[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 4162380, member: 10373"] Iowa has no rifle season but their shotgun season allows party hunting which can be very effective at eliminating bucks. For me the largest single issue that will ensure success on older bucks for any state is hunter mindset. As long as hunters will shoot anything legal, young bucks will be killed. Limiting the buck harvest will eventually help save some younger bucks. So does short seasons or bow only during the rut. I've witnessed first hand what happens when 1 and 2 year olds are passed and some 3 year olds. I'd love to see this practiced state wide but the ingrained mindset will be difficult to change.
