It won't be long and I'll find out, hopefully just verify, that my
dad drew his Iowa bow tag this year. My brother and I have applied
for him the past couple years, knowing it wasn't something he'd do on
his own but if/when he drew a tag he'd "probably" find a way to get
excited and go. Well, I scouted a good spot this spring for him. I'll
be muzzleloader hunting it this winter, but I'm taking a week to
bring my dad out there this November for a week to get first crack
and bowhunt it. I'm really looking forward to this trip with my dad
and will hopefully film him taking his best buck ever. It's been
several years since my dad and I went on a hunting trip together and
I'm vowing to make more time for that despite my fanatical approach
to hunting (versus my dad's laid back approach).This is a farm that's on the small side. It'll be a good one for our
upcoming Farm Country video that's in the works. Most of us don't
have the luxury of 600+ acre farms, but we all know the great
potential in Iowa. I don't plan on running my dad all over the
country, which is why a rut hunt where the bucks are on the move and
my dad can hunt fewer spots should be great. I'll post more in the
coming months as we find out if he draws and then go scout some
summer velvet bucks.
