I see your OP was over 2 years ago, z71, so did you move??

I live there part time,running back and forth Georgia taking care of my elderly sick mother.

I'd look for counties that have the least overall hunting pressure or find a farm in a highly managed neighborhood. SE Iowa may not be the best since it has overall higher hunter numbers than some other areas. All it takes is one or two bad neighbors nearby to destroy an areas bucks age structure but it's hard to find a spot without at least one "bad neighbor".
