Wow. That's incredible for 35 acres. I hunted a place similar about 20 years ago. Roughly 40 acres of NWSG with limited nest predators since it wasn't right next to a big timber. I think we jumped close to 100 birds (without a dog), best I've ever seen. Congrats on what you have there!
I voted yes because Iowa's deer population is heading in the wrong direction and I'm for anything that would help. I'm a landowner and rarely buy 3 tags. I buy an archery and shotgun tag, usually don't fill both, sometimes neither.
For the sake of discussion though, I'm curious if it would...
I took my son on Saturday. Birds were flocked up until about 9:00 AM but we called one in to 40 yards and he wouldn't come any closer. Went to a different spot and called 3 toms in but he hit the bird low and we couldn't recover it. Both hunts I couldn't have asked for more action though...
I bought an XOP Vanish last year. I like it and how easy it is to hang. I also have the XOP climbing sticks. They lock together and carry nice but they're really heavy.
Just found this thread and thought I'd bring it back from the dead.
Daver, I'd love to know how things have gone with your quail habitat and how the population has responded over the past 6 years.
I have 12 acres I'm restoring to oak savanna and pollinator habitat. I'm gearing it toward...
There's a big push right now for pollinator habitat, which also happens to be great for deer, turkeys, pheasants, etc. I'm turning 4.4 acres of pasture into pollinator prairie and the NRCS is giving me $5500 to do so. Give your local NRCS office a call and see what's available.

Historic CRP signup in sight.
Agriculture Department officials and some outside experts expect landowners to sign up for CRP in the largest numbers in at least a decade.
"FSA has yet to release the new rule for the program that is expected to detail the state acreage...
I don't think having a doe factory is a bad thing on smaller properties. Mature bucks won't tolerate human activity during the summer like does will. Does will hang around as long as you're not right in their business, then come late October and November the bucks show up. I'd prefer that to...
There's tons of satellite and aerial (shot with planes) imagery of your property and mine that's freely accessible on the internet, all taken without our permission. Where is the line between that and someone flying a drone over and videoing their neighbor's property. Serious question. I'm...
I wasn't really sure how to title this post. Does anyone know the ins and outs of owning a recreational property and purchasing items for it, (ie. gate, fence, UTV, etc.) and being able to write them off as farm use. What is required to do this if you're not actually a farmer?
Am I ok to flush cut and stump treat in the spring? I've read hack and squirt doesn't work well when the sap is flowing up but not sure about completed cutting off the tree at the ground and treating.
