Didn’t draw 5 with 3 points. Thought we had a good chance so we didn’t just buy a point like the last few years which means we wasted the $1xx for the general hunting license since we had to buy it to apply. Will go into 2020 with 4 points.
Will apply for a zone next year that I have a farm secured in. Going into the draw with 5 points, my scouting/begging/asking will begin winter(ish) 2020
I am buying my second point this year and plan to hunt Iowa in a few years on public ground. To anyone that has hunted here, is it the mecca for whitetails it's made out to be or is it being over hunted and over hyped?
