fox squirrels in a loving embrace! Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

My dad has stocked pheasants in several areas of northern iowa in the last 25 years. He puts them in areas w/ good cover and assumes many will die. If a few live & predators eat the released birds vs any wild birds, in a few years of repeated releases and decent weather there is a huntable...

I urban hunt and have to shoot 5 does a year to get a buck tag the following year. I started with the g5 montecs & shot many deer because i could sharpen & resharpen. I usually either saw the deer drop or blood trails were an issue. Also my arrow would pass through and bury 8 to 10 inches into...

Thank you for standing up for common sense deer management. Due to your involvement at the capital & you being a farmer, u known farm bureau & republican reps openly support these bills that are beneficial to nonresidents. These representatives are also to our benefit, strongly representing the...

If you think it would be any different to implement the use of crossbows in Iowa, you are kidding yourself. If the legislature approves a rule/law, then it is in place. The governor appointed Natural Resource Commision sometimes has some say in it but it is governor appointed for a reason. DNR...

yes the tss works great for me. Seems to hammer them & the smaller shot size puts more bbs in the kill zone. usually shoot 2 times a year. The price per shot does keep me from shooting coyotes when they come in. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

got one to beat it, this is in Iowa and yes i heard the conservation officer got called to check on it! This rascal didn't fit in the trunk Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

agree with what has been said. Doesn't hurt to stop by & b.s. when your around. Also before & after hunting. Don't just drive in and out, be personable. A lot of landowners that let me hunt like to hear about how it went, what you saw, etc Then they talk about the birds or deer they saw going to...

There are definitely pockets of birds in Iowa, we hunt in the kinda NWish area of Iowa. 10 to 12 years ago bad winters & wet springs pretty much wiped the birds out. A bunch of birds were released for several springs & summers until a few successive easier winters & dry springs allowed the...

slick your all good, thanks for the pics. I miss the Wisconsin grouse woods, sorta. that stuff gets thick! Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Thanks congrats on the monster buck! let me know when you wanna trade hunts! Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Done with deer until gun so figured some pheasant hunting pics would be appreciated. & yes that is a golden doodle! only been out twice this year Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

I know many on here may not care or agree but in the the larger realm of public opinion, which effects us all, I believe cell cams are looked upon as a unfair advantage over the quarry. I can't legally call my buddy & say hey stay in the stand a big boy is headed your way so why can a camera? I...

Depends, giant doe with 3 fawns unlimited range, probably walk into the field snorting. 6 pt buck during the rut, prolly end up at the base of the tree smelling your sticks. When I figure it out exactly, I'll sell it to everyone! Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Atleast bobcats don't kill turkeys[emoji849]! Not my trail cam video but the camera is 500 yards from one of the turkey spots i get to hunt & is recent. Not sure how the cat got the turkey, you can draw your own conclusions. I'll attach some video captures in case the video doesn't work. I'm...

I like the allow 2 residents to hunt part but absolutely impossible to enforce so I'll be emailing against. They could add 2 non family residents allowed to hunt for the current resident landowner tags requirements & I wouldn't be mad. But still impossible/nightmare to enforce. Sent from my...

I had two internships w/ the nrcs in college. We inspected every contract under 5 years old. Each got inspected & re inspected until a final sign off was given. Then left alone til expiration, unless complaints were received. FSA side of the office dealt w/ sign ups, we dealt with installation &...

I hunt semi-public bow by permit only & have had an issue with cameras walking off on their own. Probably not ur situation & it is bull you have to consider something like this on your own ground. But 5 years or so ago I started carrying 1 climbing stick & putting cameras up 10 to 12 feet. I...

Ha! Oh C'mon real bird dog? You were half right he is a golden doodle. He is 4 years old & I get him out 4 to 5 times a year in Iowa. I don't think there's been a hunt I haven't shot my limit with him. He is an ok bird dog & a great house dog with young kids. Hard to argue the results Sent from...
