It's me again... this is fun! Now for the last item that has been a thorn in my side... I grew up in Humboldt County & started deer hunting at the age of 9 (1974) with my dad & his group of shotgun-deer hunters. We hunted long & hard each day, but we seldom killed anything. Those...

Kansasdeerslayer, Thanks for proving my point... here it is a Saturday afternoon & you are sitting in front of your computer typing about DEER & DEER HUNTING! Obviously you are both avid & passionate when it comes to deer & hunting! My point is that if we start to see deer as...

Are you a landowner??? If yes, you likely grow an annual crop of corn & soybeans for harvest. Do you expect to be paid for these crops when they are harvested? You probably also grow hay. Do you expect to be paid for the hay bales that are harvested from your land each year? You may...

Everyone knows the negatives of land leasing, they have been batted back and forth on this website for years. But very few people are aware (or wish to consider) all of the many different benefits. Therefore, this post is a highlight of the major benefits... (1) Iowa has lost 30% of its...

To all NR reading this thread... If you share the feelings I have about Iowa's non-resident deer hunting regulations being too conservative. And you wish to do something about it, please send me an e-mail with your contact info. I am in the process of putting together a mailing list of...
