Ya when I moved here from Indiana in 2006 I got my lifetime license and thought it was gold. I did shoot nice bucks off public in 06 & 07, but the decline since then has been significant. 2008-2011 totally sucked. Only by 2012 did I decide I needed to tap into my stockpiled 4 Iowa points. Had a great hunt just like the good old days in Illinois. So bought another point in 2013. Will try to make due on special IL draw hunts until I can draw Iowa again maybe 2015. But I sure as hell won't be accumulating them and stockpiling them like last time. They will promptly get burnt the first year I can draw! Hope they never stop limiting NR's.
