I may have misread a post under the legislation discussions but NR still get an antlerless permit when they draw a statewide tag in any season correct? Why don’t we push to eliminate the automatic antlerless tag given the current herd/population issue? I don’t have the numbers of NR antlerless...

So what I have been calling switch grass is actually Indian grass. Seems like more people suggest switch but now knowing more of what I have I like the Indian grass better. Very prolific, gets tall and burns good. From reading up on it seems like Indian might have more wildlife benefits when...

Maybe I am the only one that didn’t know this but with Tactacam Starter and Intermediate plans your photo count includes multi shot which is never sent to your phone but only stored on SD card. I had a cam blow up on leaves but stayed under my plan photo count on pictures sent to my phone...

Couple concerns. I have been out checking cows and fence and on the SXS on the roads and occasionally get a whiff of dead smell. A little more than normal but figured it was a random coon dead. Neighbor caught me and said he has two dead deer in his ponds. Can EHD start this early or when do...

Well I don’t see this thread again for this topic so just as well start it. Post up what you all are seeing for rut activity. Covered 120 miles of interstate today for work meeting and several dead deer especially bucks from the past few days so they are moving. Had pretty good hunts since...

This thread will start a debate that several of us have already had time and again but I have been thinking about this for awhile…. I started following the site somewhere in the late 2000s and didn’t become a registered user until 2014. In the early days here I would come to see what others...

Came across two separate groups of turkeys one had three mature hens, one of which had two poults. Second group had five hens and four Tom’s/Jake’s with no poults. The long beard of the group was strutting this morning. Another bad year for broods…..

Any truth to this? Harvested around Guthrie Center??

Seems like there is normally a thread about this every year and don’t see one started yet this year. I’m up a little early but will be headed out for first time this year in couple hours other than taking our son out for Iowa Youth earlier. What is everyone seeing?

So what is everyone’s opinion for 2022 antler growth? From what I have saw so far I’d say slightly below average. A few of the older age class deer that I have sheds to from last spring haven’t showed up yet which is typical because they show up after shedding velvet and they will tell me how...

I know they are not all born today but happened to see two fawns out nursing different does about three miles apart in hay fields this morning. Texted that to a friend and he found a bed with afterbirth in it this morning while working. Bred November 6,7,8.

I had been hoping that keeping it quiet would keep it away but my area is pretty dry and had a couple farmers say they found a few dead deer on the field edge along a river. Anyone else?

After the Fourth is typically when it seems like people can start to get the feel for the general antler growth for a given year and for specific bucks. So far from what I have randomly saw I am not impressed this year. Opinions??

Anyone have success with direct planting oak seedlings behind TSI or bedding area projects? I have an old stand of burr, red and black oaks with virtually no whites. Stand was logged years ago and only trash trees filled in where the oaks were logged out so I'm doing a TSI project to release the...

For those of you that have made wagon blinds from farm implement running gears will they blow over?? I made one for youth hunting next year with the twins but hope to take them out late season with my bow. The blind is a 7X10 barge wagon with 7 & 10 feet tall sides with single slant roof. This...
