All deer tags are limited draw licenses which O.A.S. can help you plan and obtain. The average buck harvest is 75% annually with an amazing average antler gross score of 160”. To keep the buck age structure where it needs to be for future success, there is a strictly enforced 125” minimum on antler size. To also ensure success for you and future hunters, the outfitter limits the hunting pressure on the 5,000 acres of property by keeping hunter numbers down and not hunting until the rut. The hunts are conducted from treestands, box blinds, and ground blinds throughout the properties that are placed in the optimal location for hunting action.

Archery, shotgun, and late muzzleloader hunts are 5 hunting days 6 nights lodging. Last week of October through all weeks in November can be productive for archery hunters focusing on rutting behavior. The two early December shotgun seasons are a great time to catch big bucks on their feet and be able to extend your range with a firearm. The late December to early January muzzleloader season is an incredible opportunity to hunt big mature bucks hitting food sources during the frigid temps of winter. Shotgun and muzzleloader hunts during the cold weather will take place from wooden carpeted enclosed tower stands with sliding windows and heaters. No matter what season or style of hunting you prefer, successful or not, Iowa will produce the whitetail hunting adventure you have always dreamed of.
