I made this table with whitetail antlers then filled everything in between with more sheds. I’m sure you could do something similar.

Had this done plus the skull this past year from a guy in Iowa. Total was around $1600. It’s my first rug and I feel like he did a good job.

You’re not hearing about any of the bad stuff that goes on there because those people just aren’t around to talk about it now [emoji6]

I don’t leave zone 7 for deer so I can’t really help you in the zones you mentioned. I do know there’s good public ground in the zones you mentioned but I’m sure they get a decent amount of pressure. I have an old friend from zone 5 and he’s picked up so much private ground just knocking on...
I put an application in this year for the first time knowing I wouldn’t get drawn but wanted to start building some points. When I check my draw app details it says not drawn; which I expected, but when I check my bonus points it says I have 0. Maybe I misunderstood this process, but I was under...
Neckbone I’m in the same boat as you and plan to do the same thing. I currently have 1 pref point and 1 bonus point. I don’t want to lose my pref point so I’m applying this year without buying another pref point and hoping I don’t draw and I’ll just buy another bonus point.

Small fines seem to be the norm when these douche bag “celeb” hunters break the rules. It’s F’n pathetic! Throw the book at them!

Pretty sure I just read a post on here yesterday about mingling social classes and it took about 4 posts for dudes to come on here and start telling you vortex scopes won’t work lol. Better go out and buy yourself one of those $2500 scopes. I realize the 450 has some recoil and a $25 scope from...
I know it’s not exactly the zone most people want when they come to Iowa, but if anyone is hunting zone 7 I can help them out with info if it’s needed.
There’s def. not the amount of public ground as in other parts of the state but still some good chunks that hold some good deer. Just shoot me...
I live in Iowa so obviously scouting for elk hasn’t always been the easiest for me, I’ve never had success connecting with one out there. This year I’d like to come out before season (maybe mid summer) to do some scouting for 3rd season and maybe set up a couple cameras (mainly cause I think...
Haha. Checking trail cameras one year here in Iowa; tried getting through one and that thing caught me somewhere cause it set me clean on my back! Made me double think ever crossing it again.

Haha yeah that’s a rough first ask.
I’m actually in central Iowa as well about 45 min east of Des Moines. I would agree it’s probably harder in due to the lack of timber compared to other parts of the state.

I’m about as introvert as they come, but realized the more doors I knocked on the easier it’s gotten to ask. I’ve never had anyone be a dick to me or anything; if it’s a no it’s usually just because someone already hunts it and I thank them anyways and move on to the next house. After awhile ya...
