    How far into the timber will you stop cutting?

    Make Minnesota Iowa again?

    Term limits and the integrity of the elections are huge. Trump is working on both. I'm not sure how to enforce an up and up on the elections in states with sanctuary cities where they use illegals for votes, where corruption is passed off for the greater good...for a better America and voting...

    Decatur County Trespasser

    No match on a known trespasser that I had running cams in that area but it's a large group from Wisconsin/Michigan so probably more than one side by side. I'd be hitting up Hunter (CO 641-414-2174). Sounds like a group of 12-15 rouge hunters. PM me if you have any more questions.

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    In more ways than just the lower payment and cost share?

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    Give me your thoughts on this iowaqdm...in a nutshell, the does are producing enough bucks to replace the bucks that are being shot with either 2 or 3 tags. Approximately 3600 extra bucks killed. In a sense, we are trading 3600 button bucks for the 3600 that were killed the previous season. If...

    This will definitely make it much easier to cull! Thanks for taking the time. I'm going to add this question...The 3600 is all the bucks from the 2nd and 3rd tags from last year, is that a fairly close average as of late?

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    Well worth the 40 pages! Have you played with those numbers minus the counties that don't have much deer population or by county?

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    I want to say you're right and I'd love to learn something new...explain further. Give me all the math, this is interesting! It's important for everyone to have a clear understanding of this.

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    Agreed...goes hand in hand. A push for population should be first and bucks will follow. Daver asked how one buck would help the cause and I did the math. In the event that the population stays down, either by lack of concern by law makers or a continuation of heavy EHD losses, the reality is...

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    I think if all hunters were self regulated, you would be correct and we wouldn't be on the 39th page of a thread about the lack of trophy bucks in iowa. The majority of hunters are not self regulated. When the population was higher, we had a lot of wiggle room. We could kill a 3 year old AND a...

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    Um, ya. The other 9 bowhunters call you the bad neighbor...guarantee it! Not a science but talk is cheap. I'm not picking on you Dennis, you're just a victim of my third big cup of coffee! Welcome to the site!o_O

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    This has been hashed over a million times. I believe that a higher population is the cleanest option. I also believe the population is abnormally low because of EHD. A temporary doe reduction would probably do it. 2 or 3 years. Couple that with 1 buck and we'd be off to the races but not...

    Saving our piece of dirt

    I was thinking of this while passing the Middle school and High school last night, packed with fans backing their kids(a good thing)...I wonder how many of these fans have a clue what is going on in the country today. Then I thought, I'm no better being preoccupied with deer hunting and land...

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    These 10 bowhunters have the ability to take 20-30 bucks throughout the seasons if they wish to. If they are land owners, they have a minimum of 10 bucks they can kill with a bow while waiting for one of the 6 mature bucks to walk by. If 4 of the 10 bowhunters kill the 6 mature bucks, that...

    Third pedicle or DMB

    Have yet to get another pic of this one. He'd be a nice one to find if it's a DMB.

    Pro’s and con’s of selling without doing a 1031

    Sounds like you are getting choked out in interest rates and you already know the solution. On the other hand, if you buy another farm close to home with a high interest rate, you'll be sitting in the same boat minus the 1031 tax savings.

    Poll Question #8: Would you support legislation to eliminate a buck tag

    This is how I voted and my thoughts. This would be a win win for landowners...few kill 3 bucks so it would be no hair off their ass if the guys in the cheap seats are restricted to one and we get 2. If one buck is needed, it's needed throughout.

    Poll Question #5: Should mowing standing corn be illegal?

    I voted yes but if you're a food plot hunter, it's the same exact thing. It's probably a can of worms that shouldn't be opened.
