Won't happen, no reason for it. Iowa is only shotgun due to the lack of forest region I believe. Which is why Mn is shotgun in the central area on down. Has nothing to do with protecting the deer. I also agree with the later firearm season. There is a reason not to hold firearms season during peak rut times. Mn would have just as many big deer as other midwest states in my opinion. We see monsters every year in our state and the DNR does little to manage that with exception to the new antler restriction in the very southern part of the state.
