do you realize that unless you live in Iowa you will only draw a buck tag once every 2 or 3 yrs. Non resident landowners have no benefits when it comes to tags in Iowa.
True for bow tags, but gun tags are relatively easy to draw. The late season muzzleloader hunt is a hidden secret as far as I'm concerned. You can bowhunt on the MZ tag. The season is mid Dec - mid Jan. That is a great time to hunt big bucks. I figure I can't hunt the rut in 2 places at one time, so I'll hunt the rut at home and hunt late season in Iowa. Big bucks are almost easier to hunt in the late season than during the rut. They are alot more predicatable, that is for sure.
