I live in Muscatine. Our city has a bowhunt and i really don't know alot of the details but i know they have you take a proficiency test first. You must be able to hit a paper plate at 20 yards. Easy enough. I think you can purchase an unlimited amout of doe tags if you like.

I do know a person here in town that takes about 13 to 15 does every year from inside the city limits. He must have a really good area to hunt. By what i have heard the city will give out only 3 to 5 buck tags to the people that shoot the most does every year.
There are certain rules about the size of the property you can hunt. I believe it must be at least 10 acres in size.

I have always thought about doing the city hunt myself too but i run alot of trailcams throughout the summer and fall. All the bucks i see on film have me drooling and i don't think so much about hunting does after that. It would be nice to have a place within minutes of your house to hunt though.
