    Hunting private ground in your state

    Being farmers a lot of that 8000 acres is tillable so it’s a lot of just wide open fields. The 8000 acres is spread out over the county. I have about 5 farms on the 8000 acres I consider good to deer hunt. I’m the only one bow hunting the ground. The gun groups I let hunt the stuff I don’t hunt...

    Hunting private ground in your state

    How hard is it to get permission to hunt private ground in your state? Here in Iowa there’s not a ton of public ground so it usually pays off to do some door knocking and try to pick up some private ground to whitetail hunt. I’d say I have a 10-20% success rate getting permission when going...

    Just a thought- access trading?

    There’s websites out there to swap hunts. My family owns a bunch of decent land in Iowa and I’ve swapped hunts with others in the past. Worked out great for me and I still talk to the guys I swapped with weekly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    IOWA - Water pollution & Livestock

    My family farms roughly 8000 acres here in Iowa; we no till and do cover crops every year. We can’t force other farmers to use the same practices. I’m not a fan of a lot of the other practices but I can promise you if it’s not farmers ruining the ground it will be solar panels and wind turbines...

    IOWA - Water pollution & Livestock

    I’m a big bow hunter here in Iowa and hate to see farmers tear out a bunch of trees and habitat just to gain a few acres to farm so I definitely have my gripes with them but to claim they’ve ruined much of Iowa is absurd to me. Farming has brought more to this state than it has destroyed it...

    Manitoba Bear Outfitter Recommendations

    I just got back from steep rock last week. I had a blast up there! Wayne and all his guides are great and easy to get along with. There’s no shortage of big bears there. There was 10 of us in camp (larger than normal, making up for Covid) all 10 shot a bear and we still had 2 days left to hunt...

    Lobo Outfitters

    100% it was a blast and I don’t regret paying for the guide service one bit! I’m from Iowa so I wanted to go with someone experienced to learn as much as I can so next time I go I can try it on my own. The knowledge picked up plus the new friendships, great food, stories, lodging, and overall...

    Just got back from hunting with them for 5 days. I'll try to give you a detailed rundown and if I don't mention something that you're curious about feel free to message me. We got there on the afternoon of the 10th and go settled in. They have a couple nice little bunk houses that were well...

    Hunt Swap Forum?

    I swapped a hunt on another message board a few years ago and was glad I did it! Turned into a good friendship and I got a bear hunt and he got a deer hunt for much cheaper than either of us could’ve done most other ways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
