It was the last day of youth season, and the first day of the 2011 bow season. I took my little sister out to a farmers ground that morning to try to get her first deer, after sitting for about and hour and a half a little spike buck came through, she raised the gun and dropped him, when its...

I know this isn't new, I just can't find it (which makes me less than happy with our DNR!!!). I was wondering what the site was that showed the deer harvest county by county. Thanks!

Everywhere I go, I hear about the numbers being down (it has been very true in our group this year). I was thinking of starting a thread to see how many tags your group started their gun seasons with, and how many unused tags you had left at the end of the season. Also, if you are willing to...

Can someone please remind me why the DNR thought this was such a great idea?! This has got to be a poachers dream come true! I was also wondering how many of you heard slugs banging yesterday.

I started a thread like this last year and it seemed like we had a lot of fun with it. It was meant to keep us up to date on what was going on when we couldn't be out and wished we were. I live in SE Iowa and actually had a really good buck hounding a doe last Saturday night, and she wanted no...

There was a lot of talk about the lack of deer numbers during the archery season...I was just wondering how this played out during 1st season gun (what were the numbers like, and what was the quality of your hunt during this first season). FYI our group (5 total) hunted today like we have many...

I have been reading where many are seeing lower deer numbers (myself included). I had a few years where I participated in the hunt at Lake Darling to reduce doe numbers. Isn't it interesting that the same DNR who is caving to Farm Bureau and the insurance groups, would only allow two days...

Just a quick note if anyone is wondering what is going on...had a mid 160's on his feet and coming in at 5 in the afternoon today. I didn't know it, but my son had come home from school and slipped into a stand at 4...saw lots of action, and a really good buck breed a doe around 5 in the...

I know this has been asked a million times, but they keep coming out with new ones, and I haven't bit the bullet yet...just wondering what you would recommend when you combine price, quality, and battery life...thanks a bunch!!!

Hey...I was just wondering what everyone was seeing right now. I had three mornings where it was just wild. Then yesterday there were a few deer moving. I still have lots of does with their fawns, so I know it is mostly just beginning around here. With the temps warming up during the day...

Here's the long story...short...had an olddd cull buck come by at 4:00...there was no way he was going to take the course he did...less than 5 yrds from the stand...he did...and he walked becauce he was so close then went straight away. Five minutes later, the same thing except this time the...

There is a post on here right now addressing scent eliminators, and another one on wind direction. One of the thing that I think has been interesting to observe is to watch wood smoke from the stove of my neighbors, and ours included the past few years. There are times when the smoke rises and...

We have really enjoyed the benefits of a group of neighbors all holding off at shooting smaller and marginal deer. I just want you to know it is harder when you're in a tree! Tonight I let a good 3 1/2 yr old walk...he was a 9 probablly in the low 150's. He gave me a 15 yrd chip shot...and...

I found this post on MSN this morning...it's about a boy being attacked by a deer as he goes to retrieve his football in the woods yesterday...sounds like they're getting frisky in Ohio!!! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33291020/ns/us_news-weird_news/

I was just wondering what the sightings have been on trail cams, and what your opinions were on the high winds we had on Monday...at least here in SE Iowa. My son and I hunted a great cornfield edge with heavy bedding all around it, and only saw three deer. The last time there were four times...

I live in southeast Iowa, and the wind has been a mess today...I was just wondering if anyone has heard when it was going to break?!?! With these cold temps coming in...the first calm morning or evening should have things on their feet, so was just curious if anyone has heard?!?! Thanks!

What a great place to live! It's almost hard to believe that another bow season is almost over. We've still got two afternoons before they hole up...I was just wondering what people are seeing as far as movement...I was still seeing some pretty rutty action just the night before last...so...

I live in southeast Iowa, and I was just curious what a person could expect to pay for a good quality deer mount. thanks.

I was just wondering how the rut was progressing in your area (whereever that is in the state). I am in southeast Iowa, and this morning seemed like one of those to kick things in gear. I'm still seeing a lot of does be very casual, so I know they haven't been harassed too much. I was just...
