Gearing up for the iowa early muzzle loader deer season this weekend . Everything is ready except my truck. It went to the shop today for repairs. Hopefully its ready tomorrow so I can make the two hour trip to northeast iowa to my public lands stomping grounds.
 
I just drove through the campground at Yellow River Forest hoping to see a big deer down. There were quite a few people in the Little Paint campground, but no deer that I could see!
I wish they would have not changed it so you cannot hunt Early Muzzleloader and shotgun season. I have always had good luck rattling during the Early Muzzleloader season!

Deer were feeding early in the AM and just before dark. Saw 1o Saturday AM and 8 Saturday night. Had two small bucks work a scrape in front of me. Sunday I saw 9 deer in the AM. The biggest was a 10 point with 17 inch spread (wasn't what I was looking for). Sunday night I went to a different spot and "rattled". I also love rattling in this season. Rattled in a small 8 point then another small 6 point.

good luck to all

It was pretty miserable overe here this a.m, the deer would have had to be close to see them with the fog! Good luck, post up a pic if you catch one!
