Great fishing too!

Yes definitely! We used to fish by Pierre and did well with walleyes, caught salmon on Oahe as well .

It’s very hard to find an alternative of really good buck quality and the high cash rents of Iowa rec/farm land .

It was so undervalued for many years, I’m just glad I bought when I was a young.

It's a land grab. Land is a precious commodity. Some residents are wanting to make it less appealing for non-residents to own land there so they can own it. The residents vote. Government officials need their votes. If they tick off the residents, they're out of a job. Weed out the competition.

This makes sense. Land and deer grab.

This is a loooong podcast that I really think is worth a listen. I am not a huge fan of the hosts, but they do get into some good discussions and typically have interesting guests on. For this episode, they have the person overseeing deer management in Ohio. They talk about Iowa, other states, and of course Ohio deer management policies. Basically everything we regularly get into on this forum.

I always listen to podcasts on 1.3 or 1.5x speed if you're worried about committing 3 hours to a podcast.

My biggest problem with these hosts is they don't shut up. You have a guest on, presumably he's a subject matter expert on the topic, and they talk 80% of the time to the guest's 20%.

I haven't listened to this one yet, wasn't planning on it but now I may give it a shot. Thanks Hoyt.

That is also one of my beefs with them as hosts. I appreciate the long form discussion that stems from it all. Double-edged sword, I guess.

For my area, the farms haven't been fragmented at all. It's just OOS or "city folk" with money that have gobbled up land that came up for sale. The lease prices are through the roof, and those are all OOS hunters in my experience.

A 400 acre farm may have had 7-10 guys that hunted it for multiple species in the past, and now there are 2-3 that hunt the same 400 for deer and maybe turkey only.

It doesn't take long for regular joes without the $$$ to feel the squeeze on finding a place to hunt.

What's the answer to all this?? It's not an easy one for any side.....

I would be curious to see the auction format. One by us was 1,000 acres auctioned as 11 individual tracts. They were bid on individually and then they were offered as a whole for someone to beat the sum of those high bids. We went through 3 rounds of that before it finally sold as one tract. It made the landowner a bunch of money. But let me tell you about some mad bidders that didn’t understand that was the format. They thought they had won their bids the first go around. Several walked out. Though I am glad it stayed together, I loathe the asshole who bought it. We now have a high fence elk farm on our border. Can’t wait to see what kind of diseases pop up for us. I was bidding on one tract. Once I figured out what the gig was, I was bidding $6,000/acre on my tract. I was preapproved for $2,800…
