I am interested in hearing opinions on draw weight for turkey hunting. I think I am going to try it with my bow this Spring. Right now my bow is set up for deer hunting. It is set at about 70lbs, maybe just a hair more. I would like to leave it where it is because it shoots really well, but I...

I really would like to establish a few (3 or 4) small plots in the woods for next season. I am wondering what people have had good luck with for plots like this. I need plants that don't need full sun, and I obviously would like them to be a viable option for the deer during hunting season. I am...

We would like to do some selective cut logging on our farm to enhance the habitat in some areas. The areas we are looking at are heavily timbered ridges and draws, but there is a severe lack of undergrowth and browse. The trees are mostly hardwood, oaks, hickory, cherry, etc. There are some that...

We have a small group that hunts together (3-4) for the first shotgun season. One of the members has a landowner tag. I know that he can only use that tag on an animal shot on his own property, but can he still party hunt with us on another property.

Well, I finally made it out yesterday. Nothing to report though. It wasn't a bad evening to sit, but the weather conditions did change my plans. The wind was blowing about 20-25 mph and gusting over 30 mph, so instead of sitting in an oak flat on a ridge top I settled for a riverbottom funnel...

I am taking my 10 yr old daughter turkey hunting this year. She has been going along with me for about 5 years, but has not hunted herself. She loves to go, and even has her own box call that she is pretty good with. Anyway, a friend is letting me borrow his Rossi 20gauge youth shotgun. It is...

I have a couple of questions for the Iowa bowhunters on here. They have to do with the Iowa Bowhunters Survey the DNR puts out. 1. Do you participate? 2. Do you get the form and not fill any thing out? 3. Do you send the form back every year or do you sometimes not get it in? 4. Do you...
