I just wanted to let eveyone know about the IOWA hunting trip that me and a friend went on and got ripped off big time, and lost our chances at a iowa buck for atleast another 2 years.

We had been planning and putting in for a Iowa bowhunting trip for two years now and finnally got drawn for this season of '06. Anyways we had been researching a few different outfitters and semi guided hunts on lease land and came up with one that we thought looked really good. The things that were apealing were that he told us he only has 8 hunters per year to keep pressure very very low, he also claimed there were 850 acres of land adjoining other lease properties that trophy managed deer also. Everything was untrue. When we showed up we had no beds to sleep in like promised. We figured we didn;t care as long as we saw deer thats all that really mattered anyways. So the first day we go out he told us what stands would be good so we headed out for our first morning hunt and sat in the worst placed stand i have ever seen. I couldn't even draw my bow in order to shoot, it was impossible so i sat on the ground. My buddy had a farmer drive out to where he was sitting and was warned him about not shooting over the property line. In conversations with this farner he told us that there had been people in the same stands we were in for the past three weeks and that a 120" deer was a monster for the area we were hunting.

We both werepromised thatthere was several deer over 150" and two booners that he had been patterning. That was all a lie. We found out very quickly we had made a huge mistake and losrt any hope of getting a chance a mature deer.

I don't want to see anyone else get taken like we did.

The name of the outfit is JAGERMISTER OUTFITTERS in WEST AMANA IOWA.

His name is LYNN BUZWELL. He also guides as a duck hunter and goose hunter.

We Were never refunded our money and are now out alot of money and time we could have hunted at home. We are so frustrated over this situation. This man is a crook and it needs to be known.

If anyone can give me some advice on where their are actual reputable places to hunt iowa i would like to start another trip to IOWA for 2008.
