Best case scenario: the ceiling (turnkey properties) is likely going up but the floor (undervalued properties) is staying the same. Jake Hofer on the Land Podcast has been talking quite a bit about this. The inefficiencies in the recreational land market are slowly but surely going to get...
We drove 1.5 hours northwest of the Twin Cities and pretty much every gravel road had people stopped to view the Lights. It was really neat to see so many people taking it all in. This was my first time seeing them after trying half a dozen times this year.
I feel like hunting leases don't get enough attention for what they are doing to land prices. Jake on the Land Podcast has had a few guests on that have talked about the increase in cost of leases.
I don't think the number of hunters have increased in the last few years, but there are...
Basically how they are leaning so heavily on Winke'isms and the history of that farm. I am sure that because they used so much footage from Midwest Whitetail's youtube channel, they bought the rights to the footage. Even though I am not in the market for buying or selling land, I still come...
I saw recently that Winke's original property is back on the market. I thought they had originally sold it and it was split up. They put together a cheesy youtube video and were even working in a few of Winke's expressions...
The bleached leaves look like sun scald. I grown a few hundred trees from seed each winter and always harden mine off VERY gradually over the course of a 2-3 weeks. I first bring them outside and place them in a protected area that gets no direct sunlight for about 10-14 days. Then, I move them...
Thanks for posting this article. It is a great read. I have had the exact same thoughts about lack of carcasses in areas with higher CWD numbers. I don't think there is really anything new added to the conversation, but the way it is framed will be helpful for having more meaningful discussions...
Check out your county's assessor's office. You can also find this plat maps in the local library. Most of Missouri's can be found online, but they take some digging.
Anecdotally, this tracks with what we are seeing in our Northeast MO counties. Looking at old plat maps, the farm sizes haven't really changed much. I think our area is likely one of the more rural in the midwest, though. I am sure as you move closer to cities you will find more fragmentation...
Not to derail the conversation, but the only thing I would be nervous about other states copying from Iowa is the lack of non-resident tags for landowners. Admittedly, I'm sure you could add it to the list for what makes Iowa such a great state for deer hunting, but selfishly I wouldn't own land...
Another vote for the M150. I think it is more comfortable than most ladder stands. Buy a couple of the collars if you know you will have a few different trees to set it up in but don't want or can't have a have a permanent ladder stand for that spot.
I think they are implying they lived in the same area with the same deer population. This is just a report that two guys who were deer hunters living in the same area and mostly ate deer meat both developed CJD, which is a prion associated disease just like CWD. I don't really think they're...
I'm not sure if you saw the recent report of two men dieing from CJD who also happened to have been consuming deer in a CWD area:

There is still no smoking gun for a causal link between CWD and CJD, but the people in the know seem to...
This spring has been a dud so far. I have probably spent about 10-12 hours looking in creeks or in cultivated fields and have only found a few partials.

Mort,
do you have photos of all of your findings? It seems like you guys are amassing quite the...
