I did some reasearch and landed on either Bear Creek or Barnes VOR-TX 170gr TSX. I went with the Barnes since I could buy them locally but we haven't shot a deer with them yet. This guy has tested a bunch of 350 Legend ammo, here's the Barnes test

Well, I let the Liberty rip yesterday so we'll see.

I've got some yellow nutsedge along with grasses so I'd like to use gly/Liberty to burn down before putting in a new clover plot. Plan is to spray this weekend and plant clover/chicory along with rye Labor Day weekend. I'm seeing conflicting information on Liberty plant back. Can anyone...

What I'd like to know is how Don's farm is able to hold and keep so many older age class bucks on such small acreage. He talks about having 3-4 high potential four year olds along with his older target and management bucks,. I would think the four years olds would seek out their own turf but...

Well that was a Grim read!!

Is it really that bad in the well known counties in Iowa? I figured not having the gun season during the rut would offset the high grading to a large extent. Hunters have become too effective if at least a few high potential bucks can't slip through the gauntlet even in Iowa.

Cub Cadet makes a ZT with a steering wheel that is supposed to good on hills. However, Cub Cadet quality appears to be suspect.

12 oz gly?

New farm with mid contract maintenance due this year on 4 acres of it, so my goal for this year is to remain in compliance. I like Skip's idea but the spraying has to be done by Sept 30. NRCS suggested mowing it so I'll probably do that and then spray either gly or Cleth.

Oddly, the NRCS doesn't provide much guidance but suggested Clethidem at the lowest rate for mid contract maintenance. A light rate of gly was the ticket for contracts in Missouri. What are you guys spraying in Iowa? Burning isn't an option for this year. Thanks

I slung some older seed into the yard at my hunting shack on the North MO/IA border that contained some forage collard seed. A few popped up and are now in their 3rd growing season. I've mowed them down a dozen times and they keep coming back which got me thinking about putting them in a...

I voted strongly opposed to all of it. IMO the only two things that would improve the quality of mature bucks would be moving the gun season back and limiting NR. Moving the gun season will never happen and I bought farms in MO rather than Iowa because I could hunt every year. Selfishly, I...

Interesting conversation, human nature at it's finest. We are all for others making sacrafices for the greater good, but boy does is suck when things hit home. DOGE uncovered $20 million for Sesame Street in Iraq. Those kids are going to feel like they lost a landowner tag.

I'm not sure. I only needed one bag and planted so I could rage on mares tale in that spot. Picked them up from MFA.

I agree, there is something about Enlist beans they don't like. We can get a good stand on a 1/2 acre plot and there were still beans avaiable 2 weeks ago.

A significant population increase would negate the necessity of any major changes to regulations. Easy say, hard do! The politicians won't help and the DNR can't at this point. Trigger restraint is the answer. The question is how do you educate the masses? Can a list of all the residents...

As counterintuitive as multiple buck tags sounds to buck quality, I agree it can help. Only 3 out of 10 bucks has the genetics to be above average. Now we have cell cams, box blinds, more effective weapons, extended season, standing grain plots, and of course EHD, etc. Everyone knows what...

I had a Kasco Versa drill with a large and small seed boxes that could be pulled by a UTV or run on a 3 point. I ran it with both and got good results.......when it rained. It metered large seeds well but was just ok with tiny seeds like brassica due to planting a little heavy. It function...

Episode 696 Zach Jacobi on the Working Class Bowhuner. The Amana statement was about 1 minute of and otherwise very long podcast so you'll have to listen through a lot of talk. If you are offended by crass language it will a rough listen!

I heard an relevant anecdote on podcast the other day. A guy that has hunted the Amana Colonies ground, which I believe is over 20,000 acres, said they made it one buck per hunter about 20 years ago. He said there used to be a number over 170 taken every season prior to one buck. He...
