I'm sure some of you have noticed that I've been posting on Iowa Whitetail less frequently the last few years. Part of that was due to the time demands of running a retail gallery. That will soon change. Marcia and I are in the process of changing the way we run the business. In brief...

Anyone have any information or experience with putting a foam marker on the booms for a quad sprayer? What works? What doesn't? Cost? I'm tired of trying to figure out where I've sprayed and where I haven't. Old Buck

I've had great luck with both corn and soybeans individually in food plots. Now I'd like to try both planted together. Has anyone tried this and if so how did you do it and how did it work? I have a 4 row corn planter and a 6' drill available. Both corn and beans will be roundup ready...

Iowa Whitetailers, I need help! I’ve completed a painting that among other things will be used for fund raising for Pheasants Forever. Thanks to a number of very helpful game farm folks I was able to get hundreds of flying pheasant shots as reference. The problem is that I also need another...

OK, you guys have convinced me that I need still more equipment to put in food plots. What can you tell me about tillers? I've got a AGCO Allis 5670. I think it is 73 hp. What size tiller can I pull? Do I need to look at new equipment or is there good used stuff out there? Advice on brands...

I have a 7' brush hog that is great for maintaining trails in the woods and mowing lanes. The problem is when I mow my clover patches it tends to pile clipped material in the tire tracks and can smother strips of vegetation. With the 7' width I'm also laying down a lot of the stuff I'd like to...

I just got my first deer of the year and it is a buck! Made a solid hit and he went down right away. I usually shoot most of my deer with a bow so the loud bang and all the smoke were unusual and surprising. Really stunk too, just like when you shoot a muzzleloader. Sometimes when I shoot a...

I was just reading about a weed spray called Slay sold by the Whitetail Institute that they say will kill a variety of weeds but not hurt their legumes or some food plot species. Here is what they say... Slay the Broadleaf Weeds in Your Food Plot Slay herbicide was developed by the Whitetail...

Some years it takes me all season to get two gobblers with a bow. This year it was a lot faster. I went out yesterday, April 13, about an hour before sunset to start my 2005 season. About a half hour before sunset five long beards came in to my yelps. A lucky shot put one down. This...
