I'm in the market for some 3 point implements to use on food plots at my farm. I bought a 53 Ford Jubilee tractor (roughly 29hp), so want to keep things within that range. My question is this: Which implements should I look for? I have been seeing 2 bottom plows, Cultivators as well as Disc...

Looking for a trail cam that has a flash that people can not see. Had someone take one of my cams. Going to hide one really well but don’t want to donate a new one to the same A-hole. Is black flash invisible? I have IR cams now but they glow red. Easy to see in the dark.

I'm looking to find bags of bentonite for my pond. May have a leak and wanted to try this before bringing in equipment. Anyone know of or have experience with buying in Iowa? Shipping is pricey, so was hoping to find some half way local I could pick up. Only need about 200-300lbs. Thanks!

I really haven’t dropped deer of at a locker for some time. I shot a doe today (Sunday) during first season. Weaver Meats in Afton was closed. I called Milo locker and they were closed. Didn’t lockers used to be open extended hours during gun season? I thought I remembered Sunday...

Wondering what cams are out there that are "relatively cheap" that I could pick up that can replace my Moultries. I actually like my cams. They work, take decent pics, have been fairly reliable and have lasted 3+ years. Problem I have run into is that Microsoft changed something where...

Going to be putting a red dot on my turkey gun/slug gun. It's a Rem 870 12ga. I swap it out (chokes) for slugs or turkey loads. I currently have tru-glow sights (front and rear) and would like to move to a red dot. Any suggestions on sights? I see some are a flat "screen" and some are...

My son shot twice today and missed. We have 4 shells left for his 20g. I am looking online and they are no where to be found. Any thoughts on where I could find a box? Any places getting them in?

My 13 year old finally connected on his first deer ever. Really proud of him. 5 does filtered into my clover plot around 3:30 last Saturday and he made a great shot with his new 20g. Killed a big Tom turkey this past spring too. So much fun. Going back this coming weekend as we both have buck...

I know, strange name, but there is a solid reason. I had been in a stand twice before, but no luck. I had taken 1/2 day off last Friday to hunt, but the wind was out of the S/SE, which is terrible at my place. I ended up waiting to go until Saturday afternoon, when the wind shifted to being...

Anyone have good ways of getting snapping turtles out of a pond? My pond is brand new. Just stocked. Saw a big turtle in there today. Didn’t have a way of getting him. Any suggestions? Floats? Bank lines? What bait and setup? I’m sure this won’t end, but I’d like to get them...

My 13 year old finally got a great bird today. After making more noise than a one man band hauling in the blind, decoys, backpacks, gun and chairs, we finally got set up. Stake on the hen decoy broke and the local cows stopped to lick my jake decoy for quite a while. They finally lost...

I picked up a couple cherry trees to plant. Can I tube them, or should i just run cages around them like I do apple trees? Wasn't sure how they would do in tubes like my chestnuts/oaks/walnuts.

I"m really thankful today that I'm a hunter. I hit Fareway yesterday and all their burger and chicken was gone. I have a freezer full of venison, so I smiled and kept walking. Strange times we are in, and glad I'm able to provide for my family. Stay healthy my friends.

My brother sent me this link. Having hit a buck this year high, I started really researching anatomy and how my arrow entered and didn't kill (crappy shot by me). Not sure if this has been shared before, but it's pretty amazing and thought it could educate some. Also takes away that "no...

I've had my place for a year now. Learning every day about deer travels. I have a ravine where bucks are traveling, but the wind down in it sucks. Wind swirls no matter what. The ravine runs down and buts against the road, where they are crossing. Perfect funnel, except for the wind...

Love this time of year. My sister sent me this pic today from driving in Des Moines. I used to do this before owning a truck. Love it. Nice buck too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So this morning I hit a buck at 15 yards. Made the mistake of holding my 20 pin on center of the lung area, rather than low on him. I hit him high. I was about 18 feet up so there was a down angle. As he took off, the arrow was sticking out and it then broke off about 20 yards from the...

Anyone else having a heck of a time figuring out wind from forecasts? I’m currently using ONX Hunt. Said wind this morning straight west. Set up and its east then south east then west. Kinda been like this all season. Hard to plan stands ahead of time. Any suggestions for good...

Well, I didn’t see any deer tonight but had turks walking around in the timber. Just so happens I had a tag burning a hole in my pocket. I’ve never killed a turkey with my bow, so I put the pin on her and brought her home. I hit her leg squarely and she only went 5 yards. Sent from...

Now that my pond is just about done, I'd like to get some posts/pilings put in for a dock. I've seen guys use telephone poles. That would be awesome, but super heavy to lift and I don't have an excavator to lift them into place. Pond is empty and dry (for a short time) as it's filling...
