Our dates are just about right on every year here in Iowa, but it's kinda hard to miss with a 5 week season. Two tom bag limit in the spring and one either sex in the fall is ok, too. I do wish there was a short 'bow only' season before the regular gun season opened and or allow hunters to buy 1 shotgun and 1 archery tag. Now if you buy a archery turkey tag (which allows you to hunt all 5 weeks<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>) your second tag must also be archery only...you cannot buy one of each...and we definitely don't have a shortage of turkeys!
