I'd lean towards acorn ridges, scrapes near field edges and hunt fields if the bucks are daylighting. It seemed like last year there was very little mature buck movement on my deep timber cams during shooting hours. Most importantly pivot and adjust and try to find fresh sign if you're not in...

Probably pass; never had much of a desire to hunt them. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I'll probably go out and try to put some does down. Similar to Ishi I've had good movement mornings till about 9am and movement from 5pm on in evenings. I don't hunt my rut spots in early season. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Wow, he's super cool. Crazy how different these bucks can be in their home range and habits. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Nice work! 23 minutes ain't even enough time to break out the snacks; I'm sure she didn't mind though! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Very cool! Lil guy is quite the hunter! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

My wife got me 2 of the $100 reveal cams for my birthday and I've been running them for a month and a half now. Hardly any false triggers on mine during that timeframe. I'm actually impressed with the sensitivity to get deer out to 20+ yds and not pick up moving brush. As others have said...

Great post Skip. There seems to be an unrealistic expectation in the hunting community that you're gonna be able to kill a mature buck every year if you're a good hunter. Some guys string together a good number in a row, but on a long term scale it's a tall order to maintain. I used to get very...

How many trail cams you guys running? Also, how many per acreage are adequate to cover the spot well? I currently have 8 operational and I struggle to cover ground as well as I want; hard to bump up the numbers when it seems like one dies or gets stolen every year. Between public and private I...

Really any day in late October- mid November where there is a significant cold front moving through would be money. If I had to pick I'd go, overnight low in the 30's, daytime high in the 50's, North wind at 7-10 mph on November 7th. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Dan's is one of the first whitetail podcasts I listened to. Nice work Skip, I think you got your point across well. This NR landowner situation reminds me of liberals leaving liberal states for conservative ones and then voting for the same stuff that ruined their old states. Iowa is great...

I assume that somewhere between 30-50 percent of 200 inchers never make it to social media, even fewer make it to the books or shows like the classic. I assume with the growing popularity of the bow hunting league and quest type competitions that we'll be seeing more deer than previously shared...

Yikes! Injuries before bow season are the worst. Glad you're recovering! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

The lack of workers right now is insane. Things I notice about our newer workers that is problematic. 1. Only want to work M-F, 8-4. 2. Don't want to get dirty. 3. Don't want to be pushed outside their comfort zone. 4. Lack of initiative. 5. Entitled. Now this is broad strokes and there are...

I'd say if you're accurate with it, confident with it and comfortable with it in a hunting situation then go with it. Who cares if anyone else uses one, as long as you can operate it when the shot is on the line. I had target panic very bad one year and I wasn't going to swap releases cuz it...

Don't some rangefinders account for angle and others just read straight line yardage? That will make a small, but noticeable difference. I've had several rangefinders in the $100-150 range over the years and they were both poor at being consistent and picking up the target I was trying to shoot...

I'm in. Think I actually have a deer or two I wanna kill this year. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

https://www.legis.iowa.gov/publications/search/document?fq=id:1291400&q=rifle I think this is the bill in question. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Wording in the legislation is kinda vague. I pulled this from the page. Looks like minimum bullet diameter is .223, which is insane. Why they word it like they do is beyond me. "A rifle -1-with a barrel length of at least sixteen inches and firing centerfire ammunition propelling an...

Most native Iowans don't have a buck that big. Very nice! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
