Our EW held up extremely well after heavy snows in Iowa last year. I think it's unlikely that EW would blow down easily once the stalks die in the fall/winter. Last year was our first experience with EW and we were very pleased. We planted again this year and have a good stand. Good luck.

So, it's July 15....anyone seeing young turkeys, particularly in S.E. Iowa?

oak trees, my advice (worth < than 2 cents) 1) Refer to "Dbletree's Corner". 2) Plant a variety of oaks and consider some hybrids for earlier production. 3) Read up on sawtooth oaks, especially for your area. I have some planted in Iowa and as in the south, they seem to grow quickly. One...

I've noticed that legacies seem to come at the cost of a sore back.

Pleased with the 4-5 pairs of Mucks I have had.

I had good luck with Coldstream Farms 2 years ago. Good looking trees, excellent survival rate.

About 5:45 pm, Monday, January 18th, someone shot a small 6 point from the road the runs by our farm. This "hunter" was driving a fairly late model, dark colored Chevy S-10 4x4 in Van Buren County. The deer lies rotting in the field. The landowners on and around this property would be...

Dang Paul, seeing that dibble bar again makes my back hurt! I recall spending some quality time with it during a day of cold, pouring rain!

dogs for deer tracking I don't know the specifics of this bill but the one experience I had with a dog trained for tracking allowed me to find a deer I'd wounded. A couple of friends and I had searched for quite a while and had pretty much given up. We called a friend whose lab had been...

A friend taught me to mix about 1/4 strength, cook a patty and taste it, then go from there. Works pretty well if you're trying a new brand of sausage mix.

You don't want hogs in your area. We have plenty of them on the hunting clubs located between the Ms river and the levee, where much of the hunting area is in my part of Ms. They destroy food plots and crops. Hunting clubs shoot them on sight, try traps, dogs, etc. The numbers can be kept...

when to plant beans... Skip, From what I've seen in Ms, late planted beans get hammered. My guess is that they are the best tasting thing around if planted late in the season after most beans are planted. I've seen early planted beans do quite well and I assume there are other things in the...

Reviews for the HCO Scoutguard SG550 digital IR camera look pretty good at about $200. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this camera if you have any experience with it. Or maybe you know of a camera you think is better...that would be interesting to hear, also. I'd like to put out a camera or...

Why would a non-resident.... Why would a non-resident from Mississippi, hoping to retire in a few years, buy land in Iowa? It ain't all about hunting.

Is there a mower available that can be pulled behind a 4-wheeler and be set high enough to mow clovers, grasses, etc? I'd be interested in knowing what may be available, reliability of products, approximate costs, positives and negatives when compared to using a 4-wheeler rather than a tractor...

request.... I'd like to see estimates on the age of the bigger one.

What's your estimated age and score of that buck? Nice deer. Congratulations.

As a non-resident landowner in Iowa, I'd like to see this bill passed with the provision that some minimum number of acres be owned....say 40-80 acres. It's stated in another post that ownership of 320 acres might be required, which seems like an awful lot to me. I've really enjoyed my visits...
