    Pottawattamie County

    I'm hunting the county north of Pott and it's awful. Worse heard I've ever hunted in my 27 years of deer hunting. There's still deer around but man it's a small fraction of what it used to be.

    Switchgrass

    Yup, we got nervous cause once we planted, then the summer heat and dry period hit. This stuff germinated in less than week with little moisture in the top soil, a splash of rain, and the roots took off and found the subsoil moisture and were set. I'm honestly shocked. I figured this stuff...

    Switchgrass

    Interesting thought process there! Makes sense. Dad finished up mowing today. One of the areas of switch we drilled is an old pasture ridge top and east facing hillside. This is really the money spot of all of them we drilled. Dead center of the farm, it's already a deer sanctuary with just...

    Switchgrass

    We drilled RC Big Rock on July 3rd this year. The prep work ahead of time was we burnt with fire the entire area this spring. Dad sprayed the new growth 4 different times with a mixture of roundup, atrazine, and crop oil. Each time we'd get a great burn down but weeds would come back very...

    Tree Planting

    Getting ready for youth season and had the boys out with me at one of our old tree plantings. Planted these in 2012, mix of oaks but the reds, whites, and chinkapin have done excellent. Unreal the growth they've put on! No acorns ever documented on the whites or reds but I've been seeing...

    Camo clothing

    For me it's not about the pattern of Sitka, it does look cool, but I don't believe it helps hide me any better. Shoot, I wear brown or green pants in the early season with some cheap walmart shirt. But when the conditions get cold/wet then that's when Sitka shines in my opinion. I've never...

    Turkey Poult concerns slightly relieved….

    Only one group of poults here so far, there's three hens and 8 poults from two different clutches with them.

    DNR deer decline meetings in western Iowa

    Thanks for sharing! I'll be attending - I know the quality of hunting has dropped wayyyyy off in the last 5-10 years. Numbers are scary low compared to what they used to be. Habitat loss and EHD are rough. Over harvest has some impact but it's not the #1 issue.

    Son and I doubled up first day out 4th season

    Hudson has now officially killed a handful of toms. This was his third season turkey hunting and his first four birds he's shot in a blind over decoys. Some really cool hunts but for his second tag this year he wanted to stalk a turkey. Sounded like a great idea to me, he needed something to...

    2nd season birds

    We love killing some turkeys!! Trail cams and years of hunting the same farm definitely give us an edge.

    2nd season birds

    My wife, Nicole, and I got out Saturday and filled our second season tags. We got up early, heard a few gobbles but by 7am could tell we weren't in a spot to get a bird off the roost. So we got to the truck and started driving and glassing. We saw four jakes in a spot that we thought about...

    Youth Season success (video included)

    Got out Friday with my oldest two boys - nearly killed a couple jakes, just wouldn't come closer than 40 yds. Had two toms fighting behind us 100yds. Great first hunt. Then Saturday we put two toms to bed and I set a blind at 11pm. We were in the blind for about 40 minutes Sunday morning and...
