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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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

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.

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.

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.

Do you then only fertilize every few years?

I was thinking of this the other day while getting a depleted acre, food plot ready. Once you get your soil dialed in, what fertilizers are needed for yearly upkeep? I know brassicas love Nitrogen, clover..p&K but if you are just keeping up with yearly growth and wildlife consumption, what would...

Look at it as a bridge to shed season.

There is definitely some mange down there. I think I just need to get a little closer and find out :D

It almost looks like this coyote has wire or a snare constricting him mid section? Maybe grazed?

Every plot is different and if I felt it would be to my advantage I'd do it. FYI...there is another post asking the same thing. Debate: One Big Plot OR Screening to break plot up into Smaller segments

With the exception to our regs, these examples are the reason why Whitetail thrive in Iowa. I wouldn't trade our percent of timber for nothing or at least not in good deer country.

Some after pics for sure. A few more questions...are you planning on dropping the majority of the edge trees into the switch and how far beyond the original edge are you feathering? Are you hinge cutting any or dropping them completely?
