    I do know from talking to some guys down here in MO recently that some of the new contracts allow for 120 days worth of grazing every year. So I wouldn’t doubt that alfalfa would count as a crop now also. Not many run alfalfa much any more compared to 30 years ago. P and K are so expensive...

    Iowa must be a lot more open on CRP. Down here in MO only beans corn wheat etc are going to get put into a new CRP contract and it has to have been in so many years out of so many years. No way would hay, alfalfa, clover, etc count as a year for anything towards CRP.

    Best Alfalfa Variety For Deer

    We used to have 80 acres of it. The last 12 years since 2012 we have had none. We had "alfagraze" which was an expensive variety 25+ years ago. All I know is that they loved it! Turkeys too! Every year my spring gobbler was shot in the edge of an alfalfa field and their craw was jam packed full...

    Best Alfalfa Variety For Deer

    If you have much alfalfa at all you CANNOT throw more seed at it like said above. It kills the new seedlings out. Alfalfa does good in droughts as far as survival goes. Alfalfa does NOT like wet feet. In other words worry about too wet before even pondering about drought. I have seen lush...

    Wisconsin Bans doe hunting

    The Feds and the antis want the deer herd decimated. That will slow or stop hunting tradition over time. It will also force the wolves to travel. They want them back in all 48 states. Sound nuts? It is, but they have long term goals. No hunting, no guns, and many would like no people on this earth.

    Is that good alfalfa? I have thought about trying some of that myself in Jan and Feb to maybe get more sheds on my ground. Do they eat it much?

    What part of Iowa? Northern half or souther half? I am in northern MO. Dying to start looking but hate to bump bucks out of timber.

    “I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HUNT MY LAND AS NR EVERY YEAR!!!”

    Iowa used to be shotgun and muzzle loader only....long before muzzleloaders became as accurate as center fires. Missouri has never allowed party tags and I am glad, because many people down here would fill every tag they could. Filling tags with a 7 mag at 400 yards would be a lot easier than...

    “I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HUNT MY LAND AS NR EVERY YEAR!!!”

    Thirty five years ago I thought Iowa must have different northern deer genes. Now I think MO could be king if they would move the season to December. The number of almost Booners we have is amazing until gun season opens on the 10th of November right in the hard core rut. Most of what you see on...

    Brutal weather coming

    Brutal is for sure. Maybe the nice easy December will have helped some bucks get back in better shape before this hit. How any animal survives is beyond me.

    Blood thirsty savages everywhere!

    Tackett and Wyatt went out about two days ago as they were making good use of a snow day and called a big male in. I think they said it weighed 37 lbs. Tackett is 15 now and 6’3” with boots on for size reference.

    Blood thirsty savages everywhere!

    Ours are 640 Pulsar Thermion XG50s with a base mag of 3X. My boys have really figured out how to adjust brightness and contrast to get great image quality. Conditions of temperature and humidity are different every night, and therefore to get the best the scope can offer you have to adjust it to...

    Hypothetical: if money was no object

    Is that also called the Ladder Ranch? Thats where they held mountain lion workshops for the game departments of the east.

    Ditto! I have had the same thought.
