    God has blessed America.

    This is 100% going to be true. We give billions to Ukraine and then they come back and buy US private military contracts and weapons - its real BS to make the insiders rich. they dig all this up and show it to thr American people, the dam on the swamp is gonna bust wide open I think there is a...

    A Straight Walled Gun for my Wife

    The 220 is an awesome gun but will kick your ass compared to any of the straight walls. The recoil on the 3” accutip on that gun is about 23lbs of free recoil - quite a bit for a small frame. I have the Ruger America 350 for my son 75lbs. He has shot 3 deer with it without a problem. Recoil on...

    The Future of Iowa Deer Hunting and a One Buck Limit

    Some real good points here - doing shots would be fun. Gotta feeling I would run some broadheads thru my arms thou - can go spear instead!! I do think there are lots of changes that could help the herd overall for residents and based on what I have heard from guys on here and good friends it...

    Brassicas not touched

    Been many years since we did a soil test, I cannot recall the specifics. I generally try to get mine in by first week of august, maybe I need to push that back to mid august. Do put Nitrogen down but not overboard, maybe we will lay off that. Can’t decide if we give it another try or switch...

    Brassicas not touched

    Our PH is around 7.4 - when I say untouched they don’t even eat the leaves after the hard frosts. I had heard it sometimes takes a year or two for them to start hitting them but I think I am done trying

    Brassicas not touched

    Well, I am on about my 4th year of running brassicas on one of my farms. This farm has 2 small plots, 1 is about 3/4 of an acre and the other about 1/4. The 3/4 acre plot I have about half in clover mixed and half in brassicas, turnips, radishes. The clover does tremendous and the deer love it...

    The Future of Iowa Deer Hunting and a One Buck Limit

    I do not own land in Indiana, I do own in IL. I would say the land in terms of potential quality of hunting are equal and don’t get me wrong I have been fortunate enough to kill big deer consistently off both. However, in IL I have seen a pretty flat overall herd structure for the last 20 years...

    The Future of Iowa Deer Hunting and a One Buck Limit

    1 across the board. Special instances like reduction zones where you can earn a buck but those are mainly city limits hunts and park hunts.

    The Future of Iowa Deer Hunting and a One Buck Limit

    Like I said - I was a doubter myself and had the same thoughts as everyone else. Obviously you have to change as a hunter too or it may not work. You have to be willing to harvest bully bucks or get someone in there that will. But while I hear every other state complain about deer populations...

    The Future of Iowa Deer Hunting and a One Buck Limit

    I have lived in 3 really good deer hunting states in my life, Illinois, Iowa and Indiana! I have been fortunate to hunt some great ground in all 3 states but will admit the DNR in IA doesnt come close to what we have in Indiana in my opinion. Our DNR implemented the 1 buck rule 2 decades ago...

    God has blessed America.

    it has been a great first week! More face time with the President in 4 days than an entire 4 years with Roomba Joe Time to get that border buckled up and a bunch of bad people sent home. Hope the camp city in Mexico has enough tents!

    Anyone got any decent rates on recent land purchases

    Hey all, Looking to purchase my first farm. It is about 100acres mostly timber but 20 acres or so of Ag. On that size of property just curious if anyone has made a recent purchase and got a decent rate? Most of what I am finding is around 7%. I have no loyalty to anyone as of yet so any info is...
