Are there possibilities to add adjacent property down the road?? Like others said I’d do it. Add to it if possible or as Hardwood said make it A1 and flip it for a bigger piece.

Is the video online? Would love to see it.

Ohio is also a bait and crossbow state. Not sure how they maintain quality.

No pins to aim. lol. More deer would be wounded than anything. I think sights on bows are fine. If anything I would ban the range finding bow sights, sights that magnify and of course continue to keep cross bows out.

I have a couple larger plots, 3 acres, that we use mostly for muzzy or gun seasons. We put in 3 or so micro plots 1/4 ac or so in tight places using the surrounding timber/cover for so called screening/comfort for bow hunting. Instead of planting screens we use existing cover. On the larger...

I called the Monroe County Iowa FSA office on this topic. You can absolutely lease or charge a fee to hunt crp enrolled land be it birds, deer etc. One caveat was no permanent blinds in the crp itself. If a blind is erected for hunting it must be removed after season. That was it.

Every outfitter in Iowa would be out of business if you couldn’t lease crp land.

I see no place where it says one cannot charge a fee for recreational hunting on crp land.

The government can’t interfere with recreational activities on the crp land. The prohibited activities you list would damage the acreage and/or reduce the enrolled acreage. Hunting doesn’t do that. I removed my land from crp a few years ago after 20 years in the program. Best thing I ever...

Yes it’s truly in crp, I know the guy. My understanding is he can sell hunts. Nothing precludes private land enrolled in crp from being hunted for a fee. I leased a farm enrolled in crp in Illinois to deer hunt. No difference.

Created in 1985 the crp program was intended to reduce severe soil erosion from HIGHLY erodible farmlands and decrease crop surpluses, supporting farm income by paying farmers to take environmentally sensitive land out of production, I’d say much of the property in crp does not fall in the...

I think his point is crp has gone beyond the boundaries of established intent, like every government program ie unemployment, disability, welfare, ptsd, tbi and a million others. The intent is good but fuzzy parameters, subjective variables and greed cause bleeding of the program.

The point is the abuse is more prevalent during shotgun seasons I guarantee you. Bow hunting is more solitary and individual. Group hunting during the gun seasons involves more people, more deer killed and more tags needed. It’s common sense. Come on.

I’d like to know how many deer are tagged with the wife’s, Grammy Betty and auntie junes tag. That’s the abuse factor. It’s not as simple as if the deer has a tag it’s ok. I’ve witnessed guys say I can’t go out the last weekend and give tags to guys who were.

Didn’t blame anyone. But I’ve always believed party hunting is a joke. A person should be able to fill their tag and their tag only. If you fill your tag you can push but not shoot. A “pile” of tags for a group leads to a free for all hunt with a if its brown it’s down mentality. I don’t do...

On Saturday I visited a locker to drop off a deer. I pulled around back to drag the deer into the cooler. Next to the cooler door were at least 20 sawed off buck heads. Everyone was 1 or 2 years old, not one older. This was the last weekend of gun 2, can’t imagine how many little bucks were...

I simply hunt as much as I can Halloween week through Thanksgiving week. Pretty much covers all the pundit opinions.

You know an old timer once told me mature bucks don’t run around during the rut. They’re old, smart and know where to be to get it done. We see the 2 and 3 year olds acting goofy, much like a 23 year old dude running from bar to bar looking for tail. The longer I hunt I think he’s right on.

You’ll recover the money you use from your 401k and you’ll diversify your portfolio with the land purchase that will increase in value. No brainer.

I pulled from my 401k to buy my first piece. Best thing I ever did. Like you I paid myself back per the rules through small wage garnishments. No penalty. Again, I would go for it.
