You have one side that is looking out for their best interest and you have another side that is doing the same thing. The thing that I can take from this is that the state of Iowa made a decision that benefits its residents. That is exactly what a state level government should do and it always...

I have a blackberry through Verizon. Iowawhitetail before the format change worked great through my phone. Since the change I haven't quite figured everything out but I am sure it will be fine once I get it figured out. Internet speed through your phone varies from place to place but overall...

Marginal farmland and recreational land values have fallen since october. Going into october land in iowa across the board was up something like 21 percent. At the end of the year they revised the numbers and land values were up 16 percent year over year. High end farm ground has held its value...

If you guys want a great example of what FOI is trying to accomplish, just look at Illinois. What was once considered one of the greatest deer herds in America has become a joke because of money hungry politicians and the lack of restrictions of non-residents. The DNR task force recently came...

From the little research I have been doing on the web it looks like I will be spending anywhere from 16-26k for what I think I am looking for. I guess I was looking for answers to questions like is 4wd worth an extra 5k on a tractor? How useful are loaders? Many of these questions have already...

I am in the process of trying to buy a tractor to be used on our properties for food plot purposes. I would guess we will be planting around 10 acres of plots a year along with plenty of mowing. Does anyone have any recommendations on some things that I will really need to consider when making...

I just read an article from the IL DNR that said the old tale of animals abandoning their young after contact from a human is a myth. I don't know if this is the truth but that is what one of the biologist in this article said. Coming from the IL DNR doesn't exactly count as a credible source...

That is funny, I also came across that kid that LimbChicken used to have as his avatar, check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0wYXXv2uoY

Does anyone know a good place to get a replacement fan for the Pretty Boy. I had the great idea of putting my decoy's out in my yard to get the local turkeys to come in and forgot to put them away before a wind storm hit. Needless to say my Pretty boy fan is probably somewhere in the Atlantic...

good one bonker, and when are the Cub rants going to start this year?

I'm due to win something, count me in!

Just wondering if anyone is going to be at the Aiming for a Cure event this coming weekend. I am taking part in it for the second year. It was a great time last year and it is for a great cause so you can't beat that!

another good one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQy-FQtKoGo&NR=1

Cool story caleb thanks for sharing! The only thing I find hard to believe is that a statue of that size pinning down a mature buck. That buck could toss a couple hundred pounds around like it was nothing in my opinion. Anyways, still looks like a realistic story for the most part and an...

There is a story behind this buck and remember I do currently live in the great state of New Jersey so keep in mind that the deer out here aren't much bigger then the squirels in Iowa. So I meet this guy that, like me, is big into deer hunting. He happens to own some property right down the...

I guess all I can say is some people have to work for a living. While you guys are out shooting your guns and sitting in treestands, the only thing getting "shot" around here is my knee so I can play in the next game and the only sitting I get to do nowdays is in traffic. Plus, I am a firm...

brings up a good question. can you legally shoot a deer that you wounded during legal hours after legal shooting light has expired? i would guess the law says no but all laws dont follow common sense in my opinion.

I know this isn't exactly on the same line as what you guys are talking about but I just thought I would see what you guys thought about the 1031 exchange situation and its effect on land values. I have thought/known that over the last 5 years in Iowa and Illinois where I live that 1031 has had...

This is a buck that we became aware of last year around the 28th of October. We caught him on camera checking a scrape and from that point on he was a target buck. He was never seen by anyone in our hunting group and we were left wondering if he made it through the season. We have been...

When I was in college at Iowa I went and bought a real cheap, I believe $80, climber. I made the purchase right before the rut and thought it would be a good idea to climb up a tree and study/read while I was up there. The first day I did this on an all day sit it started to rain around 11 am...
