    Who here has deer hunted in the Hawkeye State lately?

    I don't fancy eating yote meat and .243 ammo seems too pricey for varmints. I think I would need some rifle that fires a handgun round during normal deer seasons. It's gotta be between .35 and .500 caliber. How about a Rossi rifle or carbine in .45 Colt? .357 Magnum?

    Who here has deer hunted in the Hawkeye State lately?

    I may have trouble finding housing within my budget in Sioux Falls. Des Moines enjoys shorter winters and more sunny days and days above freezing. I hear some of the roads/streets can be rough in Sioux Falls as they are here in Oklahoma and in the Texas Panhandle. Iowa is supposed to have...

    Who here has deer hunted in the Hawkeye State lately?

    Oklahoma City is the heart of Tornado Alley. I'm in Lawton/Fort Sill, Ok now and there has not been a recorded tornado death here since 1979. My research has indicated that tornado deaths in and around Des Moines are far and few between. 94 total tornado deaths for IA since 1950. 1.3 torndao...

    Who here has deer hunted in the Hawkeye State lately?

    I'm only intersted in harvesting a doe anyway. I'm considering living in SD or IA in the near future. I hate Oklahoma. I'm not crazy about Kansas or Missouri. I saw the 1996 movie Fargo and North Dakota looks too damned cold. Nebraska and Minnesota are not yet Constitution Carry states. Being...

    Who here has deer hunted in the Hawkeye State lately?

    My point is, why does Iowa allow a .35 Whelen during its two so-called "shotgun" deer seasons but NOT a .243 Winchester during those seasons. What is the logic behind such caliber restrictions? It's not rocket science. What does the state have against sub-35 caliber rifles for deer?

    Who here has deer hunted in the Hawkeye State lately?

    Looking at a map of De Moines I noticed two Interstate highways near there both ending in "35". I do know there is an I-35 that runs through Oklahoma City and I have been on it but that is neither here nor there. I don't give a damn where these roads end or begin. Please look at a map to see...

    Who here has deer hunted in the Hawkeye State lately?

    I've been just checking Iowa's game regs. It seems that rifles chambered in most "traditional modern centerfire necked-down deer calibers" are prohibited for deer in most seasons. This state has a thing about the number 35 when it comes to the bore of a rifle for putting vension in the freezer...

    Are there any non-rural American hunters here?

    The mods did not change my handle spelling upon request. It is not a word I commonly see in print.

    Outside of the Big Apple and Buffalo, I gather New York state is largely woodsy.

    Are there any non-rural American hunters here?

    According to my dictionary, the boomer generation ends with 1964. I want to connect with fellow boomers who saw the world in their youth as I did.

    Do any American Boomers here remember the quality lawn mowers of old?

    This is what a lawn mower should be. I long for a good lawn mower like this 1960's Goodall. I like the classic T handle.

    Are there any non-rural American hunters here?

    Washington state, I gather, was a SPORTSMAN'S PARADISE. I knew some Army sergeants in my duty section while stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma in 1990 who were Southern boys and went deer hunting on the military reservation that fall. They were married and had family housing on post. I was a...

    Are there any non-rural American hunters here?

    My city-raised grandfather hunted feathered game and deer just before my time. He was an avid coastal angler in my time. My rural-raised father shot rabbits with a 22 in his boyhood. My mother would not allow me or my older brother to get into recreational hunting or guns.

    Are there any non-rural American hunters here?

    Are there any urban or suburban avid sport hunters here? I ask out of curiosity since most American hunters, it seems, have a rural life background. Are there any hunters here raised in the suburbs or the city? I was born in 1964 and raised in a suburban-to-semi-rural setting with horses and...

    I just bought my European rifle for American woods deer.

    Pardon?

    I just bought my European rifle for American woods deer.

    But the gloss scopes are out of production and I already own a matte Leupold scope anyway. The scope makers of today had to get silly on all us Boomers by dropping gloss black production scopes altogether. Leupold, shame on you! I thought I had more faith in Beaverton, Oregon than that. You...

    I'd say matte to match the scope. But hold your horses... Mr. GunBlue490, my favorite gun talker, has a shiny rifle with both matte Leupold scope and rings. It's not half-shabby looking. The scope is matte to even match his butt pad. Think of matte black tires on a shiny black automobile. The...

    Nice nyala antelope. Bull. You must have hunted African plains game. Is that a Winchester Model 70?

    I suppose looking at this color scheme on a hunting outfit hurts less than a punch in the nose still. Should the rings be matte like the scope or gloss like the rifle. How about silver rings for greater contrast? This has the Sako dovetail scope mounting system.

    I just bought my European rifle for American woods deer.

    Same here. But the finish on the wood was not the deal breaker. I bought a new Ruger American Predator 6.5 CM back in 2020 and got rid of it a year later. Action definitely not smooth as silk. The damned bolt was often hard to close in a hurry. Cheesy matte finish and plastic stock to boot. This...
