IMB Outfitters offers both fully and semi guided hunts from quality lodge settings in Iowa, Pike County, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri. IMB Outfitters is the most qualitative “whitetail specialty” outfitting service in the nation. There is a trend in the hunt industry with the “springing up” of new outfitters across the country that is tricking hunters to focus solely on the hunts price. While the prices of IMB are competitive one must remember IMB has been perfecting a hunt service focused on the harvest of trophy whitetail bucks for 12 long years. Sure clients can always find a cheaper hunt, but waiting all year long and then ending up with a bad experience in an effort to save a few bucks just isn’t worth it. Visit us online at www.imbmonsterbucks.com

We still have openings for several great hunts however we feel the Iowa gun hunt may be the best hunt in the entire industry as knowledgeable hunters know Iowa is re-writing the Boone and Crockett Record Books. Gun tags are easily obtained while bowtags do take two years to obtain. Although we feel Iowa is the greater of the 5 states we provide hunts in we have openings in all the states also. Choose from Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, and Misssouri.

Deep Deadsticking

Story by Russ “Bassdozer” Comeau

Hello My Students,

When Kotaro Kiriyama won the Bassmaster Elite event on Lake Erie in early August, his method of fishing over open water bait balls astonished many of the BASS/ESPN media commentators who had never seen any fishing done like that before.

It reminded me of a four-part story I wrote in 2006. I had never published that story on the Internet before, but Kiriyama’s success motivated me to track it down and post it online for you today.

     Last week, I wrote about the many different hunting and fishing seasons that are opening in September. The Early September Canada Goose season and the dove season both open with promising outlooks on September 1^st. The hook and line lake sturgeon season opens on September 6^th on the Wisconsin River from below the dam at Wisconsin Dells to and below the dam at Prairie du Sac. This includes all of Lake Wisconsin and all of the river’s waters downstream from the Dells Dam    This year, due to over-harvesting below both dams, has resulted in a shorter season that closes September 30^th with a minimum size of 60 inches for these prehistoric fish. The limit is 1 lake sturgeon per season. Check last week’s column for more sturgeon fishing suggestions, dove tactics, and tips for the Early Canada Goose season. Continue Reading »

NEWTOWN, Conn. — For many hunters, that 300-mile drive to deer camp may be put on hold this year. Unwilling — or unable — to spend more on gasoline than licenses and lodging, many hunters are checking out their options closer to home.

Locate places to hunt at: HuntandShoot.org

Recent surveys have shown that this is a national trend among American hunters. According to research conducted by Southwick Associates’ HunterSurvey.com, “40 percent of hunters indicated that rising gas prices will cause them to reduce their outdoor activities or reduce their travel distance.” Continue Reading »

    September 1^st is the opening of the dove and Early September Canada Goose hunting seasons in the Badger state. September 6th is the opener in Wisconsin for lake sturgeon.We are lucky to be in an area of Wisconsin where hunters and anglers can participate in all of these early seasons and have a chance of very good success.The first dove hunting season in the state was in 2000 after much debate and discussion. The number of dove hunters statewide is between 20,000 and 30,000 hunters who harvest between 100,000 and 150,000 birds. The number of dove hunters is slowly increasing as more hunters find that hunting doves is fun, improves your wing-shooting, gets you out in the fields and woods in September and October when the weather is nice, and provides excellent table-fare. This fall, there has been an increase in the length of the season with 10 more days being added. This fall, the season runs from September 1^st to November 9^th with a daily bag limit of 15 birds. Another change is that if you’re hunting on state managed lands, you must use non-toxic shot like bismuth.

The DNR guesses that the average hunter shoots 5 doves during the season which is a low figure considering that between 4 and 5 million doves migrate through Wisconsin on their way to their wintering grounds in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, and Mexico. Many doves also winter in Wisconsin and the Midwest despite the record winter of 2007-2008. Before last winter, the last decade of winters had warmer than normal temperatures. People should know that only 10-15% of the dove’s mortality comes from hunting while most of the mortality comes from predators, disease, accidents, and weather extremes. The DNR firmly believes that hunting doves does not affect the number of dove in the state. Continue Reading »

76 percent of sportsmen say they prefer to elect a President who hunts or fishes

John McCain is the preferred Presidential candidate among sportsmen,
as well as the preferred sporting partner

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sportsmen have a solid history of voting, with 9 in 10 currently registered to vote and of those 83 percent say they will vote in the November election, according to a new survey by the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation. Overall, there are an estimated 40 million sportsmen of voting age in the United States.

“Sportsmen are active voters and prefer candidates who align with them on hunting and fishing issues,” said Jeff Crane, president of the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation. “The attention presidential candidates give to sportsmen’s issues is well-aimed.”

Among sportsmen, Republican John McCain holds a significant lead over White House opponent Barack Obama, with a 14-point margin according to the survey.

Asked who they planned to vote for in November, 45 percent said McCain and 31 percent said Obama. Continue Reading »
