A friend and I are looking at taking a trip to Iowa next fall for a bowhunt and are wondering if anyone could help us out with a good starting point. Are there any good areas of public land with good deer hunting? How tough is it to get permission to hunt private land for an out of stater and how tough is the draw for a non-resident tag? Any help would be greatly appreciated. We would much rather have a do it yourself hunt than hire an outfitter.
