Iowa zone 4,5,6

[EastTNboy]

Are u bow hunting I assume? I muzzleloader hunted in 2020 in zone 5 for 5 days and did not see one other truck around lake I was hunting and not one hunter in the woods. I'm sure it will be busier during archery season but I think u can find places with much pressure. A good friend lives there and he says it isn't bad. If you need more info feel free to pm me. I'll help u all I can.

Sent you a pm

I'll be there for the first time in Zone 5 from Oct 28 thru Nov 12 if anyone wants to keep in touch about it. Wouldn't mind getting daily reports from others.

Is archery the preferred hunt to go on? Assuming it coincides with the rut.

Been a long 2 weeks filled with ups and downs. On the afternoon of day 14 I finally connected. Climbed tree yesterday afternoon and spotted this buck in CRP field walking around and rubbing. After 10 minutes of watching him and trying to unsuccessfully call him in, I decided to go to him. After a 45 minute stalk he got up from his bed at 12 yards! Incredible hunt.
