PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Hello to fellow bowhunters. Coming off of our annual Fall Festival it was another great weekend. The weather was great the only hiccup was the night shoot got rained out but other than that the temps were great and no bugs. If you missed it you missed a great weekend. Thank you again to the volunteers, sponsors and the board members you were awesome and appreciated thank you again. Good luck to all of you that are going out west and our season's will be opening soon here locally. Be safe out there. I don't like to preach but I notice as I have aged things are not as easy as they once were and I have a hard time admitting to that. I think I am 25 lol.

I have mentioned before next year we will be our 60th year as the IBA and we are planning on celebrating the milestone we all of you IBA MEMBERS. So, we are asking for your insights like if you have past IBA memorabilia, unique archery items to display or to auction. Also, if you know anyone from the earlier years it would be great to invite them for next March and see their hunting buddies. Any questions be free to call me. Sincerely, Loren

BONKER’S WORLD Well, not much has happened since the White Rabbit Magic I experienced at turkey camp last spring so there isn’t much to write about, but as usual I have a lot to say. I survived another visit to Canada, or should I say Canada survived another visit from me? Not that I ever try to do anything intentionally wrong that would upset the delicate balance in international geopolitical relationships, but sometimes just being Bonker causes things to get a little, uh, bonkers. It started after our 14-hour drive. Needless to say, after riding fearlessly in Fearless V2.0 for that long anybody is going to be a bit “out of sorts”. We have a tradition of eating at the motel’s restaurant for supper. Poutine and a double cheese burger deluxe is my traditional meal. It took forever to get our order. I think it was a ploy the establishment used to get us to buy more beverages. So by the time the food arrived and in the face of a 14 hour Fearless V2.0 ride followed by almost being forced to order several beverages I was a little miffed that the poutine had congealed into an inedible blob that resembled something you’d see in the gutter of a dairy barn. I stood up and shouted “I CAN GET BETTER POUTINE THAN THIS IN GUNDER IOWA!” Silence fell, then I heard one chair being scooted away from a table which was quickly followed by dozens more. I looked around and saw way too many upset Canadian miners standing with scowls affixed and fists clenched. Who knew that I had just defamed a proud Canadian tradition? That would be all of the very large Canadian miners who had taken umbrage with my statement that perhaps the USA in general and little Gunder Iowa had better poutine than Canada. There were four of us and dozens of them. I chanced a look at my fellow Americans and the look all three gave me was “You dummy. You’re on your own.” Maybe if there had only been a dozen of them I might have done something different, but several dozen? I didn’t like my odds, so I grabbed the congealed blob of dairy droppings and started eating

it like a large piece of pizza. I know it is impolite to talk with my mouth full, but I put a few “mmmm mmmmm, good stuff” and head nods into it. After the last swallow I exclaimed “That’s the best damn poutine in the world!”. The potential international crisis was averted and in true Canadian fashion the miners were apologetic for having taken offense at my comment and several bought us more beverages. Nice guys, those Canadians miners. Poutine notwithstanding, our trip to Canada was a bit different this year. Chef Dave couldn’t make the trip which caused a shake up in the responsibilities, the main one being who was going to do the meal planning and cooking? I volunteered but my menu would have been limited to fried Spam and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, toasted for a hot meal and cold for the rest. The Spam was the deal breaker. Chef Dave’s absence also necessitated finding a fourth guy for the trip. Some of you may remember from years ago I had a gentleman on my Bonker’s Blocker Pro Staff called “The Rocket”, not because he was fast, he is a for real scientist, maybe not a rocket scientist but a scientist just the same. As a Bonker’s Blocker Pro Staffer, The Rocket was expected to test, verify the efficacy and promote the Bonker’s Blocker. What was the Bonker’s Blocker? Back in the day I had a theory that buck antlers were actually receptors, or “antennas” that could detect human brain waves. The bigger the antlers the better the detection and the smaller the antlers the weaker the detection. My first plan was to wrap tinfoil around the buck’s antlers to block his ability to detect human brain waves. After suffering several severe injuries from trying to put tinfoil on large antlers I thought maybe blocking the brain waves from getting out of the hunters head may be a better way to go. That was the birth of the Bonker’s Blocker, it was a kit of tinfoil sheets that when properly applied to a deer hunter’s head would block their brain waves from being transmitted through the atmosphere to be detected by a buck’s antenna.

