    Planting sunflowers

    We plant a lot with either the 4 or 8 row 30” JD 7000. depending on the size. Normally burn down then notill. The clearfield traited seed will give more options for broadleave weeds. We always spray Metoclor as a preemergent. i have never changed the population from its normal setting of 32,000...

    Real estate commission lawsuit - changes coming!!?!?!

    The off market deals do happen quite a bit. If a seller lists with an Agent that is not a member of an MLS then they can keep it to themselves or market it in any way they see fit. If the listing agent is a member of a local MLS the listing must be online within 24 hours of the signed listing...

    Real estate commission lawsuit - changes coming!!?!?!

    I am a our United Country Realestate Conference right now in Texas. This has been the main topic of conversation. After sitting in hours of meetings my understanding is that this whole case revolves around offers of compensation on the MLS. The settlement states that offers of compensation can...

    Comparing recreational property costs….

    If you were going to change the question to “What would 80 acres of timber cost“? I would think Iowa and Illinois would be similar followed by Missouri then Kansas. A lot of variables in each State, a lot of the difference would be the amount of Property for sale “supply”.

    Game feeders

    Removing all bait/feeding from Sept 1 thru the end of the season would be the best way to manage this going forward. Hunting over bait is one of the most common poaching issues I see. It always amazes me to see how brazen some people are with it. With all the CWD concerns I am surprised they...

    Elk in Iowa

    It was a strange deal we first got pictures in mid Oct near Mystic then we had him in early Nov near the Albia Airport. Then in mid/late Nov we had him back at Mystic. This was 16 miles straight line distance. I am sure you can shoot Elk if they are your property same as a Whack-A-Pet hunting...

    Elk in Iowa

    The elk that was posted in a few of the above posts I had pictures of on a farm near Mystic and a farm near Albia it was the same Bull for sure. our Monroe county Game warden said it was shot east of Albia trying to get INTO an elk pen.

    Speaking at classic & ISC dinner- suggestions on Keeping iowa great?

    i would say focus 75% on the need for building a strong defense to prevent change. The 25% could be to advocate for one change that may do the most good for the entire state. If I was to pick one thing it would be remove the late doe season.

    This is a gate way bill to allow for Transferable Landowner tags. Also terrible billl from an enforcement stand point.

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

    There are 4,500 nonresident antlerless only tags For Gun 1/2.These are divided between all the county’s that have Antlerless tags. If you watch the county quota there is no coincidence that the popular Big Deer county’s sell out first. Using the Metric of Nonresident Land owners I know 90% have...

    SF 255- more OUTFITTER TAGS!!!

    The lack of any Licensing or Regulations is one of stronger points in stopping this Bill. The other point made was this would allow NonResident hunters who hunt with Outfitters to jump to the front of the line ahead of everyone else with preference points. It was great to meet Phil Jeneary who...

    Season over December 31

    I would agree with either closing the season for a week or so after 2nd Gun or ending all seasons on 12/31.what I would really prefer is to remove scopes from muzzleloaders. A few other states have done this recently. Something needs to change to allow more bucks to survive to maturity on a...

    Wyoming Elk

    I have hunted Wyoming a few times. The last Elk hunt I went on in WY was at Wagon Hound. It was an incredible experience. Problem is it is crazy expensive and also takes 13 points. I have hunted Arizona and New Mexico many times but that was the best overall quality elk hunting experience I have...
