Thanks for the info..Buck hollow doesn't sell Matthew's and that is a bow i was interested in shooting..Liability wise i wasn't concerned with, it is more setting it up right and not taking shortcuts. .Cam timing, drop away rest timed correct, d-loop dead center, etc... ..I'll probably give them...

Has anyone purchased a new bow at Scheels Des Moines recently and had them set it up? How did they do and are you happy at the detail they used in setting it up correctly? I'm getting a new bow and trying to decide whether to buy from Scheels or not.

Were your enlist beans treated? I planted untreated enlist beans last spring and the deer hammered them too much. It really limited my yield and the beans that did pod out, got hammered this fall.

Last year they threw a couple things in late like the cell cam ban on public. I wonder if they will try that this year with something big like legalizing crossbows during archery?

Nice offer!

I don't have dog issues, but if I did, it would be solved one way or another quickly.

Will this more than likely be next week?

In my opinion killing mature bucks isn't hard enough and manipulating deer movement makes it that much easier..Technology, manipulating deer movement, etc are some of the reasons why old, giants are very rare today.

I think a well spoken female hunter would help a lot at the capital. Some of the lawmakers would listen close to a well spoken female who knows her stuff.

I agree. This needs to be enforced..it's out of control now near me.

I could have made it yesterday but didn't know about it..Do we know when we need to be at the capital next? Knowing the dates in advance will help a lot of hunters make it for the next round. Or do these all just pop up spur of the moment with no notice?

Just ban all in season feed/bait. Make it clear cut and solid on the rules. Too many people cheat and hunt over bait in season! The pull of bait piles in season is huge, and I see it by neighbors who bait near me.

Great job..The way you break down the bad bills clearly and concisely is a big help for lawmakers to understand..Iowa hunters are lucky to have you fighting for them.

Thanks to everyone that spent the day up there ..Stinks it went thru, but you can't win them all..

I'm out of state working so I cannot make it.

If a one buck limit cannot be passed at least limit everyone to 2 bucks max. Landowners being able to kill 3 is too much. I know sometimes this is good for highly managed farms and taking culls, but overall, 3 buck tags is too much. Also, who gets a landowner tag needs to be tightened. Getting...

It seems like everyone is similar on what they would like to see. Skip, what do you think are some realistic changes we could see? How can we help?

What would deer hunters like to see changed for the upcoming deer season? Be realistic. My realistic hopes are that all in season bait and supplements are banned. Too many hunters skirt the current law now and it gives an unfair advantage to them. I would also like to see Iowa go to a one buck...

I'm not sure how drone surveys or drone recoveries are legally done? Drones are required to remain within line of sight, so unless they are on a high point how do they keep the drone in sight? Even on a high point, I doubt that it could be legally done with the line of sight regulation.

So many things are wrong with this season. A couple of big ones are shed bucks and poachers. A small % of hunters will see a giant and shoot him with their high powered rifle in this season. Not to mention in many areas the population is way down. Iowa gets a lot of things right, but this season...
