Something like 20-ish in last 10 or so days. Guys shot 9 & hit 4-5 others but didn’t find. One buddy got 4 I got him spot a few miles from me. & I trapped some. :) I’m the worst contributor but I’m still getting up there for #’s Few more catches & im going to start a Trapping School &...

That’s a great point!! I think we should all work together to ban guns!! I mean maybe a musket at the most. We have the 2nd amendment only for hunting & when they wrote that it’s when muskets were the norm. No guns, no problems!!!! Duh. :). It’s fun to make the whacko’s arguments on...

Funny one. They caught the one of a gazillion doing this. ;).

If I wasn’t old and decrepit…. I’d plant 25-50 every year for rest of my life. One year (as some on here would recall) - I did 4,000. So- that retired me. Stupid!!!! Any normal person that’s not an idiot like me… add as many as u can be comfortable with every year & do it in an area u can...

Got up at 4:45 (for 4 straight weeks now) I just walked 9.2 miles & im covered in tree paint. We driving from Taylor co back to my farm to work on equipment. My brain might not be top performance right now. :)

Ahh…. Lost in translation of typing! ;) :). I was like “this isn’t that complex…… but- I’ll still clarify!” Ha! I’m all over in ks in NE or have been in past. It’s wild how many “15,000 acre chunks” of vast expanses are out there. Same with SD. Like- 5,000-20,000 acre tracts are reasonably...

I agree with that. But ur missing the huge & main point!!!!!…. -all states have this dynamic!!!!! Most of N Missouri, all of IL, all of IN, Most of Ohio, bottom half of: WI, MN & MI. Bottom half’s of all 3 of those states are way more MIXED idea habitat than we have in our whole state...

So- take the 640 acres surrounding your farm (size of your farm or where u hunt is irrelevant). Think of all your neighbors WITH SOME TIMBER…. In a 640 area….. how many deer hunters would u guess hunt it through out our 4+ month long season that has 7 deer seasons? I’m in great area and I...

2.7 hunters per square mile- I haven’t seen an area in the state in 25 years with that few. & I’ve been on farms in every 1 of our 99 or 100 counties in 25 yesrs. Not even close to a farm I have seen with that few people. All those data sets are using the blurred data “across the whole state” -...

That’s kinda every state now though. Most states have moved to 4-5 months of deer season with at least 5-7 different deer seasons in there. Youth, archery, gun, doe gun seasons, Muzzleloader, etc. No doubt in most states- gun is the big one. & how iowa divides guns up is genius. Time...

Exactly!!!! How many farms in “warren county” or Guthrie, marion, Clayton, Boone- whatever - any hunters there where u go: this 640 acre section has landowners like a “40, 160, 80, 120, 100 & a 140”….. any scenario I know like that…. It’s usually 3-10 guys hunting each one of those pieces at...

See- everyone in every region is shocked by this anywhere in the country BECAUSE: they see it through their lense of what they see in their tiny pocket or backyard. Seriously. MI guys will say “we have millions of hunters”…. But when you get to the UP for example or even regions in N mi -...

Here you go! I got data for things like CRP, marshes, pastureland, etc as well. Take a look!!!!!!!

I don’t post the podcasts usually. This one was fun & covered a crazy amount of topics. Hopefully this one helps some folks. We covered a gazillion topics. I had some fun here. Probably clear I didn’t sugar coat any topic. Growing bigger deer, consultants, how to buy land, farming...

You want any cost share for improving? Start there. I do think if u asked lindsay to call if she gets a free day- if u r flexible - bet she gets u in. We for sure can get u pointed in right direction. This is my bread & butter but this isn’t too bad for complexity.

2 good dudes and one total loser!!! ;) Guys have repeatedly said “why don’t hunting “celebs” speak up?” Well…. Some are. Lee sees what’s going on & is willing to help. See u there!

No business standpoint from anyone involved that I know of. Maybe one could say “guys that get paid to find deer support this” but it’s nothing like “DJI wrote this” or “the drone recovery group”. Like how Ravin will write bills on crossbows. This is NOT that scenario. Whether u support or...

These are the signs I have posted all around my farm. I had these made in last few years since thermal poaching got so bad. 75% of neighbors who aren’t around or don’t watch things close have no clue the madness that goes on. Other than “found headless deer again” or find one off road with...

What u mean by #1 - it is 24 hours a day- u cannot coyote hunt at all - period - during deer season. As a NR. Good thoughts on rest. I really like feedback where guys are thinking through this stuff. Really appreciate everyone’s thoughts here!!!!

Hey guys…. When I’ve said I want to hear from others …. I have & I meant it. I’m not a coyote hunting expert or even mid level- I’m novice at best. I truly believe we need to hear from your average deer hunter to the landowner with poaching problems. We need to account for areas with massive...
