Southeast Iowa: Our area deer numbers antlerless/buck both down this year. Sightings/pictures/deer per hunt all less than last and prior years. I would say compared to the highs of 2005-2010 we have probably 30% of that population. Likely due to antlerless overharvest/fawn predation and EHD...

If anyone needs fence high or low I give these guys a strong recommendation. Did a great job on our project. Reasonable price compared to others/locals in Iowa. Quick. Quality is excellent. Easy to work with and address problems/concerns. Crew and equipment travels to the work. We had local...

Why rye over winter wheat?

nice looks like you guys found some fun!

Law states fence must be erected on border even if only 1 landowner desires. Does not matter if livestock or not. Right hand rule typically. You pay your half they pay other half. If they refuse turn over dispute to county fence trustee. if they still refuse to pay/build it, you can pay their...

I have plots, turnips on turnips 15 plus years now no issues if weather cooperates. Same with clover.

Sorry I forgot about this. I may be out towards Osk to pick up some taxidermy. If you still have them then I will take em. Thanks Bob

where located?

Agree possibly will happen. it does every year. But this was/is finally controlled and I guess other fires will need to be addressed in the future. Problem is policy is so much dictated by politics not management. Politics is so much harder to predict and more costly. I am really surprised this...

Alot of outfitters definitely benefitted big time from the doe tag/party hunt game. I,m glad its gone(unless they find another loophole). I'm sure nonresident landowners did too. Buying land and using a gray area in the law to skate by doesn't make the gray area an entitlement. It was a risk...

I got same response from Sen. Lofgren as well. I thought same thing, he did not give his position.

I dislike shed hunting in the heat almost as much as july/august stand prep. But I was out all 3 days this weekend.

Hi Stickbow here. Name is Bob. I think our farms are close. Wondering if you are interested in selling any of the fence/posts you are removing? Thanks Bob

I have WRP and can have % in plots based on total acres. Have to get approved first. May depend when enrolled.

Been away. Thanks for the ideas

I would think if they tagged(E/S tag) they could only continue to hunt with a weapon if they had another valid tag(doe) otherwise thats party hunting? They could participate/push without a weapon but to have a weapon my understanding is they need a valid tag. Kind of like turkey if you kill you...

My wish list: 1) Have the DNR manage the deer without political influence 2) eliminate party hunting 3)One buck a year / could live with landowner having a second buck tag 4)eliminate celebrity tags 5)end seasons 12/31 OTHERS: no food plots minerals or feeding no rifle crossbow only in gun...

My thoughts were small wire woven to try and keep coons out. Could coons still get in yours Daver? Would they climb fence? What type posts did you use? Problem is no easy way to drop wire for a couple openings on each side on a larger plot. i like the snow fence option. I wonder if coons would...

Currently we use 3 0r 4 strand rope electric fencing over last 15 years on our corn plots 2-10 acre in size with varied results. Nearer the timber more deer and coon damage away from timber they do well. Pound the coons pretty hard trapping. Weed pressure controlled with spraying. Has anyone...
