Had some decent bucks to hunt this year, but nothing that made me say Wow. So decided to dedicate the rest of my gun season to hunting an ugly cull buck. For sure the ugliest buck I'd ever shot, he has the age, the body. He just didn't have the genetics. He had the same identical rack last...

I've had an opportunity to shoot this buck, but I elected to pass. Not sure how old he is. I don't think think he ll ever score high. He just keeps getting heavier and wider. The 2 pics are 1 year apart. Pic in the woods is last year. In the food is this year. He busts his rack up every...

Did some deer pushes on Saturday with disappointing results. So took my sister's boyfriend hunting on my sanctuary farm. Sat for 3 hours, when the deer started to pour out into the beans. With this young 2 year old 8 pointer. At first I wasn't going to let him shoot him, cause I really don't...

I have good late Season food sources on my farm. Accessing the spots isn't an issue getting in. But getting out is a real problem. There can be 30-40+ deer on the food after it gets dark. What do you guys find is the best way to get out so the deer do not associate my blinds with people and...

After price shopping for Commercial seed, Pioneer and Dekalbs were the most expensive by aways. If I was going to plant it for food plots, I would look else where. Albert Lea seed house on corn would be a consideration. Sometimes treated beans will come back to a dealer, and they can't send...

I was about to come on here and start a thread identical to this thread. I've talked to a well known taxidermist and he s 20-30 deer mounts behind the same time as last year.(Many reports of the deer just not being there) Also talked to some sanctuary owners(in this county the rec land is held...

Never have had anyone ask. Mostly because most people know I love to hunt. And that won't happen. There's only 1 fella I know in my life that doesn't have to ask. Ol Dad, that man has permission for life. A great deer hunter that only hunts 2 days a year. (When he see deer, he just sees a lot...

I would like to agree with the article above. But the last few tillable land sales have been just mind blowing. We ve had 19,000 for 149.88 17,500 for 79 acre washed out fixer upper. 22,500 for 36.5 mediocre farm at best. There are 3 more land sales out my front door in the next 4 weeks. It...

Recently just had a 87 CSR2 Farm sell. 149.88 acres. 146 tillable Almost all tillable. 19,000 per acre. Puke....... make that one work.

I thought things would slow down here and maybe have some no sales and rent would stabilize, and maybe dip. But from the land sales I've seen the last 6 weeks and rent I'm seeing. It hadn't happened yet. It's going to be awhile.

Last year was the my first year using reveals. First and only picture of this buck. I know he was around and on the farm because I seen him. But in front of the camera again, NOPE. Mature deer definitely know something is up. I personally just like to know what is around and what survived...

The last time land prices got ultra high for the times, guys were buying land for 2800-3500, in the mid 80s. Then land values fell by 2/3s. It took 20 years for land to recover back to those levels. I'm not saying the 80s will reoccur but Land now is in the 15-20,000 plus range. And to me it...

3.75 cash corn 9.50 cash beans 7-8% interest rates 17,500/acre land auction results........ and it needs 1100/acre worth of work to make the farm good, Tile etc etc etc. Something is currently broken. I'm not sure what it is, But Im currently convinced land prices do not have a thing to do with...

It is very rapidly becoming a wealthy man's game. My only question is where is 2023 can you buy land for 6300? Not any tillable Tract around here. The gravel and sand brings 9,000+ and the good stuff can bring 15-20k.

A friend of mine is a salesman that works at a John Deere dealership. Was chatting with him and he said new equipment sales have come to a screeching halt, used machinery has slowed down a lot. Even parts have slowed down. Commodity markets have been on the slide that is no secret, with interest...

Is there somewhere online that I can find recent land sales private and public. There's a farm coming to market, and I've got a pretty good idea what stuff was bringing 6-12 months ago. Just curious if things have changed much recently.

Chickasaw County IA. Technically him and his brother bought it together. Not his first farm, but this is will be his first from scratch wildlife project farm.

Land auction day came. 98 acres total 75 tillable 25CSR2 The rest was an oak and walnut planting 25 year old planting. Farm brought 4400/acre.(Which I think was a fair price, not outlandish but not cheap cheap) for a rough farm.(Needs a lot of work to become a wild life paradise) A friend...
