If you have both a bow and a muzzleloader in your stand/blind you also have to be wearing orange.I don't think that you can use a bow for the November antlerless season.To fill a November antlerless tag.But why would anyone want to.You could just as easy get an antlerless bow tag.

I hunted this morning for 4 hours.High 20's with 20+ mph hour winds.But no rain or drizzle yet.I saw nothing.I will be going back out this afternoon.Dressed warmer.I think the deer should be moving early if at all.I always have a piece of indoor/outdoor carpet cut to the shape of my stand...

I have changed my mind.I believe Iowa should have OTC tags for NRs and FREE NRLO tags.Any if you have family land to hunt in Iowa then NRs should be able to hunt the same as a resident.Then in a couple year Iowa will have a crappy deer herd just like Minnesota,Missouri and Wisconsin.Then these...

Why would it be very odd to see a doe with her button buck fawn on Nov.18.I wouldn't call that unusual at all.Does that have been bred will pick thier fawns back up. The rut will keep becoming less and less intense as the doe numbers drop.When the does are all bred in an area the bucks move out...

LOL Who is Brad Paisley? Does he hunt? Yes I would/do stand up for what I think is right.I will and have told NRs how I feel to thier face.work with a lot of hunters from Missouri.Do you think I am scared to stand up for something I am passionate about? My state,my country,my family and my...

A friend of mine gut shot a deer a couple weeks ago on a Saturday moring about 7:30am.We found the buck Monday afternoon.It was dead but hadn't been for very long.There was blood bubbling out of the exit wound when I walked up on him.But he was only a 1/4 miles or so from where he was shot. I...

There is nothing better than a big beautiful 8 pointer.CONGRATS on an awesome buck.

Threads like this seem to always end up in Iowa resident hunters(people that matter) and NR(people that don't matter)argueing over something that ONLY the people that matter can possibly influence. I am wondering how many of the Iowa hunters on here go to other states hunting forums and argue.I...

You can hunt 80 days with a bow and you feel you need 2 more? I will be bowhunting the first day of late muzzy season.Either with a muzzy tag or my bow tag if it's still unfilled.I don't think there is a lot of hunting pressure after the first weekend of the 2nd season.At least in my area. I can...

I agree with Cedar Creek.Effigy Mounts is a monument.It represents Iowa's history and you guys that think you should be allowed to hunt in that monument should do a little reading on history so you understand that. Also Greg Bickal....If you just want to just shoot does I don't think you HAVE to...

I predict that in the next 4 or 5 days there will be a lot of nice bucks killed.I saw more big bucks today that I have total all year.

Yes.You should have shot him.Maybe you would have gotten tha pass thru on cam.

Hardwood..I for one don't care if the DNR eliminates the NR does tag.But I would like to see all the NRs with doe tags haul a doe home in thier truck instead of a buck with someone else's tag on it.I am quite certain 99% of non-residents wouldn't come here from parts unknown just to shoot a doe...

This season had a great intention when it was started.It was meant to be a season for service men and college students to come home for the Thanksgiving weekend and hunt with thier families.It was thought that it was the only time possible to do it as the Christmas holiday comes after gun...

A lot of the adult does have been bred and picked thier fawns back up.Last week one day I thought I was hunting in a nursery school.I had deer around me all day.Never went 5 minutes without seeing a deer.BUT all were fawns.No does around at all.Every now and then a dink buck would come in and...

Are you serious crietvelt? You just posted on another thread that you are going doe hunting in the November antlerless season.now you post that the numbers are drastically low.Why would you comtinue to shoot does if you feel the numbers are low?

I have heard that this will be the last year for the November antlerless season.It really has no effect around the places I hunt though.I don't think I have ever seen anyone hunting it.

Mid-day is the time to hunt right now.A friend had a 150'' 10pt come in at 11 and didn't offer a shot. Another friend shot a 160'' 10pt at 12:30 this afternoon.I saw a huge 8 and a big 6 on my way to stand at 2pm.Then nothing from stand.

Antlerfreak...what other state in the country can you buy a doe or cow tag and be legal to shoot a buck or bull.Do you think Iowa is the only state that has it right?Do you think Iowa is right to be the only state to allow party hunting? A NR puts in for the draw and don't draw but he is still...

I guess you didn't reat the "IF" part Risto.
