Has anyone tried putting it in some kind of tub making it easy to leave no trace for hunting season? If I'm reading the Iowa laws correctly you can't hunt withtin 200 yds of a mineral site unless it's cleaned up. That makes it difficult for a small property guy to run mineral. Deer seem to...
I should have state 33% have below average genetics, 33% average genetics, and 33% have above average genetics. In my opinion, 2 in 10 at best have the genetics to hit 180 in Iowa but I hope I'm wrong.
A couple of guys from MN made posts about tag sharing and CWD areas. True, you can shoot more than one buck when party hunting, but, there are still only 5 buck tags for a group of 5 guys, so technically one buck tag. However, in CWD kill zones, you can shoot 3 bucks I believe...
I think biologists would argue that 50% of IA bucks could go 180”. Roughly 33% of bucks are below average, 33% average, and 33% above average. What would you guys say an average buck would score in Iowa? In my experience in North MO, it would be closer to 145". Even if it’s 160” in IA, which I...
True a guy can shoot multiple bucks, but a hunting party of 5 can still only tag 5 bucks. Yes, some guys are cheating and filling granny Myrtle's tag, but the impact is minimal.
Good point about SEMN being 3 bucks. That said, it is still the best area in the state for giant bucks because the population is strong enough to overcome the pressure on them. .
Minnesota is a 1 buck state.......and is garbage.
This thread is about GIANT bucks, not just big or mature as stated in some posts. Only 3 in 10 bucks have what it takes to become a giant. The deer density has to be high enough to overcome the pressure on the high potential bucks.
