    Epstein. It’s all Epstein…or not. Hell I don’t know. In 2-3 weeks I won’t care. Bucks will be cruising.

    Haha My wife and I have gotten into some epic battles about my reaction to left lane drivers. We have tested our marriage because of my disdain for a lack of awareness or concern on those dumbasses part

    The next cohort or dnr guys is an interesting topic. Hadn’t given that much thought. What does that look like? On one hand you have the social media generation that has showcased big deer but you also have the instant gratification, lack of effort/failure mindset that is rampant in that...

    So people are willing to pay for exclusivity. Other game agencies should wake up. Another thing is it’s probably easier managing a smaller number of participants than the opposite. So to recap, you can make more money, people can a higher quality experience, and manage less opinions…how is...

    i wonder who is more profitable as a game agency. Iowa or Kentucky? Anyone and their cousin can hunt here for deer and turkey. The nonresident prices keep creeping up. Iowa is very restrictive and lets in very little nonresidents so they don’t get much revenue from them. I have to believe it’s...

    Add bait…now you have ky. 21 day gun season in the rut. Modern rifles. Crossbows all archery season with bait. Season opens first Saturday in September where every yahoo from the southeast wants to come kill a velvet buck and 99% of the bucks are whacked over a bait pile. So for all the bad...

    I’d rather make wrong decisions than have drones buzzing around doing surveys.

    100000%. I’ll take crossguns all day long if baiting was illegal and actually prosecuted

    I’m a nonresident landowner. I don’t think the landowners are necessarily bad for other states. I think it’s the nonresidents with little skin in the game. So clients of outfitters and leaseholders and permission on farmer Johnson’s place. They don’t have enough invested or likely won’t even be...

    I’m not saying there’s any correlation whatsoever but interest in the Epstein list just went puffff.

    Agreed and that was my point early. I think the only way the state could do it is by making things like limiting what firearms could be used and when and eliminating bait and crossbows, cell cams, etc. you have to up the difficulty level to where legal hunters are unsuccessful to a degree and by...

    You and your in son in law are benefiting from scale and self governance. Those big tracts are successful DESPITE the regs not because of them. They have size and rules that insulate them from the states and from individuals decisions. Unfortunately we don’t have that in the Midwest. 200 acres...

    I’d say no because you are depending on restraint. People have proven to have very little of that. So you have to legislate for a lack of a better term, failure in buck harvest. Even if half your neighbors are good, the other can ruin an age class with zero problem. I’m talking about bucks...

    Yeah I’m not buying the genetic “excuse”. Iowa has nutrition plus age. It’s not rocket science. Any Midwest state could be Iowa with the same season structure and nonresident restrictions. It’s not like they are blessed with some random strain of alpha genes within the state borders. Like you...

    Why inst there a focus on EHD?

    Buddy picked up a 160’s buck in the creek yesterday in Tenn. His second one of the summer. We are still bone dry and hot. They are likely to start dropping like flies
