Interesting week with the big thaw here in central IA. I've been glassing the deer most nights for the past 2-3 weeks. At the start, they were hitting the corn fields en masse but after about 5 inches of snow there wasn't a deer to be found in the fields. I actually suspected that they moved...

I leave mine (Knight original DISC) loaded for 2-3 days during early muzzle. After that I shoot and reload mainly out of paranoia. Only ever had one hang fire and I'm entirely sure it was due to a wet primer. Walked through some tall wet grass and my cloth possibles pouch got damp with primers...

Now I see why they had to put that artificial turf in last year...they smoked all the grass. Die hard Hawkeye fan here. Just had to say it anyway. :D

Numbers are down at the friendly confines. I have ceased all doe harvesting. They could walk up to my tree carrying a stew pot, cut up carrots and onions and jump in Bugs Bunny style and they aren't getting an arrow.

Way to go gentlemen. Great bucks.

Great footage, thanks for posting. I've been kinda slow to get pumped up this year but that vid got the juices going. :way:

Epic story and pic progression. One for the books. If he gets and arrow or dies of natural causes, it's a win/win for me as a reader. Good luck.

Yawn. I like to catch an occasional Midwest Whitetail in Iowa. Old Dan Fitzgerald vids are good b/c he whacked and stacked does like they were the trophy of a lifetime. Can't fake that emotion...either got it or don't.

Hard to gauge width but looks every bit of 160ish to me. :way:

10-4 on that.

See you all at the tailgate. I'll be the guy with the Iowa shirt and the camo hat walking sideways. :drink1:

I view the vote as the majority of taxpaying Iowans forcing the hacks that are in office to apply our money in a way that we see fit. An eventual tax increase is inevitable so rather than spending it all on a bunch of worthless entitlement programs that are counterproductive, they'll be forced...

Ken, What is your desire or thoughts on the ability of hunter, tracker and dog to cross a neighbor's fence in pursuit of a wounded deer as it relates to Iowa's current, and rather unique law that allows a hunter to pursue wounded game on another's property without a weapon?

Kinda late but hoping all is well with you Wayne. :way:

Good, cuz I doubt anybody really gives a damn.

Quite the story. Have to admit having been in a similar mode of stomach upset on occasion due to restless spirits. :drink1: Great bird.

I have the same deal in one of the chunks I hunt. We need to build ourselves some makeshift plank bridges for them to walk across. Then we're good either way. :D

Awesome story!! I had fun just reading that. The pic of the full strut gobbler could be a painting. You have more guts than me taking the time to get pics at that range. Congrats on one heckuva neat hunt and bird. :way:

Good stuff! Thanks for the vid.

That is interesting. Also kinda begs the question why wait 150+ years to decide this is the time to make a stand? Not saying it's wrong necessarily, just wondering.
