Well as always my turkey season began during Iowa’s youth season. I got the invite to head down and hunt with Rob and his son, Dakota. Rob had a game plan and we went and sat in a blind over looking a beautiful green plot. Before long turkeys started gobbling and we had one fairly close. As we...

Like many great leaders our dear leader Skip has been compromised. He was our savior, our voice, but now he’s been bought out by the hunting industry. Now like many of you I was shocked, but the writing was on the wall. He just wanted to promote Iowa better than any hunting show ever could. The...

Anyone have any fun DIY turkey hunts they’ve done and recommend? Didn’t manage to get a Nebraska tag for the first time in years so open to options. Applying for Kansas tonight even though I’ve heard it’s terrible anymore. I’d rather go west and chase pretty birds over easterns but I’m not too...

North zone goose opener was on 9/20. I got out to the place we usually do pretty good and I was stoked that Tubbs would be on his first hunt since tearing his CCL last October. Unfortunately we didn’t kill any birds but Tubbs didn’t seem to mind. Central zone goose opener was this last weekend...

I got my first “white” coyote mounted by DK Custom Taxidermy. Now it would be once in a lifetime had I not caught another last year. I can’t wait to see it in person. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

July 26th at Hickory Grove Park’s Blue Heron Shelter in Colo, IA. Central state location. Free shelter, byob. Fishing and archery range available for people to fish or shoot. Comment if you’re planning to attend, maybe say what you’d like to bring so we don’t have 1000 potato salads. If it...

Got out for the first time Monday with the wife, Gideon, and friends. I was the only one to catch fish I caught two nice crappies and two bass. Gideon loved the bigger bass. Then we went to a pond today for a couple hours and hammered some crappies. Probably would have landed a bunch more...

My turkey season kicked off in Iowa on Friday. I met up with Rob and his son to try and get Dakota his first turkey. We came very close last year so the hopes were high. The birds didn’t gobble much on the roost and went pretty quiet once they flew down but we knew we were in the right area of...

Who is interested? What part of the year would work best? I’d think somewhere in the center of the state would be most fair for people. Any ideas on locations? Maybe we could make it an annual thing. Any suggestions welcome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My trapping season started Friday when I helped Matthewfox_45 set some of his line. Then I set 2 coyote traps and a few blind 220s in hopes of some otters. My first check yesterday resulted in some frozen traps and a muskrat. I reset the two coyote traps. Today I caught the one coyote I was...

Coming out of last fall I had some extremely high hopes for this year as I had some dandies survive. Wife and I welcomed our first kid into the world in February so I knew I probably wouldn’t have as much freedom as I have in the past but that didn’t bother me one bit. Well a few weeks after...

Good morning IWers. I’m late getting this thread going as life with a 6 month old keeps me pretty busy. Thank you everyone who participates in this contest every year and keeping it fun. I’ll try getting the teams up by Oct 1st. Last year’s winners don’t need to sign up. I have you down already...

Turkey season for me started during youth season I was able to take 3 youth hunters out and successfully get them each a bird, two of which were first birds. My hunting started opening weekend of Nebraska shotgun season. Chase and I were able to gain permission from the wives to go. His...

My wife and I welcomed our first child into the world on 2/24/24. It was quite an ordeal with a bunch of scary moments for mom and baby but everyone seems to be doing great now. Mom and dad might be lacking sleep but it’s definitely worth it. Gideon Lee Walker 8:11am 2-24-24 6lbs 8.4oz 19.88”...

I went into this season with my mind set on one buck. He disappeared last year during second season shotgun which isn’t uncommon for the area so I had hope. He usually showed up on the farm late October so I told myself it was him or nothing in October. October came and I passed some dandies in...

Who’s trapping this year? Figured I’d make a thread where we can all share pictures. I’ll post up pics when things get started on my end. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
