cool good luck :D

Whats a non resident tag cost?

RE: Iowa NR draw results are in!!!
 

About $315 if I recall correctly. For 1 buck. It gives you a small game liscense too so you can hunt pheasants if you are lucky enough to hunt on a property that has birds. That's a little steep IMO. I can go to Missouri which is almost as good for $120 and harvest 1 buck, 1 doe, and a turkey. And I also don't have to apply for the lottery. What sucks though is I have 5000 acres of family farm land in IA that I can hunt whenever I want. I just hate having to jump thru hoops to do it. [:-]

Xtec- what zone will you be hunting? Have a good trip.

RE: Iowa NR draw results are in!!!
 

Good luck Xtec. what zone and how many pref. points did you have??? Just curious.

RE: Iowa NR draw results are in!!!
 

they raised the price to a touch over 400 now. it's insane. We got land there too that we have to jump through hoops to hunt on. blame the iowa bowhunters assoc., they think NR's are stealing land for outfitting and stuff. it's a travesty how they do things in the Iowa DNR. they want deer shot and the population is too high but they won't let NR's help in any of it.

checked my results:DENIED. pricks...well, thank the lord that iowa has party hunting..will be buying my doe tags in the next week or so. take that IBA...

I just checked and I was DENIED!! What a bummer.

RE: Iowa NR draw results are in!!!
 

Hey Xtec! Where in Iowa will you be hunting? How long have you been applying? Why did you choose Iowa over other big buck hot spots? Just curious how all you out of state guys go about getting tags, and why you choose Iowa. Good luck while you're here, and make sure to post pics.

AWARDED - NR BOW ZONE 5 !!!

WOOOOOHOOOOOO!

My group got denied last year so we were able to carry preference points for this years drawing. I didn't think this years drawing was until June 25, so what a nice Father's Day present this has been! I'd beeter get that Switchback ready! I'll guarantee you it will be.

RE: Iowa NR draw results are in!!!
 

got denied for zone 5 [:o]

RE: Iowa NR draw results are in!!!
 

Mizzu is 1 buck, 1 doe and 2 turkeys for that over the counter tag I'm pretty sure.

Deerslayer....The tag isn't a titch over 400, it's $319 and some change. Why b*tch about the price and the situation and keep applying? If you don't like it, quit applying. :D

We got drawn for zone 4 with one pref pt. I jumped in with a group of buddy's after they got drawn 2 years ago. So this would be my second year applying. We picked Iowa so we don't have to deal with the amount of hunters Mizzu has on public land. Another buddy of mine hunts Mizzu not very far from us and he has to deal with a lot of BS with other public land hunters. We all know how some of them can be. [:@] Sure the price is a little spendy, but if you only get drawn every two years then I have that amount of time to save up for it.

RE: Iowa NR draw results are in!!!
 

Xtec

The price would be over $400....State of IA is going to require all NR hunters that draw to purchase a $100 anterless tag.

RE: Iowa NR draw results are in!!!
 

btomlin,

Do you have a link of information from somewhere that explains that $100 doe tag? I've heard things about that, but haven't heard of anything being concrete in regards to that. I was saying that this year's tag wasn't over $400(inlcluding that doe tag).

RE: Iowa NR draw results are in!!!
 

I can't find it on the web, but the "buzz" with a couple outfitter friends I have is that their NR hunters will have to buy an anterless tag.

Not totally sure if it was "in the works" or "if has been established".

RE: Iowa NR draw results are in!!!
 

I'm sort of thinking that was a rumor and not really something that was going to be put in place. There's too much other stuff going on over there now with the rifle doe hunt in Jan in some of the southern counties. I don't know all the specifics, but can you say ouch?! Insurance companies with too much cash and the state is folding under the pressure. Too many deer they say.

congrats XTEC:D:D:D,,, DO YOU HAVE TO GO THREW A OUTFITTER, OR IS THERE PUBLIC LAND OUT THERE[8D]

RE: Iowa NR draw results are in!!!
 

I love hunting in Iowa and the people there are outstanding. We will be there also this fall hunting in Zone 5. I can not wait we have had some good hunts there and some awesome buck encounters. I would hate to see the price go up anymore than it is but as it stands now it is worth it to me. The hunting and the awesome rut activity is worth the price. You do not have to buy a doe tag w/ your drawn buck tag to hunt as far as I know. I could be wrong and might have missed something in there website but I don't think so. Iowa landowners are some of the best and can't wait to get there. Good Luck XTec

RE: Iowa NR draw results are in!!!
 

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...there are already enough people in the woods of northeast MO.[:@]:D

Jamiebuck...

No need to go through an outfitter if your willing to put your "own" time in. Pub land can sometimes be tough to find though. We are hunting on some private land.
