[QUOTE="nwsg76, post: 4333178, member: 7241"] I hAve hunted iowa for over 10 years. You have to decide do you want to experience the rut every 3-4 years or go gun hunt about every yr. I started out gun hunting until I learned the area....then focused on archery. Archery in that zone may need 3 or 4 points going into draw to get drawn. 2 may not make it uneeds very lucky. Many folks have been sitting on side lines for several years due to die off in iowa. MaNY cashed in this year....and points needed went up in most zones. Archery is great and mthere's good ground in zone 6. I prefer private land and it's typically better. Shotgun can be a zoo but that typicaly helps if you don't have a great place. I would stay away from public shotgun season. First gun is decent weather but 2nd is very cold as well as muzzloader season. Late muzzle can be good if you have food and no pressure. But the deer can seem hard to get on Oh yea....gun season tags are typically drawn with o to 1 point. So you need to decide a weapon and keep applying for archery or burn your points in 2017 for gun.
