Not to mention your driveway will turn into a salt lick for deer

I couldn’t get in this morning- or I should say- I wasn’t waiting as long as it was taking. Now this afternoon it’s pretty responsive

Was a product pimp for awhile- literally took all the fun out of hunting. Gave it up and been happier ever since. It was literally selling your soul- and it was big companies I did it for. Now I see one group I helped changes their products every year- so clearly they don’t believe in anything...

I do bees. It’s a money trap for sure but we do specialty crops and need them. It’s for sure not something I would be doing otherwise.

So this is going to sound dumb- but we plant them in pasture type area for our chickens- reduces the feed bill significantly. Deer don’t bother them “much” here- and they are in a high deer area. We get the occasional does they come in but there hasn’t been much of a draw here it seems. Not...

Grew up a rough life where no one in my family "wanted" to buy any land. My dad wasnt the best role model, my grandpa refused to "pay" to be able to hunt. My parents never helped me with my first car, my schooling, anything of that nature. I worked the jobs I could growing up (lived on a farm...

I will admit, I dont spend much time looking at Trail Cameras like I used to, so maybe there is an obvious one here. I am looking for a trail camera (could even be cheap off amazon) but I am looking for one that is Wifi only. Doesnt need to be cellular, but dont want to pull a card either. Is...

It’s super hard to get “lots” of ground in today’s world for your average 21 year old. Even that 80 is super hard with how things have changed today. The kids I know that are “making” it either had their parents pay all their bills (paid off their houses or vehicles, unburied them from credit...

So I’m looking at getting a clover area seeded but have been behind the game this year- am I better off waiting to fall seed? I am tempted to plant something (corn or beans I suppose) and then fall seed clover- seemed like when I wanted to get it done it was to wet, and now we haven’t had a drop...

My father in law is coming out of his CRP next spring and wanted to go into the "Tree CRP"... they are making him cut EVERY tree in the crp currently (all along the edges for the most part) but are being real big sticklers on it. Hes decided he will not be doing anything with them going forward...

Last I paid for my deer and antelope was $750 for each... havent mounted anything since, just boil the skulls now. Had a local taxidermist to one of my work areas was offering "show quality" mounts for $1500, and then a "standard" mount for $500. His standard mounts looked like the ones that...

I’ve trapped heavily here the past couple years and have A LOT more nesting here and hatching out. I think there were studies of roundup making eggs infertile? I do think bobcats are killing lots of birds and nest raiders clean up the eggs/young…

If you want to leave it better- you need to get rid of invasives. Or at least put a large dent in them so that way the woods can regenerate naturally. Just my 2 cents

The fear is- everyone wants to get rid of LOT tags, youth have had floating tags for years… everyone wants one buck- we’re gonna end up with a floating one buck tag ‍♂️

They were hoping everyone was arguing about Resident LOT acres that no one would notice this...

I talked to both neighbors and a DNR officer and a Forester up here in North Central Iowa. Neighbors have only found 1 shed on about 600 acres total of darn good habitat, I have found zero on all of mine. Talked to the officer, he said he has had LOTS of calls for salvage tags. Talked to the...

Burn it. Thats my only option- they won’t let me do anything else.

I think- maybe I am wrong- a lot of people with cabin fever are out in a lot of woodlots pushing deer around. One of my workers smacked a deer a few weeks ago, in the middle of nowhere- 5 miles from the nearest group of trees (literally wide open bean fields in this area) and he somehow managed...

Weren't the first couple of deer shows over in like Waterloo/Cedar Falls or something? I ask because my Grandpa has trophies from the shows when they were there, there was no "Classic" in Des Moines yet. My wife worked for the Classic for many years before TBI got involved- I never asked why-...

Its been awhile since I have been up to South Dakota, but I believe they allowed residents like 2 weeks of public lands first before non residents could hunt. Residents were mad because "non residents come up and shoot our deer before we get to hunt". I mean, of course if a non resident comes...
