Lol, I can honestly say, after 22 years of marriage, I have no idea how my wife drives on the interstate. I never give up the steering wheel.😁

Yes

We can get 1 any sex tag and 1 doe tag for$2 each. All other tags are full price. We also need to buy a hunting license. Most land owners buy more tags. Personally I think we should pay full price for all tags.

I wouldn't have a clue. I do know that a lot of people move to Iowa for deer hunting. These are motivated people that are assets to the state. Deer hunting is the reason I haven't moved myself and my business a couple miles across the border into South Dakota. Quality deer have a real impact on...

I don't understand why state agencies struggle with the concept that rarity gives something value. The easier you make it the less appealing it will ultimately become. All these free for all, everybody gets a trophy attitudes are not retaining the next generation of hunters because they aren't...

I'm not following, why does the percentage of yearlings make any difference to the total number of bucks left? Iowa is actually pretty liberal on the number of bucks we can kill, I could take 3 a year. I never have but I could. I could kill even more if I wanted to party Hunt. It's the...

I have no idea which one is better but I never follow the crowd, so I have android.

If those are all hers, it's going to be a feat to keep them all alive. That has to be extremely rare.

Ar isn't really relevant to this discussion. It's apples and Oranges. Missouri certainly is though. If Iowa's regulations aren't the difference maker, why the drastic change in deer quality when crossing the border to Missouri?

Iowa's late gun season was set in order to allow farmers who would be in the field in November a chance to participate. I don't think I've ever heard the claim that it was to protect quality hunting. It's a lucky situation. Thankfully, there were people in this state who realized what we had...

1. I'd either remove or burn. Cedar needles take years to fall off and let light through. A burn will zap the needles quickly and leave the skeleton if you want to protect some new growth. FYI, much of that new growth will be more cedars. 2. If you're cutting, I'd cut at ground level and be...

22 yrs old? FFS, too stupid to even realize how much he doesn't know yet.

I had several bags of Rye left from last year. This was seed I bought in late October for a hail mary attempt at saving some plots after a painfully dry late summer fall had decimated my fall plots. I don't think any of it came up last fall but I chalked that up to it being too late. I stored it...

I'm right there with you. I've resisted the urge to buy a no-till drill for years. Next year, there's going to be one behind my tractor. I should've bought one years ago.
