How are you for sure that you will draw next year?

99%, I’ve got 4 points. Last time I went I had 4 pts and this year 4 points drew an archery tag. Of course there’s no guarantee until tag is in hand.

Ok. I didn’t know. Never hunted Iowa before.

Rutbuster, start building points. No guarantee of getting a Deer because it’s hunting but it’s an experience you won’t forget. Last time I went Deer numbers were down because of EHD. I ended up killing a 20 inch 9 point on last day but it was a younger Deer . But I saw several 150+ bucks but they were out of range. Population is rebuilding good.

Who will you be hunting with? I hunted Iowa last year and experienced a phenomenal hunt. I saw over 90 bucks from a stand and rattled in 13 bucks , during a 10 day hunt. I am booked to go back as soon as I build up my points again.

I’m going back where I hunted before. It’s a small time outfitter. Only has 1-2 hunters at a time. It’s in Van Buren county.
