    If Iowa is evil.....

    Did I miss something? Where in the original post or after was it mentioned that non resident land ownership would be limited? The way I'd understand this is that non residents can buy and lease all the ground they want. They cannot however be guaranteed a buck license every year which should...

    public land encounters

    Wow guys these are hilarious!!! I don't have any stories as great as these but I'll share a couple. I was scouting the night before opening day of duck season a few years back and pulled into the parking lot of the local marsh to glass for ducks. I see a boat with a duck blind on it at the far...

    still have average deer numbers?

    As far as EHD we had 5 carcasses last year and our neighbor had over 20. So far it seems we faired well this year but as mentioned won't know for sure till we start shed hunting. A guy we duck hunt with who has marsh/bottom ground found 20 dead deer this year again. Lots of deer still in the...

    still have average deer numbers?

    Western Davis Co. still has good numbers but seems to be down, probably entirely from EHD and not hunting pressure. Seen some nice mature bucks and an explosion of young bucks. Mature doe sightings were way down though. I took one doe this year but next year I may pass on does entirely...

    Question about lodging near 3 mile lake

    You could try to get in at the Holiday Motel in Creston. It's been a few years since I've gone down there but it's a relatively inexpensive motel if you don't need anything fancy and last time I knew had a shed with running water for guests to clean fish in. I prefer the big cabin or one of...

    Weed control for a fall plot?

    My father and I have turnip, clover, alfalfa and a corn/soybean plot every year. This year we decided to try our first brassica plot. We just let it go till the end of June, mowed it down and sprayed it with generic roundup. Worked the ground and planted August 1st. Even with very little...

    End result of a bad shot

    Well my friend rc10pt posted my situation while I was hunting and thought I'd wrap it up as it spurred on some passionate debate. It was Halloween night 3 hours into a 10 day hunt in southern Iowa. It had been raining to this point but now the sun had peaked out and it was a nice sunset. A doe...

    Does Scent-A-Way really work?

    I drowned everything I hunt with in scent killer gold this year, scent free shower, mouth spray and deodorant. Sprayed down my truck and am wearing full UA scent control clothing. First doe 150 yds downwind stared in my direction for about 5 minutes, weazed at me about 6 times and ran off tail...

    field dressing gloves

    I hear that. If you want to stay clean more power to you. I think with all the deer, duck/goose, turkey, squirrel, pheasant and partridge blood that's made it into my system along with fish slime if disease was an issue I'd be long gone by now. Who knows maybe my day is coming though.

    200 inch Deer Poached

    I'm glad the DNR busted this guy as well as some others in that area recently. Appanoose Co. and the surrounding area has a lot of problems with poaching. I only wish there were steeper fines in place. This guy clearly knew what he was doing and with the value of a deer like that it may not...
