I am a landowner and a serious deer hunter. I take a tremendous amount of pride in my property and spend countless amount of time and energy in habitat improvement and providing good hunting for my family. I do not own the deer that pass through my property or spend time on my land. I believe...

I am using three different cellular cameras and testing quality. I am using Spartan, Browning and Tactacam Reveal. The Spartans have incredible quality and reliability but pricey to run. I would like to hear some other opinions on people running 15-20 cameras.

It was the GT-77 ATV

I purchased one at The Iowa Deer Classic and used it for the first time this week. I basically bought it for spreading clover seed, which I hear is the most difficult seed to find a feeder that spreads properly. I think it’s a great product, and worked just like it should. It was pricey, but I...

For so many of us on this site,deer hunting is more than just a hobby. It’s a passion that we are involved in before the season starts and long after the season ends. I can speak for myself and say that my obsession with Bowhunting at such a young age taught me perseverance, structure, respect...

I sent letters yesterday to members of the Iowa Legislature apposing SF-175. I did receive a couple of responses already. Liz Bennett is not in favor of this bill and let me know she did not vote for it even though is passed through with the majority. I also heard from Art Staed who also does...

I have no problem with the disabled hunters having the right to use a crossbow. The issue that we are facing is the how easy it is to get a doctor to sign off on the note needed to get the permit. A doctor has no problem signing one of these. People are abusing this issue. It's terrible for the...

It is so important to contact our politicians. Speaking up about things we are not in favor of does make a difference. When decisions are made by people that don't hear the voices of the hunters and have limited knowledge of our sport, it becomes easy for all of this to become a Runaway Train...

I do wish hunters that oppose this late season would voice their opinion. It really does make a difference.

My intention of this post was not to be about AR by definition, as I am not opposed to the gun. I have one and really enjoy shooting it. I was interested in hearing the opinions of hunters on why high-capacity rifles be used during our late deer season. I know some states had a 3 round capacity...

This post may start some adversarial responses which is not my intention. I want to hear opinions from other hunters. I do realize that not everyone is a trophy hunter and take to woods for other reasons than harvesting a Boone and Crocket Whitetail. I myself am a serious trophy hunter and have...

The only question I have is how do you ride this bike in the morning completely dark with a bow. I really never felt comfortable with a bow rack and my bow bouncing around in the holder. What are the options. I feel riding one handed is asking for trouble. Any feedback would really help out...

Can someone reccomend a contractor to burn my CRP? Davis and Monroe County

This is a ridiculous law. It gives anyone a way into private land. The tracking law allows anyone tracking a deer permission to enter private land. What makes this a terrible law is because there does not have to be an active blood trail. This is 100% true. If the deer are on your land during...

I do realize that not all of us are Trophy hunters and that "Trophy" is subjective, but there would still hunting opportunities for antlerless deer. I am throwing this idea out there just to hear some feelings from some other deer hunters. I was just seeing opinions I dont feel it was Greed...

I shoot my 30-30 alot Dont want to insult you I know what it is like, I sold 15 boxes of Remington Copper Solids for a ridiculous amount

I can't help thinking what our deer hunting would be like if we went to a one buck quota. The state could still provide increased doe tags to achieve the goals of deer harvest. I believe we have the biggest deer in the nation and this would change the age class of buck harvests. The trophy...

All the Non resident hunters I have met have the attitude that they rather go home empty handed rather than shoot something they could shoot in their state. I really have not experienced the attitude of having to kill something to fill a tag. I actually see more "If its Brown its Down" from the...

Sad. This is a failure of Parenting! Parents take control of your kids and take them away from the computer. We are seeing a decline in the ability for our youth to have any social skills. I believe its an addition that kids simply have no idea what to do if they are not on the computer. As For...

I understand the point of pursuing game and being an ethical hunter. We all need to be ethical ,and without the responsibility for the animal we love and respect ,there becomes the difference of "Hunter and Killer". I do however feel it is not fair for a Landowner when there is a situation of...
