I could harp for days and days on the deer numbers in Iowa. Most people think of us as a deer haven, but since the mid 2000's our numbers are drastically down. We're to the point that the NW part of the state is only allowing bucks to be taken (no does). We have little public land to start with and most of them had tons of does taken during the various hunting seasons. Hunting went from excellent to mediocre at best. Like any state, there's still pockets of deer on managed private land, but for the majority of us hunters on public land or non managed private - we're experience a big time drop in deer sightings.
