Iowa Hunts
Iowa Topics | Turkey HuntingOur Iowa turkey hunting land does lend itself to the self guided turkey hunter. However, few take part as the Iowa spring turkey tag and hunting is by a draw system with an expensive price tag. Those that do hunt turkey on our private land do so for the adventure of adding one more state to their list of successful wild turkey hunts. To date, over 98% of the spring turkey hunters in the Association have filled their Iowa spring tags.
PressureOverall, our private Iowa land is relatively under used due to deer and turkey tag prices and draw limitations. That more than any reasons leaves us with the limited Iowa acreage that we hold in lease. The upland bird hunter being a minority in the Association certainly takes the opportunity of the earlier Iowa opening season in October and earlier colder winter temperatures. However, for most upland bird hunters once Missouri opens a week later those that seek quail hunt that state while Kansas draws those that want pheasants. This leaves most of Iowa during prime deer season to deer hunters.
