We have a few acres that butts up against some public land which doesn't have very easy access for hunting purposes. When we got the property we involved the district forester who made us a habitat improvement plan. Essentially he pointed out the invasive species to get after and even in what...

In a blind using regular ear muffs is easy enough. But from a tree what do you like to use for hearing protection? I wear a stocking hat and don't think muffs would be very convenient. Thanks

Maybe it is just me on mobile device but forum / thread navigation is horrible. No easy way to go from bottom of thread back to forum. Either need to scroll to top and click the link hiding in the pic or use the menu to start over? Maybe I am missing something... Also the colors scheme is awful...

I have been struggling with a clover plot the last few years. My soil is silt, loam, and clay - not the greatest. In the past I have seen that pelletized lime seems to really have helped. I can't talk myself into fertilizing it at all. My plot gets partial sun and some places more sun than...

Anybody have any thoughts on the likelihood that Iowa will restrict muzzleloaders to black powder and not permit smokeless?

Appears I got blood in the switch of a lighted nock. I rinsed it with water but next shot it didn't go off. I have soaked it with hydrogen peroxide and vinegar. The switch is functional now but still not rid of all the blood. Anybody have a better idea on what to use to get it cleaned out better?

Anybody tried any battery operated security cameras that write to memory card as a trail cam alternative? Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

Looking for thoughts on a lightweight 4-5 arrow quiver that has dual grippers that easily attached and detaches from the bow as I like taking it off when in the blind. Shoot a HHA slider style sight so I don't want one that sticks out too far from the bow. Looking at low cost options. Kind of...

With the popularity of elevated blinds for deer hunting I was curious if anybody turkeys hunts out of them? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Thoughts on if anybody uses the Drury deer cast app? People who do are you paying subscriber's or just using the free version? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Appears I might have a little pokeweed growing in one spot. Is this stuff desired at all for anything or if it best to kill it? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

If you could describe your ideal stand setup on paper what would it be? Field edge or in timber? Ridge top, valley, or in between? Looking up hill or down? Stand aimed at what direction? NESW? Shooting lane to what o'clock direction at what yardage? Looking where deer come from or going towards...

Been thinking about getting a box blind to entice the kids into hunting or going out now and then. Don't have much gear like 4 wheeler and trailer. Probably need it delivered. Where would anybody recommend getting one from? Direct from redneck or another source? Near cedar rapids. Thanks Sent...

Not quite sure what to make of this except it sure looks suspicious. Looks fresh. Looks like he was spined and dropped without a struggle. Guessing a 3.5 possibly. Sent from my moto x4 using Tapatalk

What are your thoughts on the best ladder stands to bowhunt out of? Something safe that won't break the bank. Flip up seat to get closer to the tree would be nice. Also a decent platform would be good. Seems that is what is lacking on so many of them. Sent from my moto x4 using Tapatalk

Trying to get cover going over septic drainage field. Sedge was there before septic. Planted clover and have been mowing for weed control. Knocked back the grass with Clethodim. That is hard to find... Thoughts on best control for the sedge? Guessing I don't want it. Mow and sedgehammer? Will...

So I have an acreage between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. I have about 2 acres on top on a ridge. Some of it is house yard. I have some grass with a little bit of clover in the yard. The yard is thin. I am planning on overseeding Dutch White Clover yet this fall (instead of grass seed) in...

Working on some timber cleanup. Forester walked the property with us. Indicated it isn't invasive and to leave it. Wondering what thoughts are of this in the timber? Good for anything? Critter's like it for anything? Keep it or cut it??? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking for opinions on a decent (not super expensive) scope for a 450 bushmaster. Probably shoot paper at longer ranges than actual deer. Have 3-9x40 on muzzleloader. Was thinking about bumping up to a 4-12 for this gun. Was thinking the Vortex Diamondback would be a good scope for the...

So with all the talk of people not liking the Hornady SST muzzleloader bullets that got me curious. Are people finding the same issues with the SST shotgun slugs? Also does anybody shoot the Hornady XTP bullets and have opinions on them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
