foliar worked great for me during the summer and honey and osage. you can now get crossbow without a license? Any idea where you can get your hands on that? I usually get mine from a coworker whose husband is a farmer and has a license...and I have to pay her a premium to get it...that stuff...

I have honey locust issues on my place, and I've experienced resprout when I first tried to kill them. Tordon RTU painted on the stump in the July-Sept timeframe worked, or treat the stump with diesel/crossbow in the winter months. It seemed tougher to kill them in the April-May timeframe for...

thanks guys, their isn't access to my back field(except ATV and small tractor or pickup) so I'll check with the local FD. I'm tempted to have a few buddy's come down and I'll mow small patches and test burn them. I hate to spend the money, but it seems like the best option before doing the...

I'm on the verge or working with PF to plant some native grasses(they are recommending CP25) at my place in SE Iowa. The PF rep is a busy guy and is just going to spray once or twice before drilling...but he'd like to see a burn done and he doesn't have the time. Does anyone know of a guy or an...

I had a terrible day and would like any of your guys suggestions. My property is 2+ hours from my so I'm not there to keep tabs on it. The clan to the east of me does drives and as in years past they put 1-3 guys on my east fenceline overlooking a field. I heard numerous gun shots from the east...

I agree that it is a shame, I'm all for reelecting Teddy if he was around for a third term

sorry to make this longer, but just got re-fired up about this cause I talked to the landowner and a guy who has access to hunt from the landowner. The "neighbor" in question as I call him was caught on my property a month ago by the guy west of me on an ATV with a muzzy(his son was ammo'd up...

I've been thinking of frost seeding some clover in a few spots, but read about innoculating(sp?) seed beforehand. The Coop up here sells seed that is not innoculated...is this a must? If so, how do you do it?

thanks guys. I looked over the 2004 regs and didn't see anything about shooting over a fenceline, but I would assume it is illegal to do so...do you agree? I have never met the landowner to the south, but was thinking before confronting the hunter, to just meet the landowner and ask that...

Just curious how you all would handle a situation. I'll leave out the background this particular "neighbor" has with me and two other neighbors to the west and north of me. This neighbor has land to the north of me, he now says he has access to the land to the south of me(he says he just got...

I agree with some of the observations. I drive weekends from the QC to Bonaparte and see very few deer and I don't see great numbers of deer when hunting(8-10 deer in a weekend hunt is pretty good), but around the QC(LeClaire) there are deer bunched up in small areas of timber with a buffet of...

I'm not a rut expert at all and was wondering how late in the season bucks shred trees? I have seen sign at my place where trees were shredded since the snow so it had to have happened the last week? Is shredding trees a full season behavior or usually reserved for the rut?

a coworker and myself both just bought a Hoyt Ultrasport for 305, and then with everything put on(release,peep/sight etc/arrows) it walked up to 500. Both of us are shooting accurate in our first attempts at 20 yds. Both of us are newbies to the sport so can't compare to the Matthews or other...

I just bought a cheap($70) BuckRidge 1.5x4.5x50 for my Knight Wolverine. I took a doe at 45 yds. I sighted in at 50 and 100, but I don't think I would take a shot more then 75 yds, I felt too inconsistent at 100 sighting in. I hunt in timber so over 75 yds probably isn't going to present itself...

I'm allowing a neighbor to plant a "horse hay" mix in my 20 or so acres of available pasture. Mix of locusts and weeds right now so it should improve things. But, I'd like to supplement some areas with an annual cover crop. what is egyptian wheat? Is it food or cover or both and is it an annual?

I found a 12 pt at my place over Thanksgiving with no obvious gun/arrow wound and the deer didn't appear gaunt. No sheds found thus far though.

similar thing happened to me, I was up in my stand and around 7:30 I see a pickup in the back field behind me with a wave of orange...10 minutes later WWIII broke out and deer were coming by my stand at 40 mph. The picked up and left by 8:30 or so figuring no deer will be coming from that...

sorry...bad linkage http://www.iowawhitetail.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=5097

found this guy dead on my property last Friday. Didn't see any obvious wounds, but he had been dead a week or so and was a bit too stinky to turn over. Would have been nice to see him this Saturday around 7:30 a.m. http://www.iowawhitetail.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=5097 Also saw this...

Re: Guy kills five hunters over a hunting dispute. how did Ron Artest get from Detroit to northern Wisconsin so fast??? Will make me think twice about confronting a trespasser in a few weekends.
