I just got home from a ten day stint in southern iowa. I spent the better part of a week and a half camping, scouting public land, and knocking on doors for permission. I was able to obtain just shy of a thousand acres of private ground throughout my unit, distributed between 4 different properties. With that being said, most of it is mediocre, but one of the farms in a cattle farm that is surrounded by agriculture, and looks like it’ll setup as a great rut property.
Also, I was able to find some really good areas on public, and bumped a number of really good bucks off of different pieces. I’m total, I’d say I walked into 15 different chunks of public, and have narrowed things down to three areas in which I think I could kill a really good deer based on the difficulty of access, and terrain/habitat.
Although I have a lot of hunting to do before I head back to iowa in November, I’m pretty dang excited.
Anything worth doing, is worth over doing.
