Iowa deer 2017

sharpshooter · Mar 14, 2017

Any of you guys out there looking to hunt Iowa in 2017?
I'm a NR with 5 points. All my buddies seem to back out every year for some reason or another so I'm looking for a partner.
I really don't have a place to start... I'm open to suggestions!
I would love to hire an outfitter but.....3 kids in college and my checkbook is about tapped out!
I haven't completely ruled it out as I don't want the hunt to be a bust either. I'm from the east coast so scouting and knocking on doors is gonna be kinda tough.

If anybody has any leads, maybe a property they lease that could use another guy for a week or so ( I'm not looking for a hand out and certainly nothing for free, just something fair.
If you like striper fishing I could offer a really good trip for some big bass ( Block Island ).
Hope to hear from someone!

Right now, I'm thinking archery.Not opposed to late season gun. Not sure of the area, that's why I'm kinda asking around. mAYBE ZONE 4, 5 OR 6?

Those are good southern Iowa zones , unfortunately I'm of no help to you down there. I've hunted it but I hated it. Pretty much found we were unwelcome down there even as residents. Big money , big outfitters and mostly anything good was leased up. Better look into an outfitter down that way or maybe someone else can help you. I hunt north and east all the way to the river.
