Iowa...

[PoisonSnake]

Fellows: I just got back from a trip to Iowa City. I drove very near Albi and kindof up through SE Iowa to get there. To me, the terrain is central/northern MO made over. To think the deer hunting there for big bucks is better makes me wish for a rifle season in December even more. I haven't been out in the woods there like I have in KS and IL. Those two states are thick and wooly as well as having ideal gun/shotgun seasons. Anyway, I didn't get drawn for a tag this year, but I now have an IA preference point. I wouldn't mind living up there even. PS

Im going up there this weekend for a family reunion. I still have a farm up there but its all corn and beans with not one tree on the place. I have never tried to get a tag for up there. I still have friends and family with farms all over the place, but have never thought about hunting there. Might have to go for it next year.

Step AWAY from the crack pipe...

PS - Are you trying to tell me that north Missouri looks almost exactly like southern Iowa??? I'm shocked!

I'd like hunting in IA, deer and birds, but I don't think I'd want to live there. IA is where they filmed "Children of the Corn"!

That ought to scare you away from there.

Ever been lost in a corn field? It sucks.

Lived in Iowa for 5 years. Hunting was great. The rest wasn't worth a pizz.

Actually, I think northern MO looks to be a little flatter. I like the looks of Iowa better.

PS, You need some help.

[Outdoorsfool]

yeah, the terrain really changes when you cross that imaginary line in the cornfield.

BB-"sucks" is an understatement depending on the size of the field.

Maybe I just want to hunt there so darn bad I am imagining things. But, Hwy 34 from Otumwa to Mt. Pleasant looks deery and reminds me a lot of river country ground. North of Mt. Pleasant, it was pretty flat.

My uncle lives in Iowa City, he's actually MOCraig's boss.

MoCraig: I hope you have already applied for your tag. I think you might be a little late. I just found out I was kyboshed. PS

PS,

Why not just wish for a shotgun/smokepole season, and leave the rifles for coyotes, and such. It seems to be working here, and in IA.

I've been wishing for that forever. The only thing I can see happening is the possibility of moving the rifle season to December, and that will take an act of God.
