Well after 7 days of grinding it out sweating, getting soaked by rain and busting through thick brush, it all came together in the last couple hours of the hunt. It rained a decent amount 5 of our 7 days, had a full moon, and daytime heat, and hunters were Everywhere. Here is how it went down...

Where do you guys buy cereal rye? do most coops carry it as cover crop seed?

I don’t know if any of you guys are members or are familiar with Backcountry Hunters and Anglers but I thought I would throw this out there if anyone is interested. We started a Kansas chapter of BHA and have a couple of pint nights coming up. We haven’t released the details yet, but we will...

What in your opinion are the best things and or first things you guys would put time into once you have purchased a new property? What are some of the biggest mistakes you’ve made or wastes of money? Thought it would be interesting to hear responses from multiple experienced land owners.

Hey guys, does anyone know what the little woody shrub with red starchy berries is that grows all over in the timber? Im pretty good with plant ID generally but i’m struggling to ID this one. No, i’m not talking about honeysuckle. This is a 2-3 ft tall plant. The reason I ask is that I always...

Has anyone done a timber sale lately? just curious if timber prices are decent right now. We are considering purchasing a property and I don't think it has been logged in a long time. I know there are some really large walnuts on the property.

Does anyone here listen to the meateater podcast? If not you should check out episode 70 regarding CWD. I think I learned more about CWD from that podcast than all of the previous media I have read and watched.

Hate to see this getting pushed through. Pretty safe bet that Branstad will sign it. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/2017/04/03/straight-wall-cartridge-rifle-deer-hunting-iowa/99989680/

Not sure if anyone here keeps up on the issue of public land sales by the states and the push by some members of congress to transfer federal public land to the states, but this is a very serious issue facing anyone who enjoys the outdoors. If you're unfamiliar with the issue Randy Newberg has...

I finally decided to buy a lone wolf climber this year after dragging my feet for several years. I always just dreaded having to find a tree and hang a stand in the dark. That being said, I absolutely love it. Being mobile has completely changed the way I hunt. I just feel free now. I don't...

Rigged this tote up for treating my hunting clothes and boots. I know they sell totes like this, but this only cost me $60 so I figured it was worth a try.

This is actually from last summer, but appears to be a little muley buck. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't look like a whitetail to me. Probably not too many of these in Iowa!

Has anyone here ever been denied when purchasing a firearm? I was denied due to story county putting someone else's restraining order in my name. So I filed an appeal, had the record fixed, and had story county send a copy of the fixed record to the FBI. It has now been 5 months and I still...

Please take a moment to read about and sign this petition. We can't let this become a Republican vs Democrat issue. The Idea of transferring federal lands to the states has been gaining traction lately. Though this may sound like a good idea, the problem lies in the fact that states don't...

Does anyone know if nonresidents qualify to buy depredation tags? I can't find anything that says otherwise, but I haven't tried to purchase one since I became a nonresident. If they do qualify I could save a lot of money on my nonresident tag.

Just wanted to know what you guys would do in this situation. I have an opportunity to hunt a very big whitetail this fall. Would you hold out for this deer and pass on 150-170 inch deer or shoot the first mature buck that you have an opportunity to shoot? My inclination is to hold out for...

I've been hearing a lot about EHD/Blue tongue lately and it seems to be worse this year than most years. I read that Drurys have already found 13 dead deer on their property. I'm just curious/worried if anyone else is finding dead deer?
