"I was planning on doing some next year after I've scouted out an area. My plan was to hike in for two miles on National Forest and set up camp and hunt the area from my base camp. Didn't know if I'd run into a lot of people that way but kind of doubt it. "






Thats a great way to hunt public land and feel its all yours. I find that when you do that you only run into other true hunters and not your week-end warriors that skirt the edges( and push the game in deeper,another plus). The only draw back I found is its along way back to the truck dragging your trophy. Can't use any motorized vehicles on public land in Iowa...
