Welcome to the addiction. I got my first turkey with a bow this morning! (8 total). yes the hunting should be better in most cases in the 4th season as the hens will be nesting and the toms will still look for love, however they might be smarter when it comes to hunters and setups. where abouts in iowa you from I live and hunt in north central iowa (Hancock/Winnebago counties) Congrats on the turkey and be sure to post pics if possible!
