I still don't see any relevant stats. Using B&C entries to gauge is just too small a sample size. P&Y would be a far better indicator. The way the stats are calculated in that article is very misleading. To post any mathematical figures that claim Iowa ranks below ANY of those states listed is a complete joke. Iowa has zero gun days in November and their hunting quality is unsurpassed. It blows away Indiana & Illinois. Hell there are nonresidents from every one of those other states that wait 4 years and pay $500 to hunt their slammer public. Been going there since 1990. Why do I see so many guys from Indiana there each year I draw? I've hunted all those states except Ohio. Illinois is not what it once was at it's peak, but the 3 November post-rut gun days will always result in it holding serve.
