Ive now seen articles on Fox, CNN, and MSN...I wonder why all the attention so suddenly? I assume once one of the big guys picks it up the rest follow suit? Either way, it's getting a lot of press right now.

With this being on the radar for so many states, they need put more funding into finding a test with real time results. I realize this is not a cure, but it would stop the possibility of meat coming to a processor and infecting others, and the hunter would know to dispose of the carcass right...

I’ve always questioned how a butcher shop would separate clean deer from CWD...the answer...they don’t, and can’t. And the other thing that always pops in my mind is the ethical question of sharing meat. How many of us bring sausage or bologna to events/gatherings? Could it have CWD? When will...

I did the same thing on a very small parcel when I was young. I was hoping their was another loan option out there I didn’t know about. My big question I’ve always wondered about is......how much cash would you have to put down on a piece of ground with a mix of timber & tillable (that would be...

How do you get a 25 yr fixed loan on rec ground without a home on it? I always thought they required balloons or shorter length loans with huge down payments? What am I missing?

I should have been more specific. The area around the yellow river state forrest has had numerous years of special hunts...after the regulag seasons. I have hunted it for years and have seen a lot less deer these days.

I’m assuming this is in Allamakee or Clayton? More special quotas....or in other words population reduction. They have taken a ton of deer out of this area already. Not sure how many more it can be reduced. Quite a bad situation for all parties...hunters, landowners, DNR, local businesses, etc.

I also have a property in the affected zone. It’s been very clear to me what they are trying to do. They are trying to keep the numbers as low as possible with out getting the big headlines in the paper that report wiping out an area. They are calling them “extra sampling”. The area relies...

Ok. Serious question....what’s bull butter?!......haha. I made the choice to buy land back in my 20’s. I agree with what Hardwood has said and I appreciate the rational dialogue. I’m more concerned about access for future generations than myself. I agree that public in Iowa is better than a lot...

The American way of life was not created then!! They came Because they had no opportunity (everything is locked up by a select few) and religious freedom. It was MOST CERTAINLY the force that drove them away. They had no opportunity.... so they came to “the land of opportunity” as I stated above!

Sligh, thank you for your thoughts. I think what bothers me the most is that some of these guys have absolutely no interest in the land or connection with it. I don't know all the loopholes. I've been told the 1031 exchange allows them to invest in farmland, let it accrue value over time and it...

After doing a little research on a property for sale, I started looking at who owns a little further out from me. I have known the trend of the little guy ie. small family farm units of a couple hundred acres being bought out by the big time farmers. I think we all have been seeing this. What I...

It' completely fine.

Two things #1 spend the money and have a shoulder mount. #2 have it done by Mike Meyer at Meyer Taxidermy just north of the quad cities in Goose Lake. He is by far the best around. I believe it's a little over $500. You won' regret it.
