The deer walking around the Iowa City area back in the early 2000’s was impressive! My parents dropped me off at the remote parking lot where I kept my car. I had a couple hours to kill before football practice so why not walk the grass on the back side of that lot......still have the matched...

I'll take the idiot sign when anyone tells me, besides Illinois, where this deer is located. My whole point is this website used to be awesome. People shared info, photos and all sorts of stuff. Now it's a mere shadow of what it once was and all the regulars of old have disappeared. I just think...

Call me an idiot but I can't see how sharing pictures with your neighbors wouldn't be beneficial to everyone. I can understand not putting a deer of this caliber on the internet(if people know where you hunt) to avoid someone you don't know getting crazy but please explain how sharing what deer...

Sorry to hear that Moose. If I can help in any way let me know. Very hard to stay positive in these situations but your brother will need it. Take care old buddy.

I think you'll get a decent to good stand if its a good year for rain. With it being near the road your browse pressure should be less than a secluded plot. Your main objective with corn is to get it tall enough that they cant center punch it. We have a high deer density area and our corn gets...

The gfr and turnip mix that DblTree talks about sure is growing on me and our deer herd. Hard to argue against the results from the last year. Pics like this don't lie. Was tough to stick with the program after watching the deer turn their noses up to the plots for over two years. Over night...

I understand your point that in reality these guys might actually pay for themselves (debatable for sure). I should probably bite my tongue here but are we really surprised that with 17 trillion in debt that cuts to programs like this are starting to happen? Sure makes you wonder how we'll...

Thanks guys. Unbelievable to say the least. It started in a backyard in Amboy, IL and ended in the Super Dome in New Orleans. Encourage your kids to set their sights high. You just never know what they might accomplish if they refuse to quit. Time to catch up on some hunting.

Thanks guys. Gotta love my cousin for blowing my cover....ha ha. This website has been a big part of my life since my days at Iowa. Football doesn't setup to well for a whitetail junkie but iowawhitetail has done its part in keeping my addiction fed for the time being. The state of Iowa is well...

I have spent the last week trying to get educated on the facts. Very hard to sort thru the rhetoric but I feel like I have solidified my belief that guns are not the problem. I am open to anything that will help solve our problems. This article sums up my stance on gun control well as of...

Hey I didnt vote for the president but how you could come away anything but impressed by his press conference today is beyond me. You can say what you want about his politics but as a man, father and husband he sure seems like a stand up guy. I am not trying to turn this into an Obama debate...

By all means this part of Iowa Whitetail is DBLTrees world. If this type of conversation isn't well taken then I apologize for jumping into it but I really feel like I have learned quite a bit from this discussion. I will start by saying over the last 4 years we have followed Dbltrees advice...

Ours have done the same thing the last couple years. They have a very strong smell and turn to mush towards the end of November. I am guessing the warm temps speed the process up. We wouldn't know how this effects the deer because for whatever reasons deer won't touch our brassicas mix. I read...

Hers my take on the situation. If your working with a property that requires drawing deer from some place else than your gonna be disappointed in the brassica mix results. For drawing power from far and wide nobody can convince me you can beat beans or corn. Getting beans and corn to November...

Moose your my boy and you know that but Ray Lewis is innocent. Also a gun was as guilty in the incident as a car was in a dui, and fork in a heart attack and a helmet in a concussion. Lets get real people(Costas). Time to take responsibility for our actions.
