I would not plant white pine unless you are going to fence every single one, I guarantee it will be a waste of your time and money because the deer will kill every single one. I would not plant hybrid poplar or silver maple either. Both grow fast but are junk trees. Remember you are planting...
I would be against decreasing the length of the deer season. Not sure why people would want decreased days afield. All you accomplish by doing that is concentrating the hunters afield on any given day. If you own your own property you are able to decide what is harvested regardless of the...
Here is my take. Just be glad that your kid or a kid is interested in going hunting. Who cares what they kill, be it a doe or buck. Who cares if the buck is 20” or 240”. My take is most complaining about a kid killing a high scoring buck wouldn’t care or would actually praise the same kid...
Be sure those kids have hearing protection shooting any gun but especially that 450. One shot without and they will have hearing loss. Friend of mine shot his 450 out of his box blind and in the heat of the moment forgot his ear plugs. Said his ears were still ringing two months later. Sold...
Watched a buck tend a doe last night. Wouldn’t leave her. Otherwise, been slow so far for rutting activity. Gotta believe that is going to change this week.
I agree with recommendations above for the Ruger Mark IV or Browning Buck Mark. Can’t go wrong with either of these. Try both and pick the the one that feels the best to you.
No reason to limit buck harvest to one in my opinion. Every year more and more people are practicing QDM. More people are planting food plots. Overall heath of the deer is improving except for the areas hit with EHD. Party hunting groups are decreasing in both the size of the group and the...
Clinton was president from 1992-2000, he was responsible for pushing and getting the Brady Bill and Assault Weapon Ban passed (1994). I would argue that economy did good despite Clinton because of the Dot-Com boom. The budget was balanced only during his last two years (1999/2000) and it had...
Agree with Ishi. Wait 8 hours ideally. If cover is decent it will go a couple hundred yards and bed. If it doesn’t die within a few hours. It will likely head for water. I would start tracking this afternoon when you have a 2-3 hours of day light left. Tracking in the dark with poor...
Thanks to the DOT mowing ditches in August we now have wild parsnip spread all across Iowa. I understand the need to mow but wish they would mow earlier (or spray the parsnip/thistle) in June and avoid waiting to mow for the first time in August when the seeds are mature and the plants have...
