    Land prices / insane!!!

    eh I can think of a half dozen farms roughly that size that have sold off market within 20 miles of his new place in the last 3 or 4 years. I am surprised he hasn't been able to turn up much in that neighborhood though. There was an absolute bomber of a typical shot just down the river last fall.

    “I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HUNT MY LAND AS NR EVERY YEAR!!!”

    Bingo. There's an awful lot of moral policing on what other people shoot that's totally in line with regulations that have been in place for decades. It will never get old seeing guys that are politically "we need to get the government out of our life" go full throated "we need the government...

    Highway 2 Monster!

    That antler color/configuration is a dead giveaway for a pen buck.

    200 inchers?

    One thing I never see mentioned is the "youth season", which has basically turned into dads channeling the energy from coaching T-ball into making sure their 5 year old kid blasts a a 3 year old 150" deer off a tripod so they can have it on instagram. Or early muzzleloader season. I keep hearing...

    Land Prices Out of Control

    This is really simple actually: look how much we expanded the money supply in the last 15 years. $/Acre is fairly proportionate. Sure, there's a rise between Covid/people wanting their own slice and cheap interest rates, but it's not super complicated. Land really isn't that over valued when...

    6 To 7% Timber

    I agree completely, but that circle is eventually not going to square with the hard cap on non-resident tags. We have almost 1,000 acres in a zone that was an easy draw for a bow tag every other year, now it's a 3 year wait minimum. I don't say that to brag or throw any weight around, we just...

    6 To 7% Timber

    They don't qualify for residency, so it clearly wasn't looked into. Everyone gets so hot and bothered about any change to allowing a higher NR cap on licenses that they ignore the amount of PO Box and illegal residency status that's happening.

    6 To 7% Timber

    Iowa giving out Governor's Tags to every country music star and everyone associated with Realtree and Drury in the early 2000's to promote deer hunting in Iowa will probably be cited on this forum as the beginning of the end of "easy access to big bucks" on this forum 10 years from now. Correct...

    Oak logs

    Walnut still holding strong, even #1/2 common saw logs. The best walnut veneer tree I've ever laid eyes on was felled recently and went for something like $17k to the veneer buyer. I didn't throw a caliper on it but at chest height I'd guess it was a 30" tree with the first knot at the end of...

    Land acquisition, the opposing view

    Just the perspective from NE Iowa, but I'd be more inclined to support a proposal like this if places like the Yellow River SF were more actively having timber sales and getting the saw instead of letting letting prime red oak lay down 5 years after a wind storm. Or another acre getting rolled...

    Our own worst enemies

    The best 3 deer hunters I'm aware of don't have social media and outside of their family or neighbors, nobody ever sees what they kill.

    Stop this fighting!!!!!!

    I found 2 130" 10 pointers dead this year, my best guess was fighting. I pulled the last of my cameras on Thanksgiving, but between November pictures and bucks I saw during gun season, I'd guess a full 25% of our bucks were busted up in some form or another. I don't think a lot of people realize...

    Now that necked cartridges are lawful (min .35 - max .5) what will everyone be hunting with this year?

    I meant as two separate issues when talking about new calibers getting introduced. Some people think it means more people end up getting hurt, while others think everyone is going to get a 375 Cheytac and start pounding bucks from the next county.

    Now that necked cartridges are lawful (min .35 - max .5) what will everyone be hunting with this year?

    This has absolutely zero to do with the type of weapon and everything to do with somebody not knowing their target and what's beyond it, plain and simple. It's incredibly frustrating to keep seeing this argument pop up. It's almost as farcical as the "people will now be shooting deer out to a...

    When will the Bowmars get what they deserve?

    They will get what they deserve when people on Instagram stop giving them likes and buying their "patented products" like their nose button (already invented) or things like Josh's grandpa inventing rattling techniques that were in Outdoor Life 30 years ago. Stop buying shit from anyone that...

    The "orange army"

    it's really hilarious how people will get upset about the "orange army" but not about the fact there's both a youth and adult early muzzleloader season in October with weapons that can shoot over 500 yards (and the same people can do that in late December over food sources.) And the same people...

    DeerCast vs HuntWise

    If I were emperor for a day, my first act would be to refund everyone who bought into the "Red Moon" app. The rut happens at literally the same time every single year, and we know from deer with collars what they're doing in october. The Poachmar's aren't shooting big deer when an app tells them to.

    2021: Strange deer year to date: My observations

    Cameras on normal food sources for this time of year have turned up below average results at our place in NE IA, but I'm chalking it up to the acorn crop and not worrying. I left to head into the office for a few hours the other day around 11AM in the suburb that I live and stopped and counted...

    Anyone else seeing more Varmints than usual?

    Turkey hunting this spring, I walked a quarter mile down a logging road on ridgetop and saw 9 raccoons out and about at 11AM. Sure seems like there's way more than usual.

    % of old bucks that make BC....

    There was a Don Higgins podcast I listened to while doing some yard work in the last month (can't remember the episode), and he made the point that unless you have years of identifiable trail camera pictures of a buck, you're never really know unless you get a tooth aged. I thought that made a...
