I was drawn for the First Gun Season--I hunt that season with my Omega (or maybe a new fullstock Hawken I just got this summer).
Licenses were over $500 this year :shock: but the place is worth it to me.
I hunt with an old Marine friend out there who farms with his brother. I have been going out since 1987. Used to hunt pheasants and quail when I had my Gordon Setter, and we did a lot of duck hunting too.
First hunted deer there in 1995--my license cost $104 I think, and Iowa did not even sell out--there was no need for a drawing! The "good old days." :wink:
