I will allow someone with a youth hunter to hunt a farm I have in Decatur Co for a couple days this spring. I'd like it to be someone who has a youth (son, daughter, or family friend) that loves hunting but maybe you don't have a good place to turkey hunt. I do not turkey hunt and this farm is...

I'm thinking about putting some supplemental feed out for the deer this year from now thru August. What feeders do you recommend for this? Feeders that keep the racoons out and secure well to the ground. Are the boss buck feeders designed to keep racoons out, or can they climb up the legs?

I'd hate to be a deer the next week or so, especially the ones with limited food around.

I have a lot of soybeans still in a couple of plots and next year I will put corn here. What is the best way to prevent volunteer beans coming up in the corn? Bush hog the beans soon and let them rot on the ground, or just plant the corn on top of the beans and treat the volunteer beans with...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a 100-200 gallon 3pt sprayer to do food plots from 1-10 acres in size? I saw Northern tool had a 200 gallon boom sprayer for $3000. I want one that works reliably but won't break the bank since I won't be using it all the time. Tractor for this will be 63 hp...

I was thinking that buck hunting today is similar to loggers high grading timber. I'd wager a guess and say 95% of hunters don't really care how old a buck is as long as he has a big rack. They say they do, but really don't care when the moment of truth arrives. Most people will shoot a 150 inch...

Solution SS RH 70 lbs in Mossy Oak Camo, like new. It will be the bare bow without the accessories. $625.

How much rain did everyone get last night in Southern Iowa? We needed that bad.

I recently purchased a used Quiet Kat from a friend. It's about 5 years old and a 750 model. It will not go up hill on any type of slope without pedal assist from me. It works great on flat terrain but is useless on any type of uphill terrain. Is that normal for these bikes or do you think it is...

Can you plant brassica shortly after spraying 2,4 D or is their a wait period?

I'm in south central Iowa but also travel to Des Moines a lot. Where do you buy your winter wheat, rye grain, brassica, and buck forage oats? I cannot find buck forage oats anywhere that will be sold this fall. Skip gave me one place in Des Moines and I'm checking on other options as well.

Anyone ever come across a rattlesnake or another poisonous snake in Iowa?

Is this bush honeysuckle or trumpet honeysuckle?

Anyone have a genesis 5 and how do you like it? Can you plant corn, beans, and cereal grain with it? Easy to calibrate and set up?

I just purchased a farm in Decatur County and need a farm tenant starting next planting season. 55-70 acres for cash rent. I'm new to this area and do not know any farmers in the county. Anyone have a good recommendation?

Explain your doe harvesting strategies. How many does or what % do you try to harvest every year. I think this is one area even the most serious deer managers are lacking. I also think this is one aspect of deer mgmt that you really need to work with your neighbors on...

I may get slammed for saying this, but does anyone else think the late muzzleloader season is too long? With muzzleloaders now shooting out to 500+ yards, it's like a month-long high-powered rifle season now. Muzzleloader season came to be in the Midwest because of the open terrain and...

I hope it did not pass.

Anyone have 6-8 ft cultipacker in good shape that is for sale? I would need it delivered to Decatur county. I may just buy a new one but figured I'd check to see if a used one is or sale in the area.

They have been talking about how many 200" deer each state has on social media. I think they are extremely rare and less are out there than most think. Even mature bucks over 170" are a needle in a haystack in Illinois where I hunt. I think maybe 1-2% of the bucks are mature and over 170. I'm...
