So a few people and myself are debating about the age of a deer. I have pictures of him in 2014 and 2016 to share. Please respond what age you believe the deer to be in each picture. I have harvest photo's as well just trying to get an idea what the community thinks. Thank you for your help.

The 2016-2017 deer season is officially over for me as I have filled my last tag on Friday. This year I took a new job quite a ways from my home. I really didn't think it was going to be a good hunting year for me as the job was going to dramatically decrease the time I could spend in the...

I don't post many pictures anymore but thought the community would enjoy this picture as much as I did.... Enjoy... Season will be here soon. If i had to guess he likes to be 140ish

I first saw this buck on my trail camera on my home farm early in the summer/fall. He was not consistent by any means, but I did have a good sense that he was in the area. Fast forward to archery season and the neighbor sent me a picture of the buck with an arrow sticking out of him...

Few more weeks and I think it will be time to start targeting cats. I finally got one big enough on camera that I feel willing to take. What are your thoughts on weight? Great to see them coming back year after year.

So I have been following this deer "longmire" for three years. He has never scored well, but guessing his age at 7.5 or older... Cool rack. He must have gotten and injury this year as his rack has changed. What do you think he weights? I just got his recent picture of him all puffed up...

This past Friday night I had the fortune of taking one of by good buddies from out of state hunting. He was in town for the day and just wanted to see some deer running. We got in the stand right after work Friday night and it wasn't long before we saw bucks chasing does. Getting close to...

For sale is a 2000's (I think) John Deere 450 tiller. I used this one season for my food plots behind my JD445. I have since bought a new subcompact tractor and new tiller so this one needs a new home. Pm Me if you are interested. Operates as it should. Great option for food plots or gardens.

Been watching this deer all summer but I have struggled with his age. Is he 3.5 or 4.5? Older? Thanks for your thoughts.

I have quite a unique deer running around on my farm this year. Last year he was on the top of the hit list, not for size, but for age. We found both of "longmire's" sheds mid January. Not sure if he made it through the winter/summer, I was eager to see him show. Now, his rack is much...

Just got my 2014 archery buck back from the taxidermist. Dan from Wildfeathers taxidermy does an outstanding job!

Taken today in Adair Co. Thoughts?

This year I worked hard on the land to plant food plots and enhance habitat on the farm that I hunt. I planted nearly 3 acres of food plots and ran cameras since the beginning of spring turkey season. I knew I had some nice bucks running around the farm, and I set my sights on a few different...

This year I planted approx. 3 acres of food plots on the property I hunt. It seems to have pulled a large number of deer back onto the property (post EHD). This year I have been running cameras hard, and I have had these two bucks since spring turkey season. Each buck has its benefits, but...

A hunting dream of mine has always been to manage land for wildlife. An opportunity finally presented itself to me, and I had the opportunity to put in food plots on the 160 acre farm I hunt. The landowner was excited about my passion for animals and wanted to help support as much as possible...

Just wondering how many Iowa hunters attempt to take deer with a long bow or recurve? For the past 3 years I have been practicing with a long bow...mostly for backup purposes. Last year was the first year I felt confident enough to try and harvest a deer. I was successful after many many...

I just got word from the taxidermist that my 2012 archery buck just got done. I haven't actually taken possession as the work was done in NE iowa and I am in central Iowa. My father snapped a few photos...I think he turned out pretty good. The taxidermist was really pleased with how he turned...

A good friend of mine had a great elk hunt this year and submitted his story to a magazine. Great story, thought I would share. http://soleadventure.com/2013/02/reader-story-learning-from-my-mistakes-by-jordan-seitz/
