sits, Where, When, How, etc etc. Hunting Smarter not Harder. Have shot bigger bucks since I've...

Shooting Hornady STS s ammunition out of a Burris scoped 450 bushmaster. Have shot probably 6 deer with the gun and it's like shooting a sledge hammer. I rarely have an exit would, Because I always shoot through the shoulder. And they don't go more than 30 yards.

Good quality farmland 85CSR+ doesn't come up for sale a lot here. The good stuff is in pretty strong hands.(and they won't sell, their lifers) The rec ground here gets sold to people from the city. For 4-5k/acre. I'm not in one of the primo NE Iowa counties, But still have some pretty good deer...

30. Count me in. Never have participated in this. So someone is going to have to explain this contest.

Normally 1 per farm in the best spot. A lot of my spots the deer funnel in as the season goes on. So summer cammeras do not really mean much. I would say November 1st to the late season is the best time for me to run cammeras.

Personally I prefer November 7th a 12 mph South-SouthWest wind 50 degrees, a drizzly day with a front approaching. As I have a make or break tree stand, that it takes these conditions to access it. But its on the edge of the best bedding area I have. If I can make it there, in the dark under...

I read this whole thread, Southern Iowa This, Southern Iowa that. 200 inch this, 200 inch that. I agree. Ya ll should stay in Southern Iowa. There's no big bucks in North Iowa. 200 inches is cool. All I care about is a big framed Mature buck. If you have to debate weither he s big or not. He s...

I think land has softened a little recently. A good recreational piece thats secluded. And has a good history is still going to bring good money. Several Low to Mid 70s CSRs unimproved(untiled) tillable tracts are still bringing right at 10k. Which I would say is down some. And then you have...

I was in the same situation last summer/fall. I bought a farm, that Is a mix of tillable and timber/cover. I approached the current farmer about buying 1.5 acres of standing beans. We did, Yield on the farm which was 55× price he sold them for. Which at the time was 12.50 dollars. Times 1.5...

Not a giant but a good buck. I believe I had 1 or 2 encounters with this buck last year. He should really have another year before making the hit list. 1 note about running cammeras so far this summer. There is a tremendous amount of 2 year old bucks, and a lot of future potential.

I prefer these pictures instead. Hit em pretty hard this winter. 50-60 dogs.

Skip you have message.

I listened to your whole podcast and watched your video on exodus. And I have some questions for you About real estate buying, selling. And making that viable. Long term. If we could get in touch through email that would be great.

It sure seems like in my part of North Iowa, The morels are late. Was out rock picking and seen a lone elm on the edge of field.......Needless to say the most morels I've found in 1 spot. Was kind of a Northerly facing small slope. I believe it was 35 or 36.

I Listened to the whole podcast. I agree with Skip 100%. If there is a will there is a way. I personally just bought (Last fall) my own farm mostly Tillable(My family farms) but has a combination of rec ground(I love to hunt) on the farm as well. (Private deal so got a pretty significant...

I'm failing to see the problem in this photo. It's their late winter food source. I know quite a lot of places where private land owners leave beans/Corn for the deer. And their places I'm sure look like this.

Hollow Timber River bottoms are bring 4-5k. Deep black Farmland is bringing 17-25k(Recent Sioux County land auction) And floody 55 CSR low land is being sold for 9-10k. Where do people draw the line???? I honestly think the real estate market is on the brink of collapse. I'd say within 1...

So the farm I bought has 25 acres of river bottom. The bottom is pretty hollow with very little under brush/ thick areas. In this river bottom the water rises fast and falls fast. The bottom Is full of huge mature maples. I'd really like to thicken it up for the deer. Should I go in and cut out...
