Iowa Deer Hunting

Antlers & Beards Hunting Club / Carlisle, IA / (515)989-9967

I have grown up hunting the very timber that you will be hunting for that gigantic whitetail. I have leased all your hunting "hot spots" from my father. He farms more than 3500 acres of prime Iowa deer hunting ground. In other words, he plants a huge food plot for me every year !!! This ground has been in the family for many years, so we know the territory. We know where the deer bed down, we know where they like to go for food, we know their habits, and we spend our free time scouting for trophy Iowa whitetails.

Droptine Outfitters in Iowa / Guthrie Center, IA / (641)524-5211

Located in Zone 4, our shotgun season does not open until December allowing our bow hunters to hunt undisturbed throughout the full spectrum of the Iowa rut. Our bow hunting only program ensures a good age structure increasing the number of mature Iowa bucks. Our minimum on harvestable bucks is 125 inches. There is a $500.00 fine for bucks that fall well short of this minimum. This system helps maintain our age structure and keeps hunters from taking less-than-desirable deer.

Faeth's Fowl Play / Fort Madison, IA / (319)372-2792

At Faeth's we listen to our hunters. You want a stand moved, we'll move it. You want to hunt all day, we will make you comfortable. You want to shoot a doe, we're all for that.
