Last year, opening bow season morning came and all I could think of in disbelief, I am finally in Iowa bow hunting!! It wasn't easy to get here. I flown out here countless times looking at houses. Came close to closing the deal on 3 other homes but things fell through as they do sometimes. One home was a complete loss due a flood. I flew out of Philadelphia to Des Moines to see this house that I live in now along with 3 other houses with my realtor. I got in on Friday afternoon. I had the addresses so I wanted to take a look. So I drove south towards Albia. I pulled off the paved road, seen countless deer off the gravel road. When I pulled up, I remember saying to myself, look, some chickens are out. Here they was pheasants!! Haha. The house was empty so I took a walk around the house and property within sight of the house. Sean countless deer tracks on my walk. I walked up on the back deck that overlooks the standing corn field. I sat there for about a hour and a half and then watched 5 bucks walk out from the standing corn field about 60 yards off the deck. Without seeing the inside, I knew right there and then I found my home. Early the next morning I informed my realtor that I only need to see one home!!
