    Iowa law related to disturbance

    If you think it’s intentional start documenting it, pull out the phone camera when they drive by. Eventually theyll slip up and do something that goes too far and between that and all of the “innocent drive by’s “ you’ll have proof it’s been going on for some time.

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    One good thing about thermals is the poachers and dopers aren’t the only people out there after midnight anymore. There’s actually some reliable witnesses driving around now.

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    I thought the same thing, even once a week during hunting season.

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    I am all for going to one buck tag, limiting long range weapons be it optics restrictions or powder restrictions, get rid of assault rifles during muzzleloader season increase fines for the laws already in place, clear up the wording on certain laws to reduce the “grey area” that alot of people...

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    I think the drop in fur prices can be added to the long list of things listed above as well.

    Neonicotinoids insecticide & deer health- causing big problems???

    I snared a ton of coyotes around my neighborhood and it sure seemed to help , I’ll have to do it every year I’m sure but coyote pictures went down and deer pictures/ sightings went up. Also seems like I have more twins this year. Also I had no idea snaring coyotes was so easy, anyone could set...

    Google Mead Nebraska ethanol plant They were using leftover treated seed from all over the country to make ethanol. Turned into quite the disaster.

    High fence opinion in specific example???….

    If you could find a way to make it work, I think it’s a good thing. Deer collisions just fuel the war on deer from insurance companies, farmers, and thrill killers. Seems like the longer stretch you could fence both sides the better. I was in Montana this summer and there’s hundreds of miles of...

    Neonicotinoids insecticide & deer health- causing big problems???

    When we got hit in ‘21,’22, ‘23, and ‘24, we hadn’t had enough rain to make mud to make midge breeding grounds. All of our water holes dried up in ‘20 and according to what everyone says about EHD , ‘20 was the year we should’ve gotten smoked by it and we had zero EHD. I’ve been thinking for...

    When was the last time?

    Usually if there’s an auction I didn’t go to I find out what the ground brought and think “ that doesn’t seem terrible “

    Tactics for stopping or nailing poachers….

    In the rough parts of some cities there’s a system that detects gunfire and alerts authorities (in this case landowners) . I’m not sure how economical it would be and it would have to be situated where you wouldn’t be alerted to the neighbors shooting legally. And it wouldn’t catch anyone with a...

    Gonna do it. Disagree/ hate if you want too...

    I have a wood stove in one blind, last year a couple does got directly downwind of me and never once lifted their head. One example, probably doesn’t make it gospel. Same argument has probably been made at some point over any given scent hack. I will still always try to use the wind to my...

    Wyoming has common sense… “extreme range hunting” being debated ….

    Once again I’m all for this type of thing but how do you regulate how far people shoot their gun? Limit optics? Smokeless powder ban for muzzleloaders ? What about electronics in the field in general (rangefinder, smartphones, etc. ) I feel like no matter what weapon is being used certain people...

    Wyoming has common sense… “extreme range hunting” being debated ….

    Skip, it’s like you knew my arrowhead muzzleloader showed up today!!! But even with that said I agree with you %100 , I think we need to have more restrictions and give the deer more of an advantage.

    Custom farming

    I would make an effort to be there when planting and harvest are going on, bring the guys lunch, help dump seed in the planter , just being present will go a long way to keeping them honest. Friend of mine had some chicken barns built by a crew of non English speaking guys, he would carry a...

    Switchgrass bedding experiment

    I tried something similar to this but in a different order. I did a direct seeding of oaks, plum, hazelnut, silky dogwood , highbush cranberry, arrow wood, ash, and boxelder. I used a 7’rotary tiller to break up the old pasture in strips just like you described. I dodged all of the cedars and...

    OPPOSITE OF IOWA - MICHIGAN - baiting legalized!

    You won’t find another guy that wants to see fewer bucks shot than me. I just have a hard time wrapping my head around guys having 40+ days of gun and muzzleloader hunting. I think it should be a one buck version of what we have now. A governors tag version doesn’t seem like it would reduce buck...

    OPPOSITE OF IOWA - MICHIGAN - baiting legalized!

    How does the one buck tag work in Kansas? Do residents just pick one season ? Or does everyone get to hunt bow plus one other season? Or just a governors tag where you hunt any season you want until you’re tagged out ?
