Monroe County...It is a blessing and pain in the ass at the same time. Almost all of the primo land is locked up and then all the remaining land gets multiple hunters. Tough to find a solid piece as the common guy without big $$'s to throw around.

I talked to the land owner about this land and he 1st mentioned that my brother and I had sole hunting rights and I was pumped. Scout it and I find multiple tree stands and salt blocks, so I go back and talk to him and then he remembers there are some other guys he also told to hunt it.

Oh well, I will just show up early and hopefully he wont bother coming in to hunt when he sees I am already there. Just bought a GL2 this year so my brother and I plan on hittin' hard this season.

How is the land access up around Norwalk? Do the Des Moines big wigs have it all locked up?
