Would the scope ban be on all shoulder held guns during all deer seasons? Scoped AR's during shotgun has me shaking my head. How many bucks do ML hunters kill? 2024 harvest numbers don't tell that, but button and shed bucks made up 1/5 of the male deer harvest, and bucks made up half the total...

Death by a thousand cuts: Leasing Technology-cameras, bows, optics, firearms (rifles) EHD Segmentation-ground cut into small rec parcels Food plots with or without comfy blinds Habitat loss-keep seeing dozers clearing ground for row crop High grading Regulations-too many tags, too many seasons...

The word is out: Iowa has big deer! :p

Who registers their bucks with P&Y or B&C? I think that skews data like what was shown, there are a lot of big deer killed that nobody hears about. Yeah, probably fewer truly big deer these days, but there are some out there.

Congratulations. Still dream of elk hunting and might have to try again. Yall ain't helping...;)

Heck yeah, that'll do! Congrats.

Didn't take long to get busted up.

Apologies for the slight hijack. Back on point, buying the ground isn't the only cost. Property taxes, liability insurance, maintenance (fences, new well, plots, etc.). I'm sure your mortgage lender will point out some of those costs and maybe add them in.

You talking to me? Six dollars?

I was thinking using expanding foam in any gaps between the floor and stand.

Seems like local private sales offer some of the best "deals" these days. Do you live in the area you hope to buy in? If so, as you live frugal and save, think about becoming embedded in the local community. Let work colleagues know you are looking if you live in the area you plan to buy in...

They are pounding apples and corn, seen some out cleaning up soybeans after harvest.

Heard 100 acres of floodplain was on the market for one day about a month ago. $1,000/acre is why one day. Shoot, I'd have bought that!! Always hear AFTER the fact.

In velvet last summer:

I picked up my 2024 Archery buck from the taxidermist last night. I'm of the mindset that you don't pester your taxidermists, let him determine the timeline, didn't constantly text to see where he was with it. He moved shops since I dropped it off, so busy times for both of us. I'm using a...
