It is a nice boat, the only reason he is selling it is he has bad shoulders and he found a good deal on a newer boat with a tiller with the longer handle so it is easier on his shoulders to run it.

This one is real similar that I copied off of the iowa dnr website. I think it was shocked out of spirit lake. It was the first one I had seen. Looks like they took the picture in some sort of a hatchery.

I was always told if it is ahead of the gills it is fair game.

This would suck for passengers.

Not following you. Why would it suck for passengers that the driver could not type into a smartphone while driving?

In my mind, what would suck for the passengers most is dying in a fiery wreck when their distracted driver plowed into a stopped car.

They are saying if the phones wont work if moving more than 5 mph then it would also disable the phones of the passengers in the vehicle. Not just the drivers. I agree with distracted driving being a big problem. I see it a ton driving a semi. You can see it really well when you are above them. They already can pull you over and give a ticket here for distracted driving but hasnt seemed to slow anybody down. Not sure what solution would work.

Haven’t even started here hardly. Going late muzzleloader here and that starts Monday. Late season and standing corn brings the big boys out. We get till the tenth of January. Got a really nice one with a landowner 1st gun season. Hope to get one bigger.

Spot is where two creeks meet along with an old railroad tracks. Just a little 5 acre woodlot there. Was perfect for the warm weather.

Was targeting this buck but the other buck showed up first. Didn’t have any pictures of him. Wish he wouldn’t have broke his beam off. I’d like to see the deer that broke it.

Was a good day here. All safe. Sat in a blind all alone. Heard a few shots but not a lot. Tough opener with it being warm.

Edge glued pine makes a really nice looking board. A little spendy but sure to turn a lot of heads. Have been offered a lot for mine while tailgating. I put bartop epoxy on mine to give it a nice finish and to protect the stickers. Bought my Edge glued pine from menards. 2’x3′

Can pumpkinseeds still have red on their ear? I always assumed the red on their ear made them a red ear. I didn’t look at the picture real close to see if they had the red on them. I was going off of the first reply that said he thought the red ear made them a pumpkinseed.

If they have the red on their ear, here they would be a red eared sunfish. Called a red ear for short.

Are there that few turkeys or too many turkey hunters that you have to draw turkey tags. Here you can get 2 over the counter as long as one is the late season and get 2 in the fall. Or maybe you are drawing nonresident?

If you are patient you might get a really good deal close to the end of ice season. I bought a eskimo mako on cyber Monday this year off amazon for $245 shipped. Have been really pleased with it.

Brian,
You are right that this law does not affect me but I don’t like seeing fellow Farmers get railroaded by people from the big city that think they know how to farm their farm better than the guys that have been doing it for generations. And as for implying that we don’t do a good job of conservation on our land is just plain ignorance. You have never been on our farm and never will. We are great stewards of the land and will continue to be. Just wish government and people from town would mind their own business. And for the record I love Iowa and would never want to live anywhere else.

I’m just saying 50 foot buffer on a crick that is a foot wide or 200 feet wide is stupid. And a buffer doesn’t stop diddly if you don’t do any other conservation. I don’t tell you how to do your business so don’t tell me how to do mine.

If you guys all want the farmers to give up a percentage of their income and livelihood for water quality and to benefit wildlife then why doesn’t everybody donate the same percentage to ducks unlimited or pheasants forever. A lot of these projects sound good to people that don’t have it affect their pocketbook. There are places a 50 foot buffer are needed. There are places it should be wider than that. There are also places that 50 feet on each side is ridiculous. A blanket regulation is not the answer.

That’s one of the benefits of a late model Ford is the keypad on the door. Just don’t forget the combination and you won’t get locked out.

I was in the market for a cheap pump gun 3 or 4 years ago and almost bought a weatherby. Fits all of your criteria except I don’t know if they make one with a synthetic stock. But they are cheap enough you don’t need to baby it. Was very close to buying one till I got lucky and found an old barely used wingmaster for $250. The wingmaster only took 2-3/4″ shells and no screw in chokes but didn’t look like it had seen a full box of shells in its life.

I have used the nikon inline xr muzzleloader scope with the bdc reticle. It is excellent. I have used it for I think 5 years now and shot I shot at least 10 deer with it and haven’t missed yet. Longest shot was 170 yards. The nikon spot on app is a must if you plan on shooting long distances. Mine is mounted on a cva accura v2.

Wish you were closer.

I was a lifelong Shimano guy, but decided to try a Pflueger President last year and I am going back to Shimano. The president is junk. It backreels for no reason when setting the hook or trying to get a snag out. Maybe I just got a lemon, but I won’t ever find out because that’s the last one I ever buy. Just my $.02

I just bought a new CVA Accura V2 and like it so far. I was dead set on getting a T/C Pro Hunter, but after reading reviews online about them I changed my mind. There were just as many bad reviews as good ones for them. As for the CVAs, the only people that said bad things about them were people that had never owned one or had one that was older or a lower model. The reviews on the T/C said that the newer guns are not up to the standards that we have all come to expect from them. So you will have to decide for yourself, but I bought the Accura.

Good Luck

This is what some guys are doing to cut down the population. Link

Are the other two grounds for marker lights on the side of the trailer? My trailer has those marker lights and each one has it’s own ground. On mine they are all connected.

Also our area was hit by the windstorm last year that destroyed our corn crop, so this is the second year in a row of tough conditions.

I and my dad farm in Central Eastern Iowa South of Waterloo. We just got a rainfall on Friday and Saturday that totalled about 2″, and I thought all of the farmers here were going to do backflips in the strret. The drought is very serious and widespread, but I wouldn’t feel too bad for the farmers, because if you do not buy federal crop insurance which covers drought(not real well, but is covered), then you are just flirting with disaster. I know some guys don’t buy the federal crop, but that’s their decision and they have to live with it. In my opinion the crop prices are probably going to continue to go up. Right now is a critical point in the crops’ life and every day without rain shrinks the crop more and more.

Everyone I know puts valley tin on the bottom, then a layer of weatherguard, and then shingle over it, that way you get the cosmetic look of the shingles, but the protection of the valley tin. I am not a roofer, but do run a lumberyard and sell to a lot of roofers.

I am not sure about the wapsie, but I am really close to the Cedar River by below Waterloo, and down here you pretty much need a canoe or plan on dragging the boat. Also plan on leaving a truck down below at the next ramp because upstream is out of the question. Its been a couple weeks, since I have been out, but we did catch a few walleyes and a couple smallies. They really seemed to be spread out, but did manage a few. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the advice guys.
