I'm curious too.

Include bow season to the list too.

Has anyone heard any information as to what the new regulations they're proposing for Western Iowa? Are they adding more counties with buck only 1st season shotgun and no doe tags? Been hearing meeting advertised, but couldn't find any information about the new proposals.

That's one busy deer!

Well IC is a blue city!

Yup, make a wet line before starting your fire.

Party hunting and deer drives are two separate things. Can't party hunt during late muzzleloader. You can do a deer drive during LM, but once you tag a deer and don't have another valid deer tag, you can't keep driving deer, even if you don't carry a gun.

I don't think you can push deer without a valid tag even if you're not carrying a gun?

Most are opposed to party hunting which is a group sharing tags. If a group of 5 hunters each have a tag and each person kills a deer, it's ok. If that same group of hunters each have a tag and they kill 5 deer, but maybe a couple of the hunters just weren't in the right place and another in...

Do away with party hunting isn't going to stop those who are trespassing. Party hunting has nothing to do with making them trespass! Same people will more than likely trespass if they go late ML, just who they are. Also seems to be less hunters versus ten years ago, or atleast around the...

Party hunting really isn't the reason for less deer in Iowa. EHD and CWD have killed a lot more deer in Iowa than I think has been reported. It's not picky on the age or gender of deer it kills, but you do see a lot of mature bucks reported being found dead. Look around where you hunt and...

I know people don't like party hunting, but I don't see it going away either. I see lot bigger problems in Iowa when it comes to maintaining a quality deer herd,which is not the same and maintaining a trophy buck herd. Yet the party hunting topic seems to divide more hunters versus bringing...
