Thanks.
What part of Iowa you from I live just North of the Quad Cities by the Mississippi river
To me muzzle loader hunting is all pros just love to hunt with them.
You have several seasons to hunt with a muzzle loader here in Iowa pending what county you hunt & the quota of the county.
1 early muzzle 9 days starts mid October
2 early antler-less 3 days after Thanksgiving only certain counties
3 1st shotgun 7 days 1st week December
4 2nd shotgun 9 days 2nd week December
5 late muzzle loader about 22 days starts after 2nd shotgun
6 late antler-less about 20 days starts after late muzzle only certain counties.
