I wondered why the early muzzy tags no longer sold out. I didn't realize that guys used to be able to buy an antlerless doe tag for shotgun season as well. It is good they did away with that because with the party hunting allowed in Iowa, that guy with the antlerless tag can still shoot a buck...
Couldn't agree more. I've saw more people out on public lands than ever before in '21. Especially during pheasant season. Every time we showed up to a public spot, there were already guys there, even during the week. There were WELL over 20 guys opening day on the public we hit. In the previous...
Wow...I might want to re-think hunting next to private ground in Colorado! Knowing my luck I would shoot a big bull and he would hop the fence. The chance of the owner letting you look for a big bull would be next to nothing I imagine. I thought in Colorado you just had to make an attempt to...

Which season did you hunt in 2021? Rifle or archery? Was thinking about heading to this unit for archery next year if I don't draw in a different state this year. Was going to pack into the wilderness area.
