I'll take a good hard freeze even if it kills the fall plots. We need to get these midges killed before ehd shows up in our area in my opinion.

I don't get to hunt or spend much time planting plots but I spend most of the day thinking about hunting and whitetail management.......Along with some football....ha ha. My family does a good job of keeping me updated about what's going on and it keeps me involved without being there. I will...

Anyone else notice the deer move off the fall mix plots the last week or so? Activity seems strong on any beans that are green and I am sure the acorns have something to do with it. Just trying to see if your seeing the same pattern we are or if our deer still haven't developed a taste for the...

When people start using the phrase "it will never" about some type of investment it's time to exit. Also letemgrow your statement about paying with cash makes price irrelevant doesn't make sense to me. Are you saying there is no alternative that you could Put the cash to use that will make you...

4.5 plus would be my guess. Can't see a real defined neck it doesnt look like. Looks to have a decent sway in his belly and I think his head features look older rather than younger. Hard to say but that's my guess.

I thought it would be neat to show off some pictures from your stands overlooking some of these food plots we all put in. I will start it off with some of our setups. Even with the bad drought I think we have our best plots yet. This is our 4 th year doing plots and thru trial and error we...

Well after spraying too much roundup on a soybean plot in mid July and completely wiping out the whole plot it looks like the mistake has been fixed. Gotta hand it to my hunting right hand man for taking all the right steps to getting lick creeks mix up and going. I have to be honest that I...

I meant 3 oz per gallon. The two plots I sprayed were probably just under 2 acres in total. I am thinking 1 3/4 gallons of round up was alot more than I was thinking

Made a rookie food plotters mistake last week. The only problem is I have been doing this for several years now and should have known better. Our beans have been hanging in there this year but between the lack of rain and deer browse they were really having a hard time growing. Of course this...

Called my father inlaw today because I was thinking about selling some corn for this fall with the nice spike in prices. He informed me that as of today he does not think my field will yield anything. I said so like 50-60 bushels an acre? His reply was "zero". This farm is in central Illinois...

Zero in northern Illinois. Seams from eastern Iowa all the way across northern illinois to northern indiana is where most of the rain keeps avoiding. Glad to see sw Iowa got some much needed rain. I had heard it was real bad out there

Anyone else getting concerned with how dry it's getting? The beans we received from PF this year had about a 2-5% germination rate and we just finished our replanting yesterday. The soil has some moisture a few inches down but if we don't get rain soon it's gonna get bad. What's everyone else...

Does anyone here have a snowblower they would recommend for a 4320 john Deere tractor? It's a 47 hp tractor and I would rather have a blower that mounts to the fel rather than On the 3 point. I have looked at a couple setups over the Internet but I was just wanting to see if anyone here had...

I personally like the way the Iowa DNR communicates with its sportsman. Us Illinois guys would take your leaders in a heartbeat. Over here our deer numbers have been decimated and the only thing they continue to talk about is the bad weather or standing corn as for the reason why we aren't...

Your right plenty of brown and down guys in the area. Still some people around that let the young ones walk though. We are hoping deer like this open people's minds to the idea of letting young deer walk even if the guy across the fence won't. Also helps if you have places around where deer...

I still remember the day I found this site. I was a freshmen at Iowa sitting in the Papa John Business building. I was supposed to be researching something for a group project but I had some good looking partners that seemed like they had everything under control. I typed "hunting whitetails...

My dad has a polaris sportsman 500 that has been a solid machine. Its a 1999 and it hasnt had any problems and I wouldnt say he has exactly taken great care of it. He uses it to plow the driveway(hard on the machine in my opinion) and drive around his land. I bought a 04 sportsman 500 and it...

Here's a bit of info I thought some of you guys in the bad drought areas might find useful this hunting season. DblTrees previous post made me think about it. On our property we have some sand hills that year after year produce corn that only gets about 4 ft tall at the most. The ears are...

I am no expert by no means but I would say that deer is old. 5 1/2 would be my guess.

Were about ready to order some oak trees for our property. Has anyone ever ordered trees from Iawisil Nursery? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks
