Early in the season i only get within 100 yards of them. But late in the season when the leaves are on you can get right under them! If you have to go by them early in the season make sure it's real dark when you walk by them. They won't know what you are.
Well said Muddy. As like you I did not even get out this year for myself until 4th season. I try to get the whole family a bird before I go out. I like the kids getting 2 weekends and I like the season going into mid May. If you want to hunt grouped up turkeys like the youth hunters Nebraska...
Man I agree. I liked having 2 weekends in youth for my kids. Then I could take one each weekend. I also like the season being later. Better weather and you can hunt those mid afternoon birds!
That's the problem. I will not trap much in southern Iowa. The county that I trap you cannot keep cat's. And this was my oldest boys first trap set with me and we caught a bobcat! So that was pretty cool! The other problem is the ground that I caught this cat on we can no longer trap next year...
We caught our first bobcat trying to trap coyotes. Any recommendations for taxidermy in Iowa? We haven't decided yet if we are going to mount it or tan the hide. What would you guys do?
That's a big NO! IMO you just risk a mechanical having a mechanical failure. That's why I switched to the Buzzcuts. They fly like a field tip and will blow through a shoulder. And I am real bad at hitting the shoulder! :)
This happened to me years back. The Tom had multiple puncher wounds with puss in them. I cut around them and got to the good meat. I spelled it and the meat smelled fine so I ate it with no problems. But like Muddy said. I fried it in hot oil.
Do you not listen to anything we tell you? :) You will be fine with a lite load! Lane killed his Tom this year with a 2 3/4 pheasant load. 5 shot. And the bird was 50 yards away.