IOWA BOWHUNTERS ASSOCIATION

The testing was going well, even with the massive brain wave power The Rocket possessed and emitted we had data that showed button bucks could be blocked by one sheet, spike bucks could be blocked with two sheets, forkies could be blocked by four sheets and six pointers by six sheets. We thought it was a linear relationship, one sheet of tin foil for each tine. Then The Rocket was busted by a nontypical 250 inch monster. This presented a conundrum; how to control for nontypical bucks? We ended up with four Bonker’s Blocker kits on The Rocket’s head. Every time we added sheets the buck would get a little closer before moving off in another direction. We really needed this data if our long term goals of expanding the brand into elk and moose hunting was to come to fruition. The day of the 48 sheet Bonker’s Blocker test was an unusual day for late October, it was hot and humid and the potential for rain showers were in the forecast. I applied the Bonker’s Blocker to The Rocket’s head and he started his walk to the stand. His path took him across a clearing. He never heard or saw what hit him, but evidence showed that he was struck by lightning. Right on the top of his head. A lesser man would not have survived a hit like that. His lawyers claimed it was the Bonker’s Blocker that made him a giant lightning rod and it was my lawyers claim that the Bonker’s Blocker actually saved him by absorbing the brunt of the charge therefore saving his life. The settlement we reached included a lifetime supply of aluminum polish for the Bonker’s Blocker that was permanently fused to his skull and he would abide by the nondisclosure agreement he signed to become a Bonker’s Blocker Pro Staffer. The part of the settlement that I didn’t like was I had to agree to stop my research into deer antenna and their ability to detect human brain waves. And just like that, my dream of getting rich from deer hunting was dashed upon the rocks of reality. OK, to get back to the story at hand, it was My Personal Guide, My Personal Guide’s Assistant,

The Rocket and me in Canada, at the same lake and on the same week as last year. The division of duties were My Personal Guide did most of the meal planning, all of the fish filleting, well, except for the one northern I hacked up, The Assistant did most of the cooking, The Rocket helped out where ever he could and I did what I do best, nothing. There were dishes that I did once and I had to make a box of mac and cheese on the last night. They had lots of stuff they wanted to add to the mac and cheese but I don’t think they realized I needed remedial help just to boil the water. Chef Dave always brought a big container of pico de gallo and a giant bag of tortilla chips to go along with it. We would eat pico all week. Without even knowing about the pico The Rocket brought the makings for something called sirveechee, seems it’s made with fresh fish, assorted herbs and vegetables soaked in lime juice. Hence the northern I hacked up. The Rocket’s recipe called for way more fish than one 25 inch hacked up northern produced. He guesstimated the correct proportions for the recipe, mixed it all up, put it in the fridge overnight and we tried it the next day. I’d give it three thumbs up if I had three thumbs. But Rocket, you lose half a thumb for not possessing the where with all to bring the Tostito Scoops. As I was to learn latter the correct spelling is “ceviche”. Regardless of the spelling or pronunciation it was some good stuff. The Rocket had plenty of lime juice and other makings for another batch so we kept another northern and our limit of walleyes, which on this lake were two per angler. Normally we only keep six fish for supper but on that day we kept our full limit of eight. My Personal Guide tried his hand at filleting the northern, he didn’t hack it up as badly as I did but we both believe no matter how many tube of you videos we watch on how to deal with the Y bones in a northern there is no replacement for practice. Between the northern and two walleyes the next batch had plenty of fish and was better than the

I can’t remember any of the scores of the games, but The Assistant and I beat The Rocket and My Personal Guide. One may assume that if The Assistant and I beat The Rocket and My Personal Guide that The Rocket must not be good at playing euchre. On the contrary, he actually counts trump, knows when to throw the hook and can remember what trump is. None of which I have the ability to do. The trip home was uneventful. Fearless V2.0 was as comfy and reliable as ever. We did stop at The Beer Store in Ft. Francis to stock up on White Rabbit a.k.a. Old Style Pilsner. I don’t know if anybody will bring any White Rabbit to deer camp this fall, but I doubt it. As I write this it is the middle of August the Cubs are doing well. It has been a season of ups and downs, 10 game winning streaks followed by 10 game losing streaks. Currently the Cubs are the top wild card team in the National League and only four games behind Milwaukee for the division lead. Stay tuned, it could be a Bonker’s World Series.

