To that end, more hunters in the Hawkeye state are buying into the notion of shooting only the biggest bucks while taking does for meat. This approach to harvesting whitetails gives young bucks a chance to mature. Guess you could say it sets the stage for Iowa trophy deer hunts down the road, couldn't you? |
Now according to one report 30 percent of the deer taken in any season in the South Eastern Iowa deer hunt were harvested during the Special Bonus Late Season that runs in January. Which suggests to the game management people Iowa hunters aren't afraid to travel to get an extra deer.
That bit of late season info aside, you're best bet for taking a deer is during the early part of the season. Opening day to be exact.
For one thing don't let the sound of shots in the distance discourage you. If you did a bit of scouting and are near known feeding areas remain confident that your buck is about to appear.
You also don't want to abandon your stand and wander about in unfamiliar terrain.
When scouting think of how your fellow hunters think. An open field off an access road may look great before the season starts. But once it's been turned into a parking lot, it's appeal to the deer will vanish.
If you can't stay in your stand all day watching over a scrape, take a break around noon. Eat and perhaps nap. But get back in time for bucks who may wander back to their scrape in the early afternoon.
Any Iowa deer hunts are likely to be more successful if you keep those opening day tips in mind.
