That's a fair assessment!

The Tulsi and RFK Jr addition is huge. In 2016 Trump ran on draining the swamp and then appointed Pompeo and Bolton to his staff...talk about swamp creatures. That and the spending is the only thing I disliked about his first term. I'm more optimistic if he can keep these two close and not push...

A NR draw is certainly not out of the question. Nebraska moved all NR tags to a draw this year, previously it had only been mule deer units and now it's all deer tags. Most of the whitetail tags did not require a point and some had leftover tags that were then OTC but now that they've capped NR...

Sure, if you think you could peel back not only the straight wall rifles but also the rifled barrels. Personally, I don't see a huge difference in capability between a 350 legend and a scoped 12ga with a sabot slug and rifled barrel. It's not the vast difference of an open sighted blackpowder...

My statement isn't anything novel but a reminder that we should consider ourselves lucky in Iowa to (1) not have a firearm season in Nov and (2) not have to deal with unlimited crossguns in archery seasons. Those two things alone are the only thing keeping Iowa from going down the tubes in 1-2...

Agreed. For a buck to have the 180+ genetic potential, they are going to be very impressive 3 year olds and with cell cams those bucks are all the more likely to get targeted. The bucks get high graded at a young age.

Wouldn't be far at all. It's my understanding that both those sheds and the 200 typical that was poached about 10 years back came from the south side of the lake.

I'll preface this that I agree with the insanity that Harris is even a candidate after her miserable 2020 primary and abysmal job as VP. It's shamefully anti-democratic that she was just crowned the D nominee. That being said if you look at polling objectively, so far she has won the "VP pick...

I tried that this year and I would agree, it doesn't have a lot of attraction. Thoughts on a way to increase attraction? Molasses maybe?

Email sent! Last day to comment.

I think they picked some of the most discussed issues. I've said it could've been structured differently to make it more effective, but what other topics would you have wanted to see? What don't you want "pushed"? Also this didn't go out to just ISC members, anyone who wanted to answer the poll...

Agreed. Even with temps in the 20s, a well designed plot is crazy effective and predictable. More so than a good rut funnel IMO

I think this poll got a lot of great discussion going. Just an idea for next time, but a ranked choice poll would create a better data set for this type of question on a survey. Something to consider for future polls. I'd also volunteer to word-craft the questions if ISC is interested, I did a...

Great...that's just what SW IA needs...

I signed up right around the deer classic, would signing up again now bump my membership 365 days I'm assuming?

My bet is it won't be until well after the election. It certainly won't happen in 2024 and we'd be lucky for the first half of 2025. I got an email from PF that there were meetings about it but that's far from having any details sured up, voted on, and in place.

They assume under reporting in their data and decision making about EHD. In September I talked to the CO when he came out to confirm an EHD deer in Appanoose about that. The numbers on that infographic are only the ones that an IDNR staff has confirmed, not the ones that were simply called in...

@whitetail_obsession that is spot on from start to finish. We were doomed when Nixon took us off the gold standard and nobody revolted.

In order of importance, in my opinion- -ensure the forest reserve stays intact/as is, plus increased incentivize habitat conservation practices -ensure crossbows for able-bodied stay out of the archery season forever -blackpowder only for early and late muzzy, no magnified scopes (iron sights...

No joke! My property taxes have gone through the roof...
