A few other observations:

When a hunter wants to shoot his bow right after the morning hunt......go check the morning stand location for blood.

Counting quiver arrows only works once. Expressions when asked about missing arrow are priceless.

So very true. East coast hunters and western hunters really can't hold a candle to Iowa hunters. It's true, hunting the wily farmland whitetail gives them fits, what with all the intricacies of following directions to the stand. But they have an especially difficult time when pursuing the Iowa Christmas Turkey. Try as they might, the Christmas Turkey remains a mystery to them. Shrouded in an enigma, as it were.



Perhaps because the "hunters" you use as examples arent really hunters, they are clients! They may very well be guys who cant get it done on thier home turf but happen to have the disposable income to pay to go to Iowa to be placed in a stand by a guide who has done all the work and simply have to shoot at a deer that walks by. Sorry but your not special, I do all the stand prep for wind conditions etc you mentioned in a prior post on my own as well as numerous other properties I have permission to hunt on....its part of being a more than casual whitetail hunter!

Apologies for the digression, just got ticked by mikewerner insinuating that those not from Iowa dont know how to hunt deer