cont. from page 9 first batch. Much like Chef Dave’s pico we ate that ceviche for the next three days. The fishing was as good this year as any, we found two more “go to” spots. One was called “Disaster Rock” with a nod to Molly Hatchet because fishing around the rock was flirting with disaster, and the other, to use another tube of you term is more of a spot on a spot, the original spot really hasn’t been given a name, it is on the way to almost everywhere and on one particular day it was non stop on the spot on the spot for quite awhile. Of course the next day in the same spot on the spot was good but not quite as good. The winner of the Big Fish of the Year went to The Assistant for a 25.25 inch walleye. Everybody caught lots of 22 inch fish with the occasional 23-24 inch but The Assistant caught the only fish over 25 inches. As always the week goes by way too fast, and while we were waiting for the airplane we were playing the final game of euchre to determine who would be the 2026 Blackbirch Euchre Champions.

CLAYTON COUNTY ARCHERS Clayton County Archers was founded in 1978 in Elkader with 4 original members. The 3-D range is located on Hwy 13 between Strawberry Point and Elkader on park land owned by Clayton County Conservation Board. The first course consisted of 28 cardboard silhouette targets. The course was expanded over the years to 2.5 miles in 2 loops through the wooded park. In the early years, winter leagues were run in 3 different towns with 110 members. Now, about a dozen dedicated members put on 2 shoots a year, June and August. We support the IBA and its mission and look forward to our 50th anniversary in 2028. You can find us on Facebook at Clayton County Archers or www.claytoncountyarchers.com

BOWHUNTER OBSERVATION SURVEY NOW DONE ONLINE

Iowa bowhunters can help the Iowa DNR better understand deer populations by participating in the annual Bowhunter Observation Survey—which is now conveniently offered online. Each time you hunt, you can report the number of deer you observe and time spent in the stand, providing valuable information on deer numbers and population trends across the state. The survey takes only a few minutes to complete and gives hunters a direct opportunity to contribute to Iowa’s deer management.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION Membership Expiration Many people do not know when their IBA membership expires. To alleviate this a bit, the last time you renewed is shown following your name in the address section on the back of the particular issue.

LIFE MEMBERS

We have life member pins available upon request at no charge to you. We do not mail them out, but you can contact any board member and make arrangements to get one. It would be best to just come to a board meeting

(dates listed in the Iowa Bowhunter) and pick it up, but another arrangement would be fine also, it is shaped in a arrowhead and has IBA LIFE MEMBER printed on it.

Looking for a Few Good Men or Women

Are you at that stage in life that you have some time that you would like to volunteer and give back. Your kids have left the nest and you don’t have grandkids yet. Are you a dedicated Bowhunter that cares enough about our sport that you are willing to give up five days a year? The IBA is looking for a few good men or women to run for the board of directors. As in any organization, we need new people to introduce new ideas and stay current with the times to be successful, and also to continually improve the IBA organization. Your involvement helps to ensure that the hunting opportunities we enjoy now will continue for generations to come. The board meets five times a year and never during an archery season; after all we are bowhunters. Three of the meetings are held separately in Des Moines, one is in Des Moines during the SPRING Banquet, and one is in Eldora during the Fall Festival. If you would like more information please contact one of the people to the right.

The IBA completes this purpose through the following:  By improving and increasing the opportunities for bowhunting.  By cooperating with and supporting federal and state agencies, sportsmen’s associations, and conservation organizations, which are insuring the propagation and preservation of game animals in their natural habitat.  By encouraging and conducting educational programs designed to acquaint the public and the archer with the safe and ethical use of bowhunting as an effective method of hunting legal game.  By supporting youth involvement in bowhunting through our continued support of the Iowa Archery in Schools Program. More information on our organization can be found at www.iowabowhunters.org or on Facebook at Iowa Bowhunters Association. Please consider joining our organization, and help us continue to protect, defend, and promote bowhunting and all our natural resources in this great state of Iowa for generations to come.

Becoming a junior area representative is not a free ride so to speak, but does include some expectations and responsibilities. New ideas are always welcome and hopefully these youngsters will be able to provide some to our organization. Providing feedback by means of the Iowa Bowhunter newsletter is one way of keeping in touch and relaying information to other young members of the IBA. Providing pictures, writing an article, and helping out at events are all ways to get involved. An example would be to write about an experience at an NASP tournament, or the Fall Festival, or one of your hunting excursions. As always, you don’t have to be a junior area rep to provide articles, pictures, or other information.That is welcome from all members. Congratulations to these young people and welcome to the junior area rep venture. JUNIOR AREA REPRESENTATIVES RELATED INFORMATION
