    Lead shot on State Management Lands

    Not sure if this should be posted somewhere else. I received a FoxPro caller for xmas and am anxious to try it on some crows next week when the season opens again. I plan to swing into these public grounds, setup, call them in, shoot and be gone from each place within 30 minutes. I have...

    AZ Elk Success

    My son shot his first elk in September. Took 6 years to get drawn, we chased bugles for 6 days before connecting on this 5x6. Last December my other son scored on a spike bull on day 6 of his rifle hunt. 40 yards with a PSE Bow Madness and Thunderheads I have 8 bonus points so maybe I'll be...

    Paying for Hunting land

    Off and On I have wanted to buy some ground for hunting. I always had funds in my 401K's and equity tied up in my home, but never enough cash sitting in the bank to buy 40 or 80 acres. I switched jobs a few years ago and rolled one of my 401K accounts into an IRA. And now I am reading about...

    Indianola Locker

    I have an opening day doe ready for processing. I have used the Indianola Locker in the past. The salamis and sticks are great but their prices are high. I know Indianola shipped the meat to another locker to be processed. Anybody know where they ship it to? I have heard it might be...

    How far do you go to keep the deer on your land?

    I live in an acreage area, I call it horseyville, every one has a 4-7 acres and some horses, I have 7 and no horses. I have a neighbor #1(our properties are joined, he has a 12 acres total) who has timber on his land and he lets me bowhunt. Not surprisingly it is only good during the rut, the...

    Been awhile: Equipment Question: range finders

    Haven't been on here in awhile, like a few years, but remembered my password. Not sure if protocols have changed. What are everyone's opinion on the Angle Compensators for range finders? Bushnell ARC or Leupold TBR? They worth it? Have bushnell yardage pro scout now and seems OK, I don't...

    I've been away for awhile an haven't been on here. Actually I lost my hi speed internet and it took forever to download these pages. I lost my el primo hunting spot and while looking for another place I came across a few nice spots that were leased to non-residents. I think I am ready to...

    Cleaning old fletch & glue

    I got a Arizona EZ Fletch for carbon, early Xmas gift. Now I can refletch a bunch of arrows with cut vanes. What is the best way to remove the old fletch and glue? I didn't want to scrape it with a razor, didn't know if that would/could damage the arrow. Acetone? Any secrets? I know if I...

    Jealous

    I haven't been on the board this year until today. I started building a house in June and am at the do-it myself phase of finishing millwork, setting cabinets and installing the flooring. I am jealous as hell of everybody who has the time to hunt hard. I went out opening day for the urban...

    Blind Sow Hypothetical Question

    This is hypothetical based on the Locked Bucks in Tama County. Apparently this case was during shotgun season and you could party hunt and same guy shoot both bucks and use someone elses tag. But what about a male bowhunter during bow season finding a pair of locked bucks and shooting one, the...

    Winter Tactics

    Hunt them the same way you would on Oct. 1st. You have to pattern them and get between the bedding area and food. May get some luck hunting the does, seems like a buck will check in and out at times with does in the late season. The monster I'll be chasing with muzzleloader is almost 100%...

    Am I a computer moron?

    OK, so it took me 10 minutes to find the poll on the homepage. The homepage is wider than the settings for my monitor so I had to scroll over to see it. I never knew all that stuff on the right side of the screen was even there! I always just click on conference and go. Then I spent 10...

    Trolling Buck

    Here is the story. It's been a bad season for me, you may remember my broadhead question and problems I had with my arrows. So I switched to lighter arrows and went back to thunderheads on Nov. 9th. I had been seeing all kinds of 100 - 120 class 8 pointers, but was holding out. Finally...

    Did I find your deer's blood trail this AM?

    I was walking out of my hunt area this morning and came across a blood trail. It was close to the boundary so I didn't think much of finding it. The blood was darker red and I followed it 50 yards expecting to find a gut pile, but kicked up the deer. Unfortunately all I saw was the tail. The...

    Broadhead Question

    I always shot aluminum arrows with thunderheads. They were a deadly combination. When I switched to carbon arrows I couldn't get consistent groups with the thunderheads. Archery shop said my broadheads were "planing" and causing inconsistency. I needed to switch to mechanical broadheads. I...

    Anybody got a straight scoop on the cougar sitings in Dallas county, Earlham area. My friend says the County conservation staff got a cast of the paw prints. Are they a protected species in Iowa or could a guy harvest one?
