I agree 100% that finding them is the hard part. It seems almost impossible now to find a giant..Killing them isn’t that hard on private land.

Since muzzle loaders go out to 600 yards now that is why I mentioned them. I watched a video from mcwhorter on their muzzle loaders. The owner and his son say on video “these are 600 yard weapons and there is nothing primitive about these muzzle loaders. People are using these and similar in...

I think getting something changed once it’s legal is almost impossible…I’m all for banning cell cams but you imagine what 90% of hunters in Iowa would say if they proposed that. They couldn’t even get it done on public land last year much less trying it on private land. Limiting buck tags would...

No doubt giant bucks are extremely rare now. It’s not just Iowa, it’s everywhere. I think technology is the biggest contributing factor. Mainly cell cams, crossbows(where legal), and long range muzzleloaders. It’s made hunting too easy and unfortunately most hunters want easy. I talk to serious...

I saw a knock down drag out fight yesterday afternoon..3-4 year olds..Also saw a nice 8 pt pushing does and grunting like crazy . This week could be great with cooler weather

Not to discourage anyone, but it is tough to buy land when you are young today. Lets' say you buy 40 acres for $230,000. You put 20% down which is $46,000 and then take a loan on the rest. That leaves $184,000 to finance (over 20 years). If you use 7% interest rate that is about $1,426 a month...

Alfalfa and acorns mostly from what I'm seeing right now.

I've had the farmer knife standing beans in the past and it does do damage but not serious damage to the standing beans. If you own the land, ask him to put anhydrous down next spring instead of this fall.

I've had just about every brand of trail cam and nothing compares to reconyx that I have used. Some of my reconyx cams date back to 2009 and still work perfect, I did send one back this summer (older cam) because the SD card reader stopped working. They did a complete refurb for $30. When you...

I’m starting to see agents break farms up more into small parcels now so they can sell them. Not good!

Yes, I saw on a goggle search that some articles say Iowa does have it, and others say it doesn't. I have a small farm I bought, and it has some deer drives nearby. I am going to post it and was hoping to use purple paint.

Does Iowa have a purple paint law indicating no trespassing? When I was in Illinois, I always saw purple paint. In Iowa, I have never seen it.

The whole public education system is broken. It's run by Democrats, who destroyed it. If this stuff happens in Iowa, imagine what's going on in other states.

They just added you to the spam and cookie tracking list.

Alfalfa is great in planning for the normal drought we get this time of year. Deep roots.

A few years ago a buddy got up to Illinois for his rut hunt. He knocked his corn plot down with his truck and punctured 2 new tires in the process. :p

I’m not sure you can turn them off, but you can change the trigger delay from your cellphone. I think some let you to select allow only pics at night, or day, or both.

If you do cell cams maybe just run them at night. You will be going thru batteries quick without a solar panel.

Old age could be getting him. From the pics he looks old.

Everyone should listen to this with Jace Elliott. They did a great job interviewing him, and he is a real asset for Iowa hunters.
