Consider it fully passed and signed. It's just a matter of time once it has passed one chamber. And threat to the governor's agenda, like the AEA bill and they meet in rooms before the next view and say "get in line" and pass this or "be primaried out next time"

Went to the vet for a wound and came out with an Ace bandage and a $500 co-pay

Public school education funding is another thing you want democrats leading. Policy, however, prevents Democrats from even sniffing the opportunity to do so in the foreseeable future. The Republican model of asking public schools to do more with less has taken Iowa from #1 in the nation to...

Is $400/acre cash rent a common standard? I struggle to see that penciling out this year. Agreement was signed Feb 2024. 50-acre, school district owned property east of Ankeny

Coyotes will run off with the heads, lots of meat in the neck area. More than once I have found heads several hundred yards away from the rest

Other side was a small, but very regular 4 point

Here is a summary of expert analysis for Iowa dating back numerous decades https://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/wholefarm/html/c2-70.html You can also dig into each annual summary to get averages for 9 regions of the state and individual counties. Those are broken down even further for high...

We got land three years ago and it's up 85%

Because there are landowners buying up the land strictly for agricultural purposes and making "improvements" such as clearing all the trees from waterways to increase crop yields. That, in turn, eliminates habitat for wildlife. Even if you don't get to hunt that specific parcel, the wildlife...

Massively under reported

My county DNR officer just had me text him pics and he mailed out a post card with each listed on it - 4x5, 5x5, etc..

I saw one two winters ago crossing hwy 37 into a cattle yard in western Iowa. It was very distinct and memorable, something one wouldn't confuse with any other critter. At the time, I didn't even know a gray fox existed but I looked it up as soon as I could

How dare you bring factual evidence into this?! Blame the Dems, always especially when it has anything remotely connected to ag or guns. Bottom line - capitalism for the individual will always run counter to the naturalist and conservationist. It's not a R or D problem but a money power...

Army Corp of Engineer land that is bordering the Missouri river. Nebraska already transferred their adjacent land to the tribe The red lake situation sounds awful. Those resorts and home owners can't possibly be given comparable/adequate compensation if they are forced off

Senator grassley (Iowa Republican senator for about fifty years for you out of staters) is a co-sponsor of this bill that would give 1500 acres in Woodbury and Monona counties to the Winnebago tribe. Sounds like it's a done deal. The house committee of natural resources (led by a Republican and...

Couldn't read this entire rant. You lost me completely when you suggested anything in Iowa is being led by a left leaning liberal. The problem is the insurance lobby and farm bureau are awful. They put profits above everything else and deer are a financial loser for them.

Interested in how the needle has moved 15 years later. Where are some of the better taxidermists and what are their rates? I suspect the rate hasn't risen as fast on mounts as it has on most other things. $450 back in 2008 rising at an annual 3% rate would be $700 today. I'm guessing that's...

Congrats, that's a beauty

Yeah, but once you fill your tag, you are tagged out and can't push the next drive. The group dwindles if they are hunting per the rules
