I have some acreage in SE Iowa(I grew up hunting in WI) and am new to the honey locust "problem". I have 50/50 timber and grassland. I have many(very many) small locust trees all over the grassland(cattle grazed the property for years before I purchased). The trees are under an inch in...

for those of you who use Pyrodex, is it a bad idea to use Pyrdoex pellets left over from last year? I thought I read somewhere to get new stuff year to year, but the hodgon site didn't tell me that. If I should get rid of it, is there a best/safe way to do so?

Just a follow up, I recieved my deer tags for the year last night. When the licenses printed out as a landowner, it says I can hunt shotgun 1 and 2. Also, for the antlerless only tags I secured for the special late season and for early/late muzzleloader, the person that put in the information...

trper - I didn't mean to say that I want more bucks(in fact I would only take one buck a year), I just want to be able to go early muzzleloader and then take my antlerless tags(3) during shotgun or late muzzleloader. From the regulations if you choose to get your buck early muzzleloader, the...

Anybody have an idea(when looking at this years Iowa Deer regulations) why someone who choses early muzzleloader statewide license cannot hunt shotgun 1 or 2? The regulations seem to force the early muzzleloader to buy a bow to fill the other tags? I was hoping to hunt early muzzleloader and...

I am having a hard time finding the seed in SE Iowa - I can't seem to find seed/feed mills or coops in the yellow pages so I am having a hard time getting hooked up with seed locally. Any ideas on where to find some in SE Iowa or even the Quad Cities? Or is it best to order seed on line at...

pharmer - just curious where you get your seeds from. I am a new landowner with similar interests in putting in food plots of various kinds. Mostly small food plots since I don't have the "real" equipment. When you refer to sunflowers, are you talking the "classic" tall full yellow sunflower...

I just bought my dream acreage in SE Iowa and thought I was alone in experiencing what you all have talked about. The local neighbor was offended that I put up no trespassing signs without his/her permission after I bought the land and last year other neighbors said the shotgun season was like...

A legal question to ask of you all: I am seeing alot of coyote activity in our area (screaming at night and chasing turkeys during the day) so I was going to go out in the woods with a rifle to try to get one or two. If I do this during shotgun or late muzzleloader, am I breaking the law by...

I head about this place as the only place nearby and was warned in the same manner...so I am not sure if sighting in a new gun while ducking for my life would be a good thing....

Howdy - I am looking for a shooting range to sight in a muzzleloader(new to the muzzleloader scene and relatively new to the Quad Cities). Are there shooting ranges between or in the Quad Cities and Mt. Pleasant? I can't seem to find one that has all the right stuff to sight in a rifle. I...

I was wondering if there was an organization that would help in planting food plots/crops to attract and hold whitetail? I have 100 acres that is about 50/50 timber/pasture and I would like to have some food(clover or whatever) planted on the pasture but I don't have the equipment. So far, no...
