Wondering if anyone else has updated their iPhone to the newest iOS 10. Ever since I've done that, I can open the app and see the threads, but when I click on the thread I just get the spinning cog that never goes away. Can't actually read any of the content of the thread because it never...

Friend posted this on Facebook this afternoon. This buck was standing in a small park right across from Jack Trice Stadium in Ames. I'm assuming that he's cruising the river looking for hot does. Or he's just smart.

Apparently the City of Boone has some nice deer roaming their park system. A friend of mine sent me the pic of a buck found in their back yard less than 100 yards from Story St., which is the main drag through the middle of town. She said its appears to have been there for a while as the back...

Has anyone used or heard of using different essential oils as a cover scent for deer hunting? My sister sells them and thinks the are the cure to every ache and ailment, which I think is a lot hog crap. However, it got me thinking about the use of essential oils as a cover scent. These essential...

Anyone hunt Bays Branch? We sat on the east side duck hunting this morning and say 3 different bucks chasing does for about an hour around 7:30. If anyone is familiar with the place, they kept running through finger of trees that come all the way down to the water on the west side. Looks like...

Apparently it's legal to shoot an albino deer in Michigan. Cool to see. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/10/21/boy-hunter-bags-rare-albino-deer/17652845/

This thing looks wicked!

Had anyone ever used this locker for their deer? Last year when we were boning out our deer, a guy outside of our group let us try some pepper jack cheese and jalapeño deer sticks from Hunter Smokehouse outside of Chariton. We decided to give them a try this year because Uhlrichs Meat Market in...

Don't get to get into the stand during the week because of work, so I don't know how my part of the state is doing. Anyone hunting Boone County seeing much activity? Won't be able to get out until tomorrow afternoon. Hoping I'll see something after two weekends of not seeing a single deer.

Got a little cold sitting in my blind this morning, so I went and pulled the card 50 yards in front of me. Found this guy. I'm not great at judging size so I'd like your opinion. I'd guess him at 4 or 5 and 150's. I'll post better pics when I get home.

Posting this for a friend who I'm trying to get to sign up for Iowa Whitetail. Sunday night his daughter killed this 173" green score, 157" net score buck in the Dayton area. Going up to see it on Saturday and give her a big high five. I love it when the adults let their kids shoot the biggest...

I am sitting in my blind right now with my 9 year old nephew, Caedmon. Holy crap, 9 year olds do not know how to sit still and quiet! He's currently entertaining himself with his gloves. Wouldn't trade this for the world though. Well, maybe for a nice sit in a Turkish bath in Istanbul, Turkey...

So I've never made one of these before. What do you think? Just cut down a cedar and put it in front of my trail camera in a big clearing in a group of cedars. Any feedback is welcome.

Just wondering if I can go to the lumber yard and just buy a 4x4 wood post to use as a rubbing post. If so, what do I need to do in order to get it ready for a buck to shred it? Any scents I need to put on it? Any other recommendations for a cheaper long term rubbing post?

Just got a Moutrie 555i. Excited to get it out there and see what comes knocking this year. Can anyone tell me what the battery life is on this camera running only photos? I had some poor luck with batteries not even lasting a week, two max, on my two Wildview trail cams last year. Wondering if...

Anyone finding any today. I'm going out this afternoon to call in some toms, and will be looking. Headed to northeast Iowa for fourth season next weekend, and am really hoping my honey hole up there is loaded. Found some 8-10" yellows last year all in one bunch.

Just wanting some advice on how close you should hang a stand near a bedding area. I found and confirmed a great bedding area while she'd hunting, and it looks like a previous owner had hung a stand almost right in it. The chains are well imbedded into the tree now. Just wondering how close is...

Sitting in the rain all day just got more awesome. Check out this product. Pricey, but anyone who works or plays outdoors is going to flip! Make sure to watch the YouTube video half way down...

Hey guys. I'm going to be headed up to Hidden Acres by Dayton, IA for their annual Sportsmen's Retreat. My friend is the director there and says that it is awesome. Would love to have a whole Iowa Whitetail Forum contingent this year. Here is their description of the retreat. Do you enjoy the...

To say this hunting season has been frustrating, is an understatement. Seeing very little rut action all of November, and having deer spook for wired reasons, has got be super frustrated. But hey, that's why it's called hunting, right? Last night I was sitting on a public alfalfa field that is...
