I feel like anything here we need to be proactive in addressing this with our DNR biologists and voicing these concerns. The EHD death reports that come out are a pretty small percentage of what is actually reported. I visit with multiple groups from all over the state and it's been very...
I've talked to handful of kids at school in last 2 days that said their groups hardly seen a deer over the weekend. Had a buddy tell me this morning his dads group in west central iowa area had over 20 guys in it and never saw a deer sat. Seems to be pretty consistent reports from multiple...
Saw a fraction of deer should see normally in my opinion. No EHD I'm aware of in the area. Group killed a few but it was slow going. Although sat I heard more shooting off in the distance than I've heard in years. Visited with others that said the same thing. Sunday was exact opposite, dead...
I have zero experience with the single bevel heads or with the super heavy arrow set ups. I've always shot between 425 and 450 grain arrows. I do like a little more FOC so I use brass inserts. I'll be honest I'm not one to really switch or experiment with stuff so I probably don't have much to...
That’s interesting. I will start paying attention to that as well. I was little disappointed last night I watched 3 deer come out in front of cam at separate times last night and fed in front of the camera. Should have had multiple pics but only received 3.
Quick update with legislation time coming quickly. First thank you to all that donated above and beyond to help support the legislative fight. An additional $4400 was paid to our lobbyist to increase his fee and cover his extra work load. Second thanks to all those that joined through...
Didn’t hunt yesterday because of kids bball but saw 2 bucks in wide open field with does on the way. I do know my cameras have gone dead quit last 2 days. Next to nothing today.
Sounds about identical to my situation. I feel the farm doesn't hold the deer like it should. Met with a forester, drew up a plan, and got approved for a cost share on timber stand improvement. Cutting will take place this winter. Same boat here some existing timber is a park. I made major...
Do to a 45 min drive, then getting dressed in the field, and not liking getting out of bed I tend to go into stand during that gray phase or slightly before. No lights. Every once in while I'll bump a deer but not a huge problem. I try to use ridges in the field and the terrain best I can. My...
