That article sounds like they are making IHAP out of ground that is not already in CRP. If it was already under contract, there would NOT be many changes allowed. It makes sence, if you have some rough ground that wasn't tillable. I think all the IHAP I have seen has been CRP prior.

My GSPs have all been deaf to my voice at times it seems.

They could already have the liability protection. If it goes into IHAP, I thought the state then "managed" the parcel in lieu of any addition financial compensation. I am not sure they have the personnel to do much of this and most CRP programs only require one mid-contract burn. I don't...

OT, but a way to increase opportunities to good habitat in Iowa would be to offer a financial incentive to the land owner to allow public hunting that might also include something to eliminate any liability issues for allow such. But in this climate, CRP funding could be in danger, along with...

Brittany nailed this issue. Easement is what is needed and might be next to impossible to get after the land transfer. Buy land next to these land locked piece could give you almost exclusive access....assuming any other bordering land owners don't allow trespassing. These corner crossings...

You could have been winning the lottery, but this is almost as good. I wonder if they hit the NR hunters harder? Twice in the last few years. I think I once received a survey regarding deer sightings from the state. I would have a real close harvest figure every year (as long as I remember...

I just talked with one of our PF directors, he told me the Cherokee attendance was 519, off a bit. He did not have a figure for banquet memberships.

I think A5 nailed it, those corn fields blow full, not clear. IF there is snow on the the ground that has blown, that snow will be as deep as the top of the corn stocks 6 inches to 2 feet, depending on the corn head and operator. Beans are cut close to the ground and will catch very little...

I would try to not make them similar. I am a single syllable guy for a dog's name. As a kid I think it was due to needing to yell it a lot! Bing, Rip, Dude, Gus. Guessing Rip has made comeback due to Yelowstone.

Between the carbon fiber and titanium the one I handled was light weight....compared to my 11-87 anyway.

I am not going back for it, it did feel great though.

Thanks guys. I just saw similar things. Like the feel and fit, but might be getting someone else's problem. Looks like it had very little use...maybe there's a reason for that.

Does anyone have any insights or options on the Remington CTi 105 shotguns? I see a used one in a local gun store for $600, it has an extended mag on it, not use if the normal caps/spring would fit it if I want to remove it...and are they just normal Rem Chokes? The pulls up like a a Rem...

That surprises me, the things one can learn here. Awesome. ***I just read about EQIP, it is designed for environmental benefits, not necessarily wildlife or production reduction. So I could see it not having some of the requirements other programs might have. Nice work sourcing that out...

They will not pay to take it out of crop production, if it wasn't in crop production.

I think Cherokee's population is under 6K, the entire county is under 15K in population. Woodbury county next to me has Sioux City (85K) and their banquets are not near the attendance. Not sure about Woodbury but Cherokee and Plymouth both cater to the ladies and kids. Sounds like successful...

Mike, I hope you have a record turn-out, great work you are doing. Cherokee, IA had they had their banquet last night, looked like a big turn-out. They use the biggest venue in the county and fill it. They showed up as number 6 in 2024 with 185 memberships, which doesn't seem like a ton, when...

With the weight of those around 5 pounds, that might be perfect to get my petite daughter into hunting....maybe even her daughters...in a couple more years. The 5 rounds of ammo must almost double the weight. I shouldn't cracked your pecans on these ultra light weights guns, I might need one...

So did anyone spend 4 hours or less and see everything? Guessing that is not possible unless the Sioux Falls venue has more venders/exhibitors than other locations. If you are a pheasant hunter you will be interacting with folks in the booths that interest you. Hope everyone enjoyed it.

I had to click on a Bob tread with that title...and no BS, it was a short post! There is something special about hearing roosters crowing. Funny, I too look at the cover whenever I am out driving and am thinking, "no, I would pass" or yep, "I would try that spot". My pheasant attitude is...
