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.
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...
I keep reading the phrase,"Trophy" on this post along with a couple other posts on this site. I'm a little confused, are hunters wanting to change, or amend regulations in Iowa so we have more trophy quality deer?
So you expect the landowner's to feed the deer on their dime, create habitat so you can hunt the deer, then complain because they get an extra anysex tag, if they choose?
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...
I think if you loose party hunting, it's going to affect the deer herd, just not the way the trophy buck hunters would like. From reading through this thread, I get the feeling it's not about Iowa having a healthy deer herd, seems to be more concerns about being able to kill big bucks. Well...
Was refreshing seeing the POTUS not needing a teleprompter to read a speech someone else had written for him. Not trying to shake an invisible person's hand next to him, and didn't need to be escorted off the stage in the right direction. Oh, and no need for Press Secretary to come on later to...
This is my season of choice as of now. I used to get a doe tag for the 1st season, mainly just to be able to hunt, and yes I could party hunt and use my brother's tag if needed and get an any sex tag for late ML. The county eliminated doe tags and made 1st season shotgun buck only, I'll just...
I would have to agree with you. From reading post on here and couple other websites. When folks are talking about managing a healthy deer herd, I get the feeling they're complaining more about not seeing bigger, older bucks. Hence the comments about the orange army's mentality if it's brown...
Natchez flyer I got has several trail cameras on sale. One is marked down to $24. I have a one I got at Walmart a couple years ago for $25 and it works fine for what I need it for.
