Wise man say: "Sometimes better to beg for forgiveness than to ask permission."

Didn't Bob Barker get sued by one of his does--I mean one of his female assistants--for certain predatory behavior?

Part of Stephens State Forest is in Lucas. So is part of the Rathbun area. The plan is to scout the first couple of days I'm there, but 1,700 miles is a little far for a separate scouting trip. I'll be as happy (and relieved) as a one-arm bartender at closing time on St. Patrick's day to...

Like Bowstring, the coating on my cables is a little chewed up in places, but they don't look to me like they're even close to needing replacing. Maybe if it was stored someplace where the cables had a lot of temperature stress, you might want to replace them. They sell replacement cables on...

I don't know the towns, but the counties are Warren, Marion, lower parts of Mahaska, Keokuk, and Washington, eastern halves of Clarke and Decatur, Northern parts of Wapello, Jefferson and Henry, and Lucas, Monroe, Appanoose, and Wayne counties.

Thanks! I ordered the Iowa Sportsman's Atlas, and I have downloaded all the great satellite maps of the WMA's. It looks like there are about 20 WMAs in Zone 5 and trouble is, they ALL look good to me. Just wondering what local hunters think of them. I've got about 12 days to hunt, so I can hunt...

I know in the California waterfowl forums I belong to, if you ask for recommendations for good blinds on public refuges you risk getting GPS coordinates for the porta-potty... But here goes anyway... Does anyone have any recommendations on public land for bow hunting in Zone 5? Any advice is...

I've got the viper, which is the same thing except the backpacker arm rests fold flat. I bought mine several years ago for about $225. I think the bullet is going for almost $300 now, so $125 sounds pretty good. I love mine. It's a quality stand, durable paint and padding. It makes a serious...

Thanks for the info! Appreciate it!

Can anyone recommend some stores in the Des Moines area that have a good selection of hunting gear, including big items, like treestands and steps? I know you lucky guys can get a lot of hunting stuff at Wal-Mart (closest thing our California Wal-Marts have is a yoga mat in that pink camo...

It's not exactly the Farmers Almanac, but Outdoor Life says Nov 15-30 for the rut this year in Iowa.

That poster is no joke. When I lived in San Jose (part of the "Silicon Valley" in California), my neighbor and I are in our yards doing yardwork and a possum runs along the fence between us and my neighbor's eyeballs bulge out and he yells "WHOA, BIG RAT!" I reply, "that's an opossum..." "A...

That's funny. I always check celebs' names right after I check my own. Jerry Martin...denied Johnny Morris...awarded (could be Bass Pro owner, don't know) Ralph & Vicki Cianciarulo...both denied Bill Jordan...denied (was denied last yr too, I remember checking) David Blanton...denied (but got a...

Zone 5 bow. This'll be my first whitetail hunt. Can't believe I'm gonna get to do what I've only seen in videos.

Hey there. My hunting partner and I got drawn for an Iowa bow tag. Third year applying. Jesse at JHO suggested I sign up for this site. I just started hunting five years ago, mostly waterfowl, some pigs. Never saw a deer in all my bow hunts out here in California, so I'm really excited to hunt...
