    Vortex - lifetime warranty service

    Vortex customer service is awesome. It's one thing when a product malfunctions or is damaged through no fault of the owner and they replace it, it's a whole other level when the owner is an idiot and they still replace it. Here's my experience with them....... After deer season ended this...

    Cost of a shoulder mount in IA?

    That's another thing. Do I get my deer back by spring-early summer? Or am I in a treestand again the next fall and still not in possession of my deer? That's worth paying an extra Benjamin or two in my opinion.

    Cost of a shoulder mount in IA?

    Opened this thread and didn't pay attention the the dates for a second.... was about to go looking for a new taxidermist at those prices! I've taken several to Marlin Hoch and they've always turned out nice. He's around $900 as of last year. It's well worth the money on a big one but I also...

    No Doe shooting for ME…. U guys down?

    My area is way down. I'd guess 40%. Ringgold County. And like others have said, as recently as mid summer numbers seemed normal. Constantly on the brakes when driving at night, deer everywhere in the evenings, etc. But things have gone downhill through late summer into fall. I've never had so...

    Hunter Internet comments that drive me INSANE!!!!

    Saw a video the other day of a pretty good buck that had been run to the point of exhaustion by deer "hunters" running dogs. The video started with the guy videoing walking up to the buck as it was either laying in a crick or standing in the crick in water up to its belly. Mouth hanging open...

    Human Urine

    I say let'r rip. To them, I feel like piss is piss. I just don't see how deer could ever differentiate between all the types of urine they come across in their day-to-day lives. There are so many critters taking a leak in the woods... squirrels, coons, coyotes, bobcats, opossum, mice...

    How early

    Ok, so I'm not the only one!

    How early

    Interesting. Maybe I am ruining every hunt I go on but I'll use a headlamp for most of my walk in. Full white beam pointed right at the ground and oriented so that my feet, arms, body, bow, gear, etc. all stay out of the light. Switch to red when I get to the tree but will climb without if i...

    Lease Prices - New Level of Insanity

    Stuff 19k away every year for few years in a row and you'd have a down-payment for the same farm. Someone make it make sense. More money than brains, I think.

    THE PLAN TO KEEP IOWA GREAT- CALL TO ACTION!

    Skip, Appreciate everything you're doing. Enjoyed the talk on the HUNTR podcast a couple weeks ago with Chris Dunkin. Out of town for the next few days but will get a reminder set to come back to this thread and contribute.

    Honest concern with Youth Hunter bucks shot…

    Definitely agree with letting the kids show the interest on their own. I don't have kids yet but I see ALL. THE. TIME. where it is SOOOO obvious that the kid is living their parent's dream (usually dad's). Dad was a good football player, he wants junior to be a good football player. But...

    Honest concern with Youth Hunter bucks shot…

    I agree with a lot of what's been said already. Kids so small that they can't hold or even carry the gun themselves, using a tripod that grips and holds the gun rock solid for them, to kill an animal.... when the same kid will cry when the goldfish they've had for three days dies. How well do...

    Fawn pics…

    Old picture but to this day it is still one of the best pictures I've ever had on a trail camera.
