No way. Those meetings were 100000% the reason the shed buck season got removed 6-7 years ago. These meetings will be a part of how we get rid of it again. They are absolutely not a waste of time. The only time the meetings were a problem was about 10 years ago and previous to that …. “No...

I had one of those swisher ones with a motor abbot 20 years ago. Worked pretty well. I recall I beefed up the hitch system on it with a welder. Wonder if the one u running…. Is it mowing things too short? Even when I do it with a batwing now I just give it a hair cut & go higher rpm so...

Just started it.

Pendulum around the country is starting to swing back the other way. Finally!!! Good job guys!!!

I watch no sports other than when kids are in em. Nor do I care about any. I’m the odd ball with sports. I spend too much time & thought in political issues. It can bleed over into deer debates if I’m not careful. Happy to debate or discuss better deer hunting but our family for...

For sure agree. Totally anecdotal what I’ve seen. if I tried to make it a scientific paper on that - it would be a huge flop for credibility for hard evidence. Was a genuine ? for u & I absolutely believe you. The other anecdotal thing I’ve seen for 30+ years now…. You go to states like...

U see that? The lockers I go to have been SE iowa & SC iowa. So- for sure not statewide. But- if I see 10% 1.5 year old bucks…. Be about right but maybe others seeing a lot different results.

If the technology is out- absolutely doesn’t mean we need to legalize it and we shouldn’t. U get caught with a thermal sight on your bow- should absolutely be a no go. Same as night vision on your bow. Or a spot light mounted on it. It’s not “a few might violate” type of example. It’s a...

I’d say yes. Neighbors were ones that actually had more history than I did. I kinda think he’s one of those bucks that never “scored well” so he just got passed over & over. & I do see that a lot even in iowa. When we know one is older (say 4 & older) & he’s a “110” 8 point” for example…...

8’ for sure!!! If it’s not gonna be up forever …. U could do like 5-6’ woven wire & a few strands above that. Or just do another layer of woven. But- if u shop around- u can get rolls of 8’ woven pretty reasonably. I’d spend the little extra and do it. Saves so much hassle. I did like 8...

Here’s ones on my phone. Bro got biggest one on ks farm. I guessed “191”…. Ended up being 196”& he was 8.5. Some other examples of kids, guests or friends. Lot more like this. Older ripe bucks. Don’t care on score - small to big if they old or a buck that’s ripe that someone would be thrilled...

I don’t have a firm answer on this of course… only speculation & experience. We don’t age deer in iowa (or KS) in any organized fashion ….. so how the world do they say 42% are yearlings?!?! Unless im missing some odd random sampling that sure isn’t accurate over the state. & yes- I’m sure...

I totally understand the POV. &…. I totally understand that many NR’s are there to shoot only bucks & generally not super young ones. Totally agree. I also agree on being skeptical of the data! ;) On the other side- there is a ton of residents managing for older deer. Especially the...

Top end is more & better than anyone realizes IMO. It’s a rare to be a “true giant” but more than folks think. It’s just far less can get there nowadays as they can’t get the age. When iowa was at its peak, imo - was before straight walls, cell cams & all the stuff to pick off the best 4 or...

PLEASE CLARIFY THIS!! :). I hear conflicting things on MN. To confirm - MN is a 1 buck state - anyone shoots a buck & they can’t shoot another? I ask this because I’ve heard it is and then I also have heard different. Genuinely want to know the facts there on how many bucks a guy can...

Welcome!! Share some insight on Arkansas for us sometime. Great buck!!!

3 this am & one this PM. In daylight actually. 2 of em…

This will be so handy for the ONLY use I can think of I’ll use it for!!! I can shoot em on my corn pile in the middle of the night or… 2nd use if I want to only violate 1 law vs 2…. I could just use on hunting scrape lines or fields at dark Just like NV - NO THERMALS DURING DEER SEASON!!!!

IT IS THAT BAD. That poster makes me a bit sad cause I live this & see what has happened in every single one of our 100 counties. Was telling some folks anecdotally … I probably chatted, texted, saw, got feedback from maybe 1000-1500 guys around the state if I had to take a wild guess. This...

Good gosh!!!!! It’s awesome & kinda sad at the same time.
