Crop report


Recommended Posts

With the Iowa deer season coming. I was wondering if most of the corn crop is out of the field yet? I will be down for the 1st season of stotgun. I will be in the SW part of the state by Atlantic.

Thanks for any replies

It is getting very close. Talked with my cousin last night. He said there is a big boy hanging around on his property. He also told me the rutt ended about 10 days ago. Anybody else notice the rut in your area.

2 weeks ago it was almost tropical now it's cooling down nicely and hopefuly pushing those deer closer to the trees. I go up to Northwest/central Iowa around Gilmore City for second shotgun season. My brother-in-law and I are really looking forward to it as well. I finally talked Dad into going again as well. We always use to go together and then missed a few years when I was in wrestling. We don't see many big ones but we like getting our 'Jerky deer' for the year. That stuff is an awsome snack for ice fishing.

Be orange, be safe and good luck to all of you.

How did you 1st season guys do? Did the warm weather put everything in the middle of the sections? This weekend needs to get cold fast or I might have to eat home raised beef all year, that is so rough wink.gif

I saw about 180 deer in 3 days of hunting. 2 of them being the biggest bucks I have ever seen while hunting. I blew it. I missed a 80 yard shot at a huge buck. I saw at least 12 points on him. I only had the neck to shot at. The doe he was with busted me. The doe was in the middle of us.

The deer seemed to be moving the most around 9 AM and 4PM.

I'll try to be back next year!

Good Luck to the rest of you.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
