    Non Resident Youth

    The bottom line is Iowa is a great state for whitetail hunting because of how they approach managing the states herd. ..Almost every great hunting area or farm in this world has one thing in common and that is it has restrictions in some way. ..if you allow a free for all like most public lands...

    Wildgame Innovations customer service is TERRIBLE

    Reconyx have never let me down!! Takes 20,000 pics on 12 lithium AA s and their new Verizon Cell Cams are the best out there for email/text purposes! Zero white/black images or pics without deer! And I own 20 of them! They are spendy but well worth the money if you are looking for cameras that...

    Deer density question answered

    My main farm is 2/3 cover to 1/3 ag and has plenty of food. I would estimate my DPSM in the summer/fall is about 75 and winter levels at 125 DPSM...with the right habitat/area/food its very possible.

    New bill SF 2047

    I only used the flood gate scenario to compare Iowa to MN(and other states that allow open access to NR). The root of the whole problem right now in both states is the deer population. Without good deer numbers the age structure will suffer in any state!

    New bill SF 2047

    Hardwood...yes the gun season placed outside the rut in Iowa is the other main contributor to a good age structure in Iowa's deer herd(bucks). But that in itself is a hunt timing restriction of sorts compared to other states. I still own my farm in MN(have for the last 20 years), I know what the...

    New bill SF 2047

    I grew up in MN and moved to Iowa. #1 reason was because of the deer hunting. The ONLY reason Iowa is so good is because it is restricted! Just like private land is usually better than public,and why slot limit lakes have better fishing! I feel for people that grew up and moved away but those...

    2014 rule change

    Some of you may think that only allowing each hunter 1 any sex tag per year is ridiculous and will never happen, but I see it as a very real possibility! Many states currently only allow one buck per hunter, and with the deer population going down and nothing being done about it despite the...

    Iowa House OKs Crossbow Hunting

    The way I read the article it says "Late Season". So does this mean guys with muzzle and/or archery tags can use a crossbow during the late season?

    Is there a farmland bubble?

    I think land will stay strong for a very long time! Yes, there could be a slight correction but it shouldn't be severe. Most of the land(till & rec) is all or mostly paid for and every year that goes by more land is in less hands....and those people are paying cash!! And in most areas its still...

    ltl acorn 5210 mm trail camera

    I have 4 of them.... Pros: As long as you can get good reception they work well. Perfect tool for monitoring your hunting property for trespassers and shed poachers. Small, camo, and pretty reliable....and at only $270 it won't totally break the bank. Cons: Even tho they take high res...

    coyote hunters and their dogs.

    Every time there is a thread like this it amazes me at how many people try to find fault with the landowner or person that has permission to hunt the property. The bottom line is it's up to all hunters(and in this case dogs) to stay the hell off of places they don't belong! Its a bunch of $hit...

    Looking for a new farm times running out

    Auctions are actually a great way to sell when the demand is high on anything! And right now that is the farm land market. Good tillable that is being sold at auction is bringing more than it would if it was listed(in most cases). It creates a competetive atmosphere and therefore people get...

    Shotgunners?

    The common theme that i see here is LACK OF DEER! The fact is in most areas the numbers are way down form what they were. And with fewer sightings and opportunities there will be more unhappy hunters and the problem will continue to snowball! And the excuses that go along with it...

    Blue Tongue

    Ehd hit many areas very hard, but I doubt that is the issue in ne Iowa, especially if there aren't dead deer laying everywhere. Too many does being harvested year after year thruout the state is the main contributor...and throw in ehd in the southern 1/2...recipe for a very very low population...

    Partition Fence/Possible Hunter Harassment Issue

    Since you share the fence I would say he could probably do what he wants with his half and you with yours as long as its maintained. As far as cutting the upper portion of a few spots you might be ok but you also might be liable for damages too...either way good luck to you ! I have seen...
