Opening day of 4th season found me at the "turkey killin' tree" in some big timber that we've named for good reason. It was a beautiful morning with birds hammering but nothing within 300 yards or so. They were fired up but nothing seemed to be getting closer so I was contemplating getting up...

Calm, cool, clear seems to be a good morning. They were hammering for me this morning though.

I have five shoulder mounts and I already wrestle with leaving a "bunch" of mounts for family to deal with after I'm gone. Even on good deer I go back and forth on shoulder mounts but at $1000 a pop I think it's going to be euros unless it's a giant.

Nice! Congrats!

Congrats!

I went Friday and had a pretty good hunt and got within 100 yards on two different occasions but a ditch on the first one and a creek with high water on the second had the birds hung up. I got a call Thursday night from a buddy and he asked if I wanted to hunt with him on Saturday so I took him...

Heck of a morning! Well done!

I pick turkeys as well. I really enjoy the interactive aspect of turkey hunting. Deer hunting has become such a competition and some people get way too butt hurt over it. A tom is a tom whether he's 2 or 12 years old or if he has a 9 or 11 inch beard.

Way to go Dakota! Congrats to all!

Nicely done!

Heck of a start and some good stories to go with it! Good luck the rest of the season!

I have a stihl ms180 as well and like it so far. I have only used it a few times and I'm not tackling large projects but it has served it's purpose well for me.

Removing the emotion and your "wants" from the equation is often difficult but I echo everyone else. We don't know how big these properties are but removing one 1.5-2.5 year old buck each year isn't going to hurt a thing age class and genetics wise. In my opinion, let him shoot whatever makes...

I have only walked twice this year which is way less than normal. Found 6. Three fresh and three that were old. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

I had this exact same thought last week. Very curious if anyone has done this with any luck.

Copy and pasted from the IBA email. Still lots of bad bills out there, as with every single year. Iowa Bowhunters Association Legislative Update - Week 7 This Friday, March 7, is the so-called “First Funnel,” the day by which most bills must be approved by at least one...

Identical bills have been introduced in the Iowa House and Senate restricting our state’s ability to expand parks, trails and wildlife areas. They are being fast-tracked — both had subcommittee meetings yesterday and both recommended passage — to beat this week’s legislative funnel. House...

No one is going to change your mind, clearly, and your arguments aren't changing anyone else's. Is your main gripe that people have flipped farms, made money, and now have much bigger farms and in your opinion, those guys are the ones not wanting the "little" guys to do the same? I would bet...

Which of the following changes do you feel would be the MOST beneficial for the 2025 season, in order to Keep Iowa Great for deer and deer hunters? I believe this is the survey you are referencing. I'm a huge fan of all the people in leadership roles with the ISC. However, I'm not sure they...

I read comments that I'm on board with on both sides of this one. Selfishly as someone who would enjoy owning hunting ground someday but knowing a large chunk of land wont be in the cards, I would like to see the number slightly lower than 40 acres but I try to hunt a few properties throughout...
