jnrbronc Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Re: tips muzzleloading in iowa I've been doing some bow hunting since the opener in Iowa and the buck sightings have been slow. The ones I have been seeing have been right at the end of shooting time (with the exception of a 1.5 year old). I've been seeing lots of deer around a wild apple tree out in a pasture. Monday night I was hunting some oaks that were raining acorns and saw lots of deer with a 2.5 year old ten point coming in at dark. I'm going early muzzle again this year. All of my success during early muzzle season has been at the very end of shooting light. Maybe this cold weather snap will make them get up and move a little earlier this season. I hunt between timber and standing corn, catch them heading to the corn in the evenings. I'll spend the day shooting a few does. So my advice is find the food source and be there late in the day. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
