Well, I've been at Fort Drum for about a month now. I've secured exclusive access to 400 acres of private land with a friend of mine. In exchange, we're cutting all of next year's wood for her. I was reviewing NY's game regulations and had to chuckle at the following quote: "A fishing or...

Well, the time has come. I was born in Iowa and have maintained legal Iowa residency over the course of the last 9 years. I've been living in Iowa for the last 4 years and I'm moving on. New York is the destination. Although it's one of the last states I ever want to claim, it's where Uncle...

I guess this could be considered a "poll" which can be incredibly annoying but I'm trying to find other archers in the Sioux City area. Are there any around here that frequent Iowa Whitetail?

I took roughly 90 lbs of meat to be processed last year at Thurston Locker in Thurston, NE. I had some salamis and some dried venison sandwich meat made up and had the rest ground up and blended with ground beef. My total cost was roughly $70 and that included close to 20 lbs of ground beef...

I'm looking for an arrow fletching tool--a QUALITY one and not one of those cheap-looking plastic "E-Z Fletch" deals. Ideally, I would be able to fletch 6 arrows at a time. Who makes the best one? Also, I'd like to find a tool specifically designed to cut arrows to proper length. Any...

I buy a Nebraska hunting license every year in addition to my Iowa hunting license because I like to hunt dove. I was driving through Carrol (sp?) yesterday and got in a discussion with an avid deer hunter. We talked about dove hunting and he told me that Iowa's dove population would not...

I'm looking for a dedicated archery shop that is a PSE dealer. I'm just wondering if anyone here buys their equipment/gear from Southern Archery in Spencer.

I've asked a lot of people and I've checked several vendors and nobody knows when deer tags go on sale. I can't find it on the DNR site. Does anyone know when the tags go on sale?

Yep, it's called counting chickens before eggs are hatched but I figured it would be wise in the rare chance that I arrow something that is "wall worthy". Pardon me if I sound crass. Silly mood tonight. From our collective experience with taxidermists, is there anyone in the Sioux City...

Ok....bowhunting for the first time this year. I've been shooting the you-know-what out of my PSE Predator using Beman ICS carbon arrows. I need to start selecting broadheads so I can have my dealer place some orders and am trying to decide what to test out. I've already purchased Muzzy...

I have to request my Oct-Dec vacation days this week and I am trying to decide when I should hunt this year. This will be my fourth year hunting in Iowa. I've hunted two late shotgun seasons and one muzzleloader season so far and I am going to be using a bow this year. I'm trying to figure...

I am shooting Beeman ICS Hunters and am about to give Blackhawk Vapors a whirl. I'm going to test Muzzy 100's, Montec (100 gr), and another mechanical (probably Rocky Mountain Snyper). How do you tune a broadhead to a carbon arrow? I have heard of people heating aluminum arrows and giving the...

I just shot my bow for the first time at Siouxland Sports & Archery here in Sioux City, IA (formerly located at KD Station). I've frequented the other places and I'll have to say that Siouxland Sports is top notch. I'm not trying to do a shameless plug here but the gentleman that runs that...

I don't come here a whole lot but have learned that the Iowa archery crowd is a great big group of incredible folks. The small businesses associated with the Iowa hunting sports have truly impressed me. Just when I thought I had seen it all, a small archery dealer in Cherokee, IA rose to the...

I was up in Sioux Falls, SD for work today and stopped at Scheel's to look at some arrows. I'll probably actually end up going to an archery shop to get the ones I want but I wanted to see what they had. One of the employees wrote a website address on a piece of paper ( www.turbonock.com ) and...

Okay, time to get some arrows for my first bow. Who makes the best carbon arrows for hunting? I'm not afraid to spend money.

Just pulled in to Camp Dodge last night. I'll be here until Friday evening. The only time I've ever been out this way has involved checking out gun shows and that's about it. Are there any good archery shops near Camp Dodge worth checking out? I have limited permission to use the...

I've been working until about 10pm every night lately and haven't gotten to go buy a tag for the late special season. Is there a website where one can go to find out what counties still have tags? I have some public land I want to try in Sioux County that I've checked out but I also have an...

I caught a bit of the Hawkeye game on Saturday. Our illustrious Governor started chatting up how great it was that Iowans were enjoying the pheasant opener. I guess it's okay to hunt pheasants but not doves. Then he really killed me. He said something about "firing off all them guns" in...

I got pulled into the First Sergeant's office today and was "invited" to voluntarily extend my time as a recruiter here in Iowa. I long for the day when I put on camouflage and do "soldier stuff" again but a lack of volunteers to extend their stay in recruiting could bring about a mandatory 12...
