thank you all. Sligh, I may take you up on that. I am not in a major hurry and my biggest hesitation of doing it myself was weeding out serious people and going down there to meet people (or letting people check it out and then I have instant hunting competition). I have heard a lot of good...

HI All - unfortunately I may be in the market next year to sell my place in Van Buren Co.....100 acres of probably 40% timber, 40% native grasses and then a small hay field as well as a pond. Just curious if you all have experiences selling property and what the best balance of cost/time is...

thanks for investing your time to stay ahead of this stuff, well done.

cool looking bird, congrats....would love to get my boys close to one this weekend...been slow going the few times I have been out...not much gobbling close to us at all.

congrats!

awesome, thanks for the replies. my twin boys and I just brushed together a few different spots that we guessed would work and can move in and out of those, but we can also run and gun if we hear them. I don't have any low cut/green fields so to speak so I don't ever see them strutting around...

sorry, dumb question that my boys asked me last night in preparation for the weekend. Is there a time you should not start calling before? Wait for mornign light or just wait for the sounds of some gobbling? we setup some ground blind 2 weekends ago (just brushed in a few places), so we won't...

frightening how quickly this is happening and the size of the invasion of the southern border. The makeup of our country is going to look so much different just in 10 years. would love to hear some of your tirades on this, it keeps me awake at night the more I watch the shows on fox/cnn at...

awesome, thank you. Kind of feel the 'pressure' to at least see some and hear some since they are excited and the shows on sportsman channel make it look so easy. I know we have turkey down there, but I just have never hunted much for them but always wanted to. would like to see a few just to...

Haven't ever focused on hunting turkeys in the spring, always had other work and kids activities get in the way but this year my sons really want to go and we have been watching videos etc to sort of "have a clue" when we go out. Our place to hunt is in southern Iowa and we are up in the QC so...

I have not met another 'gun guy' that also hunts that doesn't have this same thought process (including myself)....beginning to think we are the silent majority. I feel/wish a conservative leaning state or Trump would enact some major conservation driven laws since that would sway a lot of...

this is spot on in my opinion (along with what mplane72 said). So many issues are "binary" issues these days and voting against this will be viewed as a vote against guns and may be tough to swallow for some R's. If the legislator reading the bill reads it through the lense of a 2a/freedom...

I am the one that "tipped off" Senator Chris Cournoyer to this forum. I can say for sure she will work hard on this bill and understanding the details around each side so I'd encourage you to write and show up in person since everything that crosses her desk has tons of information to be really...

I have rented from Kempkers (pretty sure that is the spelling) in Mt Pleasant before, not that type of equipment but close so maybe try them...(319) 385-1377

I have the same question and concerns with my timber. I want to cut and treat them all if I could. I walked my timber with a district forester and he basically said to leave them alone unless I was going to plant an area with new "good" trees. I will probably still cut some though. Although not...
