No reason to limit buck harvest to one in my opinion. Every year more and more people are practicing QDM. More people are planting food plots. Overall heath of the deer is improving except for the areas hit with EHD. Party hunting groups are decreasing in both the size of the group and the...

Clinton was president from 1992-2000, he was responsible for pushing and getting the Brady Bill and Assault Weapon Ban passed (1994). I would argue that economy did good despite Clinton because of the Dot-Com boom. The budget was balanced only during his last two years (1999/2000) and it had...

Agree with Ishi. Wait 8 hours ideally. If cover is decent it will go a couple hundred yards and bed. If it doesn’t die within a few hours. It will likely head for water. I would start tracking this afternoon when you have a 2-3 hours of day light left. Tracking in the dark with poor...

Thanks to the DOT mowing ditches in August we now have wild parsnip spread all across Iowa. I understand the need to mow but wish they would mow earlier (or spray the parsnip/thistle) in June and avoid waiting to mow for the first time in August when the seeds are mature and the plants have...

Kenda Bearclaw K299 are good tires for both snow and mud.

Sad deal. Sorry to hear about your co-workers grandson. Feel bad for all involved. Prayers for all those affected.

The DNR implemented late rifle season in Wayne and Appanoose this year due to finding it in SE Wayne county last year. How much do you want to bet that late rifle season returns to Decatur next year and increased antlerless permits are issued for Decatur as well. The DNR will want to knock...

Kids under 16 years old don’t have to be licensed and can participate in the hunt, flush birds or even shoot their own limits without being licensed as long as they are with a licensed adult. What county was your friend from? Obviously they would need a deer tag to shoot deer.

Go ahead and introduce yourself to the neighbors because that doesn’t hurt. I would mention that you bought it for hunting and what you drive for a vehicle. I would mention that if they see anyone else in there to please give you a call because no one else has permission. Give him your cell...

Looking great. You got a lot done this summer. Thanks for posting your projects, it was fun to see them take shape. Nice job on the video. I bet all that hard work will pay off with some nice bucks hitting the ground this Fall.

I agree with IowaBowHunter1983. Let Mother Nature run its course. As far a global warming goes, it think the “sheep” buying into the media’s global warming crap is par for the course. Try to remember from school that 300,000 years ago most of Iowa and upper third of Missouri were under a...

I’m in.

I’m just playing devils advocate to get people thinking and not trying to to start a fight either. My point is CWD is here and there is no stopping it. What have to worry about is the DNR killing off the herd. As to your point about adding genetics. I know in Texas some people high fence...

I wouldn’t bet on it. This may come down to private private property rights. Are captive deer property of the owners or the State? I’d say the owners, they are bought and sold just like livestock, insured by the owner, cared for by the owner, which I believe in the courts eyes would make...

You will normally not need heavy clothing in Idaho in mid September. You will likely be hunting in long sleeve t-shirt or light weight shirt most of the day. Might need light jacket in the morning but by 10 am you are usually down to a t-shirt. That is if you are moving to find elk. If you...

Ok. Then these “just fenced ranches” would essentially be just like the wild herd that doesn’t get tested or documented? So why would they need any special regulations? If they are hunting the a natural herd that just happens to be inside a high fence and not introducing new deer/genetics...

I bet it gets overturned at the US Supreme Court. Iowa and every other state that I know of rules them as livestock and basically are not under the control of the DNR as far as the breeding and raising is concerned. The hunting on game preserves is more of a gray area as far as who controls...

Maybe try some Bentonite Clay. Google search or YouTube it.

I would guess zone 5 and 9 would have the most public ground to hunt. Both would give an excellent opportunity at a 140+ class deer if you dedicate 10-14 days and get cool weather. I would say pick anytime in November. Zone 9 topography is much steeper but has some incredible deer. If you...

I wouldn't switch broadheads unless you went to another fixed blade like a Ramcat, Muzzy, or similar. If it is not broke don't fix it.
