Skip Who is the man or men behind this push? I think it's good we get this info out there now so we can organize. You have talked about how we, as sportmen, are not pro-active but this kind of info allows us to do just that. I think often we get blindsided by these proposed bills in Jan and...

I thought it had died so when I seen it posted I was confused. Glad to hear it died but we all know it will be back. Thanks for the update.

@Skipsligh @Fishbonker What's the deal with this bill? Is this a new bill for this session or where are we at with it. Read about on FB and the jist of it is allowing non-residents who own 80 acres or more to be able to hunt every year. If this is true I think it is a terrible bill for Iowa...

I think you did a good job Skip. One thing that contradicts these politicians who tell us they are only trying to increase opportunity is page 39 of the current hunting regulations. We have a youth deer season where youth can use a gun (or essentially any other weapon) but not a xbow. If they...

Just got back from a vacation in the U.P. and I was shocked by the number of turkeys in NE WI and in Northern MI. I told my wife I've seen more turkeys up here than in IA and I can't see much further than the ditch in most cases due to all the wooded areas. I talked with one DNR guy and he felt...

I agree with you Skip. Politics is and always will be the biggest threat to hunting in Iowa. I feel we have already witnessed detrimental impacts with late antlerless seasons and inclusion of straight walled cartridges. The straight walled cartridges are just a stepping stone for inclusion of...

Seems like most responses are worse. Although I can't speak for the late 90s/early 2000s I feel the hunting has been degraded in the past 12 years. I hunt mostly public (95%) and I have seen increasing pressure each year and especially in the last 5 years. I believe this is because of renewed...

All these politicians are idiots. You don't need semi-automatic or AR style rifles to control the deer population. We don't need any more help from the politicians. I think this is lobbyist money (either Farm Bureau or NRA) at it's finest. Rozenboom has no idea how to manage a deer population...

Tornado went through just over a mile south of my home. At my place it was dark to the South but other than that you wouldn't have known the storm was anything serious. I'm thankful it wasn't a direct hit to the city but definitely destroyed Red Haw, Pin Oak building and severe damage to Country...

I'm not sure of how to deter them but there's technology now that allows one to track an item via GPS. That way if they steal it you can find the item. Samsung and Apple both have them. Don't know much about it though because I just heard about it myself

I used to shoot Rage but lost confidence in them after seeing some failures and never liked the blade retention system. I then switched to QAD exodus. They fly very well and are extremely durable. My only complaint with them is the holes weren't very big which meant bloodtrails were...

Thanks Guys. It definitely sucks and its made me add a lot more security around the house. I doubt I'll recover any of it but I'm sure it's being sold for drug money. Just hoping someone will find it listed in an area I haven't been looking.

My garage was burglarized this past week and many items were taken so if you guys happen to see any of these items for sale could you please give me a heads up. I had a Kifaru Duplex Lite frame and Stone Glacier X Curve frame stolen. I also had about 18 fishing poles stolen including some St...

I wash my clothes in scent free detergent and dry with HS dryer sheets occasionally. Other than that I don't do much. I have stopped using sprays. I have an ozone bag which I think is worthless as I can smell the ozone and the deer certainly can as well plus it doesn't take long before the...

This has been an interesting discussion to read. I would say the number would be around 10%. After reading all the replies I have to wonder with the percentages people have stated are you better off owning multiple smaller properties or one large property? Pros and Cons to each but if your goal...

Better ticks than chiggars. I get them every year it seems although less now since using permethrin. Chiggars are by far the worst and yes that includes poison ivy which I get often as well.

I sent my email to the governor Friday and have been encouraging others to do the same. Hopefully it makes a difference but I feel the big money from gun lobbyists and reelection worries will get this signed. I hate how Nathan Gibson says this is all about bow hunters. I hunt with bow and gun...

Congrats. Great buck.

Try not to get too depressed about politics already. We appreciate you bringing the issues to light for us. As far as the representatives you mentioned with an axe to grind would you care to give their names so we can watch out for them as well? I already have been monitoring the guy from...
