I'm not a fan of Shipley overall, but I'm glad he mentioned shed poaching in there! Almost 100% of our trespassing issues are in the spring for sheds and mushrooms, Glad to see it and I hope to put it to use personally...

It exists. Nebraska is a good example. They have a statewide, season floating "restricted" (i.e. whitetail only) buck tag, open from September 1-Dec 31. I think its about $80 for residents and open to NR too, obviously at a much higher price point.

I've got two spots I hunt. Decent in southwest IA, private and public. Pockets of really good, pockets of pretty sparce. Very good in Appanoose county.

We've been hammered relentlessly with EHD each year but its some beautiful country and a decent amount of public. Maybe not the trophy buck density of say SE IA but it's been a great place to call home. Welcome to IA!

Ran into three nice bucks while turkey hunting, one I can recognize by his face and torn ear that will be 7.5++ this year. I was happy with the thick nubs but they had nothing like that yet!

Now that's a great way to get a feel for the state! If you ever make it to the southwest corner I'd be happy to buy you a beer and show you around the Loess Hills.

IBA,, ISC, and SKIP keep on winning in Des Moines! You all should be extremely proud of what you've done over the last two sessions especially. I'm just proud to simply be an IBA and ISC member. I would also encourage everyone to know when their representatives are having public forums. My...

Sounds like he's got a very fun and rewarding project at a good price. What county, if you don't mind me asking?

I loathe the "not paying their fair share" argument. Property taxes are the epitome of "you own nothing" government kick in the face

Tuned in. Get 'em Skip.

Adapted and sent. Does anyone know what the upcoming schedule looks like for this bill?

Agreed. I foresee the potential of "flat rate" type deals coming in the future. Possibly a sliding scale depending on the size of the property and marketing options that the sellers agent offers. Overall, I see this as a win for buyers and sellers. It gives them the power.

I could certainly see 3% becoming the norm. There's enough "small" realtors/brokerages that will be able to survive on 3% for land listings just fine.

Ken Corbet is the epitome of a slimy politician. Transferrable tags will ruin any semi-quality state. There's a lot of things that might degrade the hunting experience in Iowa, but transferrable tags would tank it overnight and make hunting for the average guy impossible.

Covid will certainly go down as the largest, quickest wealth transfer in modern history.

Legitimate question, no tone. What are the benefits to mowing waterways?

I figured but some people go overboard at each site. That's about the amount I put out per. Thanks!

^to be fair...pheasants forever chapters keep 100% control of their funds raised, which is a higher % than DSC chapters... I'm not here to start a pissing match but credit where credit is due. PF bought 350ac in Fremont county along the river and put it into public access a year or two ago...

Wow that's nuts...was the buyer one of the other two tract buyers or another neighbor?

I've had that thought too. In theory it makes sense to me but it would be the exception to the rule at this point in time, and just an educated guess for the future.
