I have two loans from FCS. Both are 25 year and both on vacant woods, no tillable. I just did a rate adjustment down to 4.07%, Dividend is usually around 17-19%. I have had only good experiences with them!

The Democratic party has changed so much over the years that they have pretty much committed political suicide as far as I'm concerned. Trump is not a Politician, he is a Patriot who runs the country like a business and for the most part its working. He will get two more votes from my house this...

Some nice Bridges I've heard...

I have bow hunted public ground on the Allamakee/Winneshek county line area three years and shot a decent buck each time. I have since bought my own ground in VanBuren county and bow hunted it one season and although I saw some nice bucks I did not close the deal. NE Iowa is much more scenic and...

100% agree! Inflation doesn't discriminate...

The nice thing about mortgage payments, they stay the same for 25-30 years. Unaffected by inflation....

OK, so mid 90's. That's about what I thought. When I was there in 2003 for Barry Wensels Whitetail Bootcamp, there were several people in class who had already hunted as non-res. Wensels had been hosting hunts for at least a couple of years. There was a local guy in class with us that mentioned...

What was the first year that Iowa allowed non-resident deer hunting and what were timber prices before this happened? I bought my ground in 2012 and now I'm told it could be worth double what I paid. I remember the first time I went to Iowa in 2003 there was Timber ground for sale for as low as...

Don't call a C.O. ask for a Sherriff Deputy. I'm a Reserve Deputy and I can tell you from experience that we are a lot tougher on trespassers. We write tickets and tow vehicles!

It's been a while so I'm playing catch up but here are some answers to some of the questions. Me: I'm divorced, no kids, just turned 50. Plan to move to Iowa in about 10 years mostly for the lifestyle and hunting. I bought my ground 6 years ago with 25% down, money I had been saving for about...

You don't have to be rich to buy a small piece of land. 6 years ago I bought a 110 acres of timber with a couple of small food plots for 2k an acre, it's now easily worth 3k/acre, probably more. I have a 25 year mortgage at a little less than 5% APR after rebate. I also have a home mortgage on a...

If you don't live on or near it post it! It will save you a lot of "misunderstandings".

I bought 3 sets last fall and I have several sets of the LW's. I like the XOP so far but the versa button and strap set up on the LW is better and easier to use INMO.

Cant tell you how many times I have watched deer lick each others nose/mouth area while greeting. But its a lot! Removing licks will do nothing to stop CWD.

Work in R&D Pilot Plant for Dow Styrofoam. Also volunteer as a Reserve Deputy Sheriff and Range Officer. Have a bit of land in SE Iowa where I plan to move after retirement in about 12 years...

I once hunted NE Iowa during thanksgiving week and it was surprisingly good. Daylight activity starts to increase on my place in SE Iowa the last week of October and it seems that most of November is good.

So last year I got a call from a friend who was raving about his Ozonics unit. He was telling me about some great encounters he was having with deer coming in from downwind of his stands. This guy is very frugal and I was shocked when he told me he spent $400 on an Ozone machine and he was...

How do I find a forester? Any recommendations for SE Iowa? Thanks!

Really? He is kinda gross!

with Lakosky's anymore? He is on every other show. Drury's, Spook Spann, etc. Makes you wonder if the rumors are true.... I was told he was planning to buy property with Lakoskys a few years ago. Never happened.... Just saying...
