Haven’t personally seen anything in Clarke or Warren. Epicenters from 2019 Devastation. Common sense tells me from seeing 2012 and 2018/2019, these herds are building immunity. I had 60-70% of the herd I hunt killed back in 2019 in these same areas. We’ve been drier than a popcorn fart for...

I just don’t understand the logic behind this. What’s the point of CRP then? Why not just put it into improved pasture and be done with it? Seems like CRP today is just a bale out for land owners on “poorer” soils. It has nothing to do with soil management or habitat, or these practices...

Man that makes me nervous. I just took my bow in last night to have strings and cables put on there…....

He’s survived over 2 hunting seasons on a bum leg, these animals are resilient. If your goal is 5.5 and he’s only 4.5; it appears he’s blown up. He could be a real giant next year. I would pass.

DOT planting deadline is like September 10th or that ball park. You’ve got plenty of time. Wild guys planting turnips south of highway 30 before August. Around 60 day maturity on most turnips varieties. We usually don’t catch a killing frost until late into October.

I don’t think this new regulation has anything to do with age of the bucks being reported. I think it’s merely another checks and balance for hunters to be monitored. Say you shoot a 16” main-beam buck on October 16th and then all the sudden your Facebook picture on November 1st is you...

Freeman Ninsley out of Seymour, Iowa does good work. I know he's willing to travel as well. Great guy, big deer hunter too.

Like others have stated, make sure you're getting a lease in writing; the "good ol boy" hand shake isn't going to benefit anyone. My lease contract was drafted up by a lawyer just to make sure and cover all the basis's to protect everyone involved. There are plenty of good generic leases out...

November 12 this year. 100% shed and not broken. Nothing appears wrong with the deer. Healthy appearance and seen him couple different days. Even appeared to be chasing does one evening. I’ve never seen anything like this year. By far the strangest year to date

Warm weather equals fewer birds? I dream of 40-50s in December. Goose hunters dream.

10x shot! Great buck. Congrats.

X2. What’s the point of harvesting her out of any other doe? The “cool” social media need me some atta boys and likes post? She’d be a very noticeable and easy Doe to follow around on your farm. Document her success each spring while fawning, watch grow old, etc etc. Guess the older I...

Hands down been the worst year for me from the camera perspective. Lush, green plots getting hit 1 in 3 days. No EHD that I’m aware of. Hardly any mature deer on cameras. Hardly any buck sign; scrapes, rubs, etc. I know the acorn crop is a bumper one, but when a corn field gets cut and...

Are those archery kills? Or youth hunters using sniper rifles, I mean 350 legends……..

yes I would agree with that. Spring was definitely dry. I would even go a step further and say mild/dry winter left the entire subsoil dry well into spring. But once summer got fired up, we caught a lot of rain that other areas missed. Some of the best crops this area’s ever seen. So I’m...

I guess why I’m so perplexed is the fact our area (Clarke county) has gotten good rains all summer. We didn’t enter a drought stage until we’ll after bucks had tipped and or even lost velvet. But I’mi in the same exact boat as well as my good buddies up in Warren county as well. It’s hands...

Who said anything about non residents? Guilty is guilty, regardless of who you are. What color you are. What your religion is. I doesn’t matter. But us Iowa residents love every time you boys from Minnesota cry………

Might as well bring this to the battlefront……

3 farms I had sprayed…….all a guy had to do was follow the flocks of turkey. They were out there hammering the worms. It was almost comical to watch. 30 birds just running around like rats plucking them worms out of the grass.

Spray. It’s cheap. Cost me 12$/acre with application to have the coop spray all my hay that was getting destroyed. it will grow back potentially. But a guys risk plants going into the winter with very little in the gas tank. Hard winter could very well kill your stand of hay, clover, etc...
