More deer means more bucks, which means more 2.5 year old, 3.5 year old, 4.5 year old, etc. I don't think the age structure of bucks is much different than back then, and if anything, it's slightly better now as more people are "more" selective on the buck they shoot. I think your argument...

As a non-landwoner, I still contribute to habitat on the private ground I have permission on, along with 2 acres of food plots. As far as the divide, I agree. I haven't put any money towards the lobbyist effort yet, mainly because I'm concerned that it will go towards laws that I don't want...

Also, deer hunting was the best in the early 2000s when the population was higher, therefore we are better off going after increasing the overall population by limiting doe tags. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

I'm against the 1 buck rule, and I'll argue that unless you also get rid of party hunting, it will have very little impact on buck age structure. That will only affect the people that archery and gun hunt. I'd say if someone is bowhunting, the chances of them being more selective on bucks...

If you want a challenge, take your bow out for late season. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

Does anyone have a 300 RCM rifle? If so, want some free ammo? I have 2 boxes of hornady 180 gr SST I mistakenly bought for my 300 win mag. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

I've shot rages for over a decade, never had an issue/ failure, and they've saved me on a few marginal shots over the years. I shoot 70 pounds and 29" draw length and can think of one time I didn't get pass through. I'm going to keep shooting what works, until it doesn't. Then maybe I'll...

I'm not advocating this, but the last 2 years I've had days were I got to the stand late, ~5-10 minutes before legal shooting and had shooters come by right at legal light. If you have good entry, you can sneak in pretty effectively. I target 30 minutes though. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using...

Experience with my cheap muddy cameras is they work pretty well, but night time moving pictures tend to be blurry a lot. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

Farm implements are big enough that you will probably be forced to weld vertically a fair amount. MIG welders handle that better. They are more expensive, but a much more versatile tool. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

There is already a shortage of labor, that's what driving automation. The small time family farm is the minority and most farms are larger corporations and they can't find enough manpower. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

Mid 2000s the iowa deer population was it's highest ever, and the deer hunting was the best ever (at least for me, although I've heard others say the same thing). That being said, I still sit shoot 1-2 does per year. The farmer that let's me hunt wants deer shot, and I don't always get a buck...

I did mine at the end of May and disced them in, and I got very poor germination. I'd say your biggest issue was the moisture and not the lack of disc. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

My entire neighborhood is drinking straight from wells. We test the water yearly. Had to shock it once because something started registering. My parents have been on a well my entire life also. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

Depends a lot on how much wind you receive. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

Keep in mind that you pay a service fee to be connected to electricity. MVEC charges $40 a month. My average bill is around $150 a month, which is $1800 per year, but only $1320 of that is electricity. The other $480 is service fee. Also, they sell solar by tax credits and the fact that you can...

I'd guess you are going to be 50k or more into solar by the time you add on the batteries, and you probably won't still have the capacity to be off the grid in the winter time. There just isn't enough solar power and daylight hours in the winter. As far as heat, go with a wood stove, not...

I provided civil reasons why I don't like Biden as an on-going discussion of both sides. I didn't call him my enemy and tell him to get the F out of here. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

Forgot, I agree with wasteful defense spending. The DOD just failed it's fifth audit. They can't account for 1/6 of their $3.5 trillion in assets. If you really want to get upset, watch Jon Stewart's interview with the defense secretary. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk
