all the states have their HoneyHoles....the comments about IL are Funny....IL is no better than Ia,OH, NE, MO ect ect...we just have more bowhunters than those other states probably combined wich means more big bucks are seen and taken. thats the bottom line.

also People forget about the Northern half of the state....which is fine with me...i know where some real honey holes are, i just dont have permission to hunt...its probably the best non managed Big buck private(partially public but you gotta be juiced in)area in the state...only locals know about it and its a fairly big area.


oh and by the way....IA doesnt even come close to IL for Bowhunting....
IL has it All...alot of times on one property...IA doesnt have many places like that. Id take Wis, Indiana, OH, Mo over Iowa anyday...not saying IA doesnt have GOod Deer...but i think the others have better Ground to hunt...unless your good at stalking Corn field .the Majority of IA just to flat and Plain for me to like.....
