Spud and I will hunt our normal agenda of Doves, Waterfowl, Quail and Pheasants in Mo, Ks and Ia. Going to make a couple of 2 day trips this summer to explore some new public areas in IA. I put together a double decker trailer which operates on a winch to lower the top deck to the water level and load/unload the top boat. Have Four Rivers and a MoMarsh layout boats with longtails on both. Hoping our Marshes have water this year and my Brother and I can get some fast action in Teal Season and Ia ducks in October.
I will hunt Sharptails, Prairie Chickens, Pheasants and maybe some waterfowl in SD.
MT, WY, NE are possibilities. Hoping to make a make a trip to Oregon and get into some new species.
Whitetails here are home Sept - Dec according to weather and how easy or not the buck tags get filled. The wife and I have been assembling quadpod and ladder tree stands and we be putting 7 more of them up through the summer. Also have a goal to assemble a couple of the haybale blinds and deploy here at home.
Will be spraying the corn and putting up a hot wire starting next week. If it ever gets cooler with rain I will high clip the clover plots. Bean look good for the moment but desperately need rain.
Yea I am excited too!
Sounds like you're going to be a busy man. I tested the Triax, that was one sweet bow!
Post up pics of that trailer sometime, sounds like some cool engineering.
For being born and raised in IA, I've never really hunted it that much. Maybe that will have to change this year.
