I'll tell you that Iowa does have some huge bucks, but that I own a small acreage, surrounded by thousands of acres of timber with crop land intermingled through out. Saw a great buck chasing does within a mile of my place on a county road. A couple weeks later, saw him dead along that same road as a fellow was cutting his head off. Hit by a pick up. Saw several small bucks but no shooters. During shotgun season I did see a buck that would score over 200, but he was 400 yards out on a dead run. The majority of huge bucks I've seen have been dead by the road.[:'(] Vehicles kill some of the best ones.
