slickhunter Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 What do you think is the best time to bow hunt Iowa? I drew a tag for this year, and trying to decide what week to hunt.........Nov 5-11 or Nov 12 - 18. What's your opinion? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIDeer4Life Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Re: Best time to bow hunt Iowa ??? im from SW Wisconsin and the best time here would be 5-11 weekend. Bucks are into more of the chasing phase so I think thats definately your best option. Good luck! Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switchback29A1 Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Re: Best time to bow hunt Iowa ??? How about anytime...a place with as many big deer as Iowa, hard to complain about anytime there. Plus, it's the land that Gable Built..Hawkeye Wrestle 2007!

Guest Huntergirl Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Re: Best time to bow hunt Iowa ??? I am from Iowa and the very best time will be the end of Oct -Mid Nov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Re: Best time to bow hunt Iowa ??? Both of the times you mentioned are great times. This year I'd choose the 11th through the 18th since the full moon falls on the 5th. Traditionally, the time I prefer to bowhunt in Iowa is the 2nd week of November provided I'm not hunting during the full moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slickhunter Posted October 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Re: Best time to bow hunt Iowa ??? I'll probably go out the 5-11, I harvested a decent 140 class 8 pointer the year before on the 13th, plus saw a monster checking does on the 10th. But like you all know, any time late Oct through mid Nov is awesome so can't go wrong either way thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
