    Wife’s Nov 17th buck

    Love to hear that! The good stuff. Often it’s our kids & grandkids that give us the paradigm shift or perspective we need!

    Wife’s Nov 17th buck

    Excellent perspective. I tend very much to be a “bottom line” guy. Bottom line here is. I either need to do exactly as you are doing and learn to “let go” a little. Or, I need to sell the farm and move on. Might improve my situation, might not…no guarantees that after a move the neighborhood is...

    Water hole question!

    There is. As long as you have electricity nearby. I have one of these in my yard. The deer & other critters love it. 16 gallons. TSC.

    Water hole question!

    Yes. Will work. That said, the deer absolutely hammer my tanks. There were times this summer/fall where I was adding another 100 or more gallons to my 300 gal tanks every 10 days.

    Water hole question!

    I’ve spoken in-person with my county CO as well as law enforcement in Des Moines at DNR. It’s perfectly ok, not baiting.

    Wife’s Nov 17th buck

    This is “The Basic 8”. He was another old, grouchy, known bully on the farm. I passed him at 20 yards on the morning of 11/4 and was rewarded an hour-ish later with the buck I posted previously. That said, I nearly picked up my bow and let this guy have it, which I would have been happy & proud...

    Cold Feet

    Great thread! I suffer from the exact same condition. Hands, feet. For those of you that use the Arctic Shield boot covers…I bought a pair many years ago. They were so loud on the platform of my tree stand they lasted about 2 minutes and went in the trash. Have they improved that? Are the...

    Water hole question!

    I’ve got tanks all over my farm. A variety of 110 gal. And some 300 gal. Again, I also have multiple natural water sources, creeks, ponds, etc. But in my experience (been putting water tanks out for 10 yrs or so) they become very habituated and dependent on the tanks. It’s often the very first...

    Water hole question!

    I’ve been filling mine with SIRWA water for 3 years. They drink it just fine…in fact they hammer them…even with several natural water sources available. Several deer we know very well have used them from the start and continue to, so no health issues for the deer that are obvious.

    1st Iowa bow tag punched in 27 years

    Thanks for all the likes & nice comments. I agree, he’s a stud 8! I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Hopefully taking out a few of these old-timers creates room for some youngsters with great potential.

    THE PLAN TO KEEP IOWA GREAT- CALL TO ACTION!

    Donating fully set up 2023 Hoyt carbon RX7 with bow case to the cause. I need to get this into the hands of the right person at the IBA so they can sort out the best way to maximize…Raffle? Auction? Other? If you’re the right person, or know the right person, please message me.

    1st Iowa bow tag punched in 27 years

    We spent our 1st night back in Iowa on New Year’s Eve, 2020. After nearly 27 years of living in other states, what a dream come true to return home. We purchased a farm in southern Iowa and instantly got to work deploying cameras, posting signs, putting in food, etc. While my wife punched 2 tags...

    Honest concern with Youth Hunter bucks shot…

    We live in a microwave society…the masses want instant gratification. I will say this, I never told my boys “no” you can’t shoot that buck if he comes by as they were starting their hunting careers (we lived in Nebraska at the time and they couldn’t legally hunt big game until 12 years old)...

    Acorn Crop

    I think from what I’m seeing/hearing, the areas of the state that are the droughtiest, mast production is high to very high. The areas that are experiencing closer to normal moisture, production is normal or below average. According to this drought map, I’m blessed to be in one of the “wettest”...

    Acorn Crop

    If this has already been asked/posted, my apologies for being redundant. I’m curious what others around the state are seeing for acorn crop? On my farm (Ringgold County) there’s essentially no acorn production this yr, other than shingle oaks. I did have a young Bur Oak in the yard produce...
