whats the best for hunting in iowa? bow and shotgun season

Your deer around here are pretty much no different then where you hunted before. Especially whitetail. Depends on what time of year. During the rut i hunt both but do not use a blind, especially when rattling and make sure you have background cover. I shot my 150" class buck with a bow from the ground and he came within 10 yrds of me. My 165" M/L was shot from a stand and it also just depends on preference. Obviously a stand is going to give you more visual capabilities which give you more scouting ability, with you being new the area i would go this route.

I bow hunt from a tree stand and late muzzleloader hunt from homemade ground blinds and treestands. I haven't hunted from a ground blind with a bow yet but I know a lot of guys that have and have had great success. Good Luck!!!
