Gun season in Iowa begins in December after the rut.....a reason we have a reputation for producing record bucks. Bucks are more visible and stupid during the rut, if it were during the gun season the older deer would be quickly decimated. Pretty much what has happened in many of the eastern states where few mature bucks exist in those young herds.
Bow hunted for the last seven days, some of the best deer activity ever. Rut is getting more and more active every day. Can hardly go more than 15 minutes without seeing something get chased through the woods. Nephew from West Virginia flew out to hunt last week, said he had never seen anything like it in all his years of hunting.
A few pics taken the other day, competition among the bucks has brought on a lot of fighting.
