    Iowa units 2 and 4- EHD!!!

    I'm from Carroll and my wife is from Coon. We have farm ground around Carroll but haven't found any dead (knock on wood). Also have ground in Madison and Ringgold same situation. About 14/15 years ago, our Monona farm got hit and it was devastating. I still do not think the hunting has recovered...

    Lexus GX-460 or Hyundai Palisade experience/reviews?

    I don't think I could tell you the difference in the vehicles that fill up with premium gas(that we know of) and customers that use ethanol 87. A big item that is often overlooked is to change the spark plugs out sooner than later. It can make a huge difference on idle feel. Other than that keep...

    Today years old

    For us "Iowa" folk it's spelled Sioux but pronounced Sewer. Lol

    Lexus GX-460 or Hyundai Palisade experience/reviews?

    I work at a Lexus dealer in the shop. The Hyundai running joke is the engines are made of glass... GX is tried and true and bulletproof with proper maintenance.

    Just a thought- access trading?

    I have thought of the same as well... Family owns land in "the good zone" for Iowa, and we have pheasants galore as a bonus. Have been going to Idaho and Montana just on public but it's tough to know current conditions without boots on the ground.

    Best place to buy swaro from?

    I have nothing but praise for Cameralandny, they helped me choose a spotter(not swaro) but I will definitely check them out as I am about 2 weeks away from pulling the trigger on some 12x pures

    Leupold VX-R?

    I use one on my 444 Marlin. Mine is the firedot version. No issues in the past 3 years, fwiw I don't dial on that gun.

    Where to park equity in between home sale and purchase?

    Most CDs are paying 5% for 6-8 months... Not too shabby for a guaranteed rate

    Question regarding primers

    Every time I have had a misfire, it was multiple on the same lot, it wasn't the primer, it was me, and after disassembling the remaining ammo, I knew what I did. Everything from corn cob media in flash holes to using a non-magnum primer in -10 degree weather for shotgun loads. I am thankful I...

    Straight wall vs slug gun vs inline muzzleloader poll

    Growing up in Iowa through the years I have killed them with the 12 gauge, muzzy, and now straight wall. Last year was the first year I never brought the shotgun even as a backup. I shoot a 444, it has a cult following for a reason. My dad shoots a 350 Leg. and has not needed a follow up shot...

    MSR Guardian Questions

    So a while back I posted a question about the differences in filters, currently in my group we have a platy gravityworks, steripen, and miniworks pump. I just purchased a MSR guardian and I have a few questions for those of you that own it. How often do you run into slow flow issues? How do...

    IOWA - Water pollution & Livestock

    I live in Iowa and I believe we should look more into no-till and cover crop programs. Of course this is an issue I have with myself because I also would like the free market to decide prices and keep government subsidies at a bare minimum (read $0.00). Full disclosure though, my family does...

    WTS Browning hi power $1750.

    I have a MK3 that's my daily carry. Damn fine gun that doesn't give me problems. Shoots all factory and reloads without a hiccup.

    New rifle cartridges legal in Iowa

    Been using a 444 for the last few years in central and southern Iowa on our farms. Game changer over the shotgun I grew up with. Still harvest the same amount, but I do a lot less tracking. This year we experienced the excess tag antlerless season with high powers. It was pretty fun getting...

    300WM and 175gr LRX

    Your gonna need to work up to this to make sure it's safe for your rifle. I am at 71.6gr. I have found that in temps from 5 - 65 I don't notice any fluctuations. I have my scope set for mpbr from 0-275 so it works perfect for me.

    300WM and 175gr LRX

    I use CCI LRM, H4350, and norma brass... I used factory Norma ammo for the brass... Factory ammo shot 2.5" groups from my BAR. Loaded H4350/175LRX and shrunk that to .75moa. My rifle uses the boss system from Browning and that load has taken 2 whitetails in Iowa this year. Gonna try it out this...

    Longshot Powder/Low Temps

    Hey guys, I was doing some pheasant hunting in Iowa yesterday and ran into an issue. 3 out of the 11 shots fired seemed like they wouldn't ignite. It was a squib load and after each one I checked the barrel but the shot and wad were all gone. Tons of unburnt powder still visible though. My...

    Water Filters - Gravity vs Pump

    The other member of my group (3 of us total) has a steripen. It is ok but I don't carry a nalgene (bladder only) so as a backup he would have one, but I'm not sold. I do carry the tablets as a last resort. I guess I'm more curious on using pumps to hit springs/sources as we hunt vs set up a...
