I hunt in a local public area and in a private area when I want to drive to southern Ia. I definitely prefer the private but if it I have a choice of only hunting in public around home or not hunting I'm going to choose the public areas anytime. A few things to keep in mind in the public , it...

What a Hawg. What kind of score what you guess for that awesome buck? Nice job!!!

Can you be in the Blakesberg area this weekend? I plan on taking my monster buck and would really like some help dragging it to the truck. I'll gut it, if you drag. HaHa.

I hunted near Agency, 7 miles east of Ottumwa all day yesterday and seen 12 different bucks by noon. I saw 6 different bucks by themselves before I saw the 1st doe. I saw a big chase involving 2 bucks and 3 does at 11:30. It was a great day. I'm planning a trip back down on Saturday. Hopefully...

I haven't read anything to find out how to buy anything or how much a raffle ticket is. Where is your organization out of? How far from the headquarters do you help hunters in need? What do you have to do to qualify to get assistance? How do hear about the people in need? What does it take to...

The public land in Iowa isn't hunted extensively, maybe in the easy to get to areas. I hunt in public land and will continue to do so as long as I'm seeing an occaisional "Mossy Horn". All the people I meet on the paths are respectful because most of us realize we are on public land. By the way...

I've used them to turn small bucks around and make them take a second look. It has been late pre-rut and rut. Up to that time it has only been effective to have mature does to a look in the area. I keep mine available and made it part of the "essentials" to pack in.

Thanks for help and fun recipes. The American Harvest Express by Nesco is the dehydrator I have, it sounds like the same as the one mentioned by CamoMan. The 500 watts is much better than other inexpensive brands. There are certainly more expensive models out there but until I really get into it...

I got a dehydrator for X-mas because I have been wanting to try making some Deer Jerky. Does anybody have any good recipes that you would to share with me??

As long as hunters continue to kill other hunters during a slug season I don't think you'll see high powered rifle season in Iowa. The ML range is 200 yards max and that shot is questionable for killing deer. Just my opinion.

I just started in the ML area so I'm no expert by any means. But I have read a lot of posts on a different forum and would be willing to bet the cost difference is in the barrel. The quality of the barrels that aren't apparent to the naked eye, but affect the overall accurancy. People who own...

I'm seeing a few does out eating acorns. I have been watching 2 areas and in both areas I've seen small bucks. (1 spike, 1 double fork, 2 different 5 points). 1 came in and was pretty calm. The others were calm but they stayed out about 30-40 yards. Watched the spike tear up a small tree on...
