IOWA WHITETAIL DEER HUNTING

Simply put, if you're not hunting Zone 5 of Iowa, your not hunting Iowa. When setting up our hunt camp locations we not only selected the highest quality States to hunt but also selected to hunt the highest ranking Counties in those States.  Careful research will display that it’s not enough to just hunt a good State.  You must research the State and discover what areas in what States are the “hot spots” for trophy whitetail deer. Iowa gun tags are easily obtained.  Iowa bow tags take around 3 years to obtain. 

Rules, regulations, on whitetail deer hunting in Iowa:

The State of Iowa limits firearm hunters to shotgun, muzzleloader or handgun only during the Firearms Seasons. No rifles are allowed. While this may discourage the booking of gun hunts by some sportsmen, it is common knowledge that these same limitations may be the chief reason for the existence of trophy bucks in this state. Simply put, when you limit hunters to shotgun or muzzleloader you limit the distance they are able to shoot. In turn by doing so, deer live longer as they are more difficult to harvest. All this equals longer life spans and larger racks. The firearms tags are applied for through a lottery process in May which IMB Outfitters will assist you with. The Iowa Firearm Lottery has yielded an estimated 85% tag obtainment success rate in the past for IMB hunters. Although tags are NOT a guarantee, they are relatively easy to obtain. In fact we have had Iowa hunters that drew Firearms tags several years in a row.  The Iowa gun hunt is exceptional because of the difficulty of obtaining an Iowa Archery Tag.  Because it takes longer to get an Iowa archery tag, our Iowa farms nearly go unhunted until gun season.  This fact has given birth to a very naive whitetail deer herd with the biggest bucks in America.
