My season won't be over until late January. I still have one antlerless archery tag and 5 antlerless gun tags.
State = IA, 100% private
Method(s) = 80% Archery, 20% muzzle
Type of hunting = 95% Tree stands, 5% Stalking
Areas hunted = farm ground and rural housing developments.
Hours hunted = Lots, can't even guess.
Deer seen = Lots, again don't want to guess.
Bucks seen = Many
Legitimate shot opportunities = On bucks? I'm guessing 30.
Passed = Most.
Tagged= I harvested two archery bucks (one state wide any sex tag 8 point, one landowner tag 10 point) and I have filled 9 antlerless tags (3 ML, the rest archery). Deer numbers are down and I don't think we will be able to continue the doe harvest. I think we have achieved our herd reduction effort.
