If you buy a farm with an IRA, the IRS has restrictions on how much you can use the farm . They don’t like CRP in a Self Directed IRA (at least not in my case they didn’t ) … Farm land & timber are options. I wouldn’t put a blind on it, in case an IRS agent drives by or checks on it … which is...

Minnesota is changing to rifles in certain counties. Most north & central mn counties are rifle only . Southern MN has been shotgun for 50 yrs. My county (Pope) voted 4-1 to stay a shotgun county . Which we lobbied for ! Finally a good decision. The county commissioners vote. It’s kind of a...

I believe that is correct. We have trusts set up for the boys to inherit .

If you pass away, it goes to the heirs without the tax . That’s my plan .

Anything for sale next to you ??:confused:

What county ?

Iowavf… you can just tag another persons deer in Minnesota, as long as both are legally hunting together .

The key time period is (January). Deer are stressed, & the bucks are starting to shed . Too many shed bucks killed . If there’s a compromise, have the season end Jan 2 or New Years Day ? It’s worse in cold states, like Minnesota. It’s one smart rule we have in Mn! The season ends Dec 31.

Yes

The biggest problem is they keep hunting. In this case with the 5 bucks, he was using tags of his wife, & who knows. They weren’t even hunting. So he took 5 bucks for 3 legit hunters ? I know my local warden has cracked down on that now. It would be a simple decision for Minnesota. I’d even...

Yes I would ! End it Dec 31!

I haven’t even read up on the Tim Walz deer farm situation. I will however, say he is probably the worst Governor in US history! Minneapolis was once a nice big city, he has helped make it a national embarrassment. What state or city has been in the news more in the last 6-7 years ? It’s...

Minnesota is not a true 1 buck state . They allow party hunting with all weapons. You can shoot multiple bucks. I know a guy that shot 5 in one year ? If Minnesota changed to one buck it would be a big upgrade. The biggest potential improvement would be to move the gun season back !

I’ve been vocal on tags over the years. So much has changed, I stay out of it now . My thoughts are 4 to 5 yr wait in tags if you own the land is way too much ! If it’s a 1-2 yr wait that’s not as bad . I understand the access issue . If they would set it at 320 acres or more , I would argue...

Some of the best deer habitat I’ve ever seen is a CRP contract ( like a riparian buffer) that has volunteer cedars and shingle oaks popping up in it . I found 6 sheds in one of those pockets of cover in Union County . The deer sign was insane.

I went to a meeting in Minnesota yesterday in my county (Pope). The meeting was on whether the county should be rifles/any caliber or continue as it is now (Slugs) which it had been for 50+ yrs. It was packed house & it was about 50% for rifles & 50% against it (stay as a slug county) . Most of...

I’ve said all along that 1 buck & season over by Dec 31 would go a long ways . I would give up anything after Dec 31, & as a NR landowner I can’t give up much more. Pretty restrictive already !

I think the fixer upper farm surrounded by tillable is a great idea and been discussed on different forums! In my opinion it would take 5-7 years to be a real attractive property for wildlife. I would say 10 yrs would be more ideal .

You can always buy and fix it up… then sell it ! Good luck

This is your argument? What is the ratio of bucks shot during gun & muzzy compared to archery ? If any Iowa county was archery only, could you imagine how good it would be ? Sign me up if any Iowa county goes archery only!
