My youngest son Mitch waited to the last half hour of the last day of the late muzzleloader season to fill his tag. Made a perfect shot on this beautiful buck. 110 yards double lung. Not sure what was better, the hunting experience or the ear to ear smile he was sporting after finding the...

Anyone know the exact age requirements for youth turkey season? I did a search on Iowa DNR, I know its there, just can't find it. Thank you.

Just got back from taking my two boys down to Van Buren county for the late rifle doe season, hunted public land with absolutely no luck at all. Does anyone know of a list of private land that landowners sign up on to have people come in and hunt doe's, or anything similar? Thank you for any...

I would like to get a early muzzleloader doe tag, however when I try to buy one, the computer will not let the transaction go through. The county I am trying to buy one from still has over 1000 tags available. Anyone know a reason why the system won't let the tag through? Thanks,

My youngest son broke his arm during football practice. He was more upset about not getting to bow hunt than missing football. A friend suggested we get a cross bow, talked to the doctor, no problem. My question is, anyone have any experience with a cross bow? If so, what is a good cross...

My youngest just broke his right arm during football practice. He is bummed about not being able to play football, but he is heart broke about not being able to youth deer hunt. Anyone ever try to teach someone quickly to shoot left handed? Any good advice would be appreciated.

Went to bed last night thinking there was no way my son Mitchell and I would be getting out this morning because of the severe weather, but we both wished for the best and went to bed. I got up checked the weather, and unbelievably, the rain had stopped, so off we went. Went to our first...

Anyone know of any public land that would be good to hunt the late doe season in Allamakee, Winneshiek, or some of the southern counties that still have doe tags? I would like to take my boys out for the late season, but I am not familiar with any public land in these counties. Thank you for...

Despite the weather, had just about as good a time as anyone could have over the last weekend. Both of my boys shot great mature bucks, the scenery was beautiful, and the hosts were awesome as usual. On top of all of it, my boys got along like friends....(dads know what I mean). The picture...

Took my youngest out Saturday afternoon. Didn't start out the best, as I forgot the mosquito repellant, never had such a mosquito problem in Iowa before, it was so bad we almost left. Mitch was steadfast and wanted to stick it out, so after a few hours and a careful stalk, he made a perfect 80...

My son just picked up our mounts. Darrin Brinks did them, just like always he did a fabulous job!

Did you all see "Saskguy" in the latest Big Buck magazine edition? Great story and fantastic pictures. Congrats again Kaare, what a fantastic buck.

My youngest made a fantastic shot on this big Doe. It was one of the cold snowy afternoons when the sound was magnified, and the deer were extremely jumpy. This big doe and two yearlings were on their way to feed when the passed within thirty yards of our double tree stand, Mitch had to turn...

I'm looking to buy a Long Bow, have wanted one for a few years, but I know absolutely nothing about them. I saw a few at a rendezvous I went too, but don't know if they were good or junk. Any advice or direction would be appreciated. Thanks

Check out this Bruiser a friend harvested over the weekend. This guy has it all, mass, width, points, and a dropper. Best of all, it was a very clean harvest and he went down and expired within sight. Even more impressive to me is how much the guy who harvested this bruiser feels honored to...

Just read an article about Scott's hook release, that it was designed for string loop shooters. Anyone have any experience with this release? Thanks for your input.

Anyone have an opinion on which is more effective? Or is there no difference? Thank you for your input.

My youngest Son and I had a fantastic youth Deer Season that culminated in his picture perfect 70 yard shot on a big doe. I was so proud of him, he passed on atleast two decent bucks because he was not comfortable with the angle the bucks were at, and patiently waited for this doe to offer a...

My son made this for me from a Turkey we harvested while hunting together last year. Words can't describe how much it means to me.

Please keep Darrin Brinks (Brinks Taxidermy) and his 10 month old baby boy in your prayers, unfortunately his young wife passed away last Tuesday. Darrin is a fantastic person and a real asset to the hunting/fishing community. His wife supported him and all his outdoor activities.
