just read an article in iowa fish and stream that the state believes there is no deer problem and they don't want to thin the herds,because they want trophy bucks for out of staters to come shoot(can you say lots of money).its getting to the point that because of the huge deer out here that out of state hunters are coming out and buying up the good woodlands and leasing the hunting rights. anybody want to buy 25 acres of prime iowa hunting land adjoining a river.lots of deer,i know of a huge buck that lives up behind the house.lots of turkey's too.i'm selling out,as the local hunters have pissed me off for the last time.they just come and go as they please.2 years ago they took a gate down so they could drive back on my logging road to retrieve their deer.
