Late Season Iowa Buck Harvest

This trip has been one that has been developing for several years. We have built a great relationship with very generous and passionate landowners in Western Iowa. After the invite was made Matt drew the lucky straw to hunt Iowa during the second shotgun season. In October the group worked together to close on a 137-acre farm that had some serious deer already on the farm. We've been in the process of developing a plan on this farm through the fall but now was the time to see how the deer moved for ourselves. During the second shotgun season, the weather was warm, but the deer were moving well at last light. The right buck stepped out into the field with one minute to spare. This buck was a great representative of what western Iowa is capable of producing. But, we expect more and will see this farm develop even more in the coming months and years. It is a true dream to work on a farm with this foundation of habitat.  Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast
