Those 2 counties aren’t booming with deer anymore either…. Would have loved to see it closed for a year or two for some rebound. My farm (Allamakee) went from seeing 20 deer a sit to 2…last year we went a few days with seeing zero My home farm has been better the last few years and this is NOT a...

Yup- I work 7 am to 6 pm daily… hard to get to the bank and any other things that close at 5. Clocks won’t “matter”- but staying dark that late doesn’t scream fun for me

My county has been buying some great pieces- then they quickly turn to garbage because the gun groups slaughter everything since it’s not super rough country

I have not read through this whole post but just saw a commercial that says Lahn is from Kansas and flies back and forth??

Heard a podcast today- it doesn’t take place until next year since the draw is out? No idea if that’s true

I know B&C had stated it’s not fair chase if you get a picture that helps harvest the deer (don’t remember exact wording) Get rid of them on public 100%… if you allow them in the off season- people with “forget” they had one out there right… And I still think they could surely make the cell...

And people just leave them all year- which is also really stupid. I know my county was mowing down willows/junk brush and didn’t care if cameras were there or not- they know the mowed 3 ‍♂️

I’ve got TONS of them at my place (stones throw from MN). Hundreds and hundreds. Spread like crazy too. I had a buyer take a few very large walnut a few years ago and he bought several of the real large cherry- they were big though- and he didn’t look at anything even decent sized.

We have done both pheasant and quail- best thing to do is raise them with hen chickens so they at least get some sort of instincts. Otherwise- dumbest birds ever and all dead pretty quick.

Same in this area- but again- it’s great soil.

Well and as you always say Skip, right here is the problem. We dont know, but if they "take" 3000 statewide tags away from "every NR"- they should go to LOT tags? But then again, the argument will be, well those 3000 are only on their land, lets get those 3000 back into the pool, and suddenly we...

Dumb question- still against this- but if they do use 3000 tags for this- they won’t be LOT tags right? Statewide instead?! Which is more of a can of worms?!

I’ve been denied by a landowner AND the DNR- a week later the landowner was bragging about his 160” buck

They just did the neighbors and took like 100ish out of his- he didn’t get squat. I’ve got 15 that are HUGE, great quality…. They said wasn’t worth their time ‍♂️ I made more off of 6 walnuts (and I needed them gone- so win win)

the rules were what they were when they bought here right? If you don’t think it will change things- I need your kool aid. Living next to non resident landowners already who don’t live here, and living a stones throw from MN- I will be the first to say guys with a lot more money (remember other...
