Iowa Archery Whitetails Zone 5

Looking to put a group of 4 together for a November 2026 Archery Hunt. DM me if you want more information - Iowa lottery closes at the end of May. You'll need 6 points to pull this tag.

Good luck! My group of 4 (Brother and cousins) are from Michigan and we have 6 points but we might are going to wait another year before drawing. (Unfortunately my wife's cancer has returned and our focus is on treating that so decided to just put in for another point this year.) We will be hunting Zone 5 as well and have gone out and scouted every spring since 2020 so we feel like we have a pretty good idea of the areas we want to hunt.

I'll be purchasing my 4th preference point this year. Can't wait to get out there in in 2028 or 2029!

It's nice to hunt with a group especially family and you're doing it right - if you can come and scout at least the 2 or 3 years before you hunt, you're going to be miles ahead and have 20 spots picked out.

Sorry to hear about the wife - your focus is on the correct deal.

Get another point and it will be a for sure deal next year - Let me know if you need any help I live on Rathbun Lake.

It'll be here before you know it like I said above start coming and scouting once a year and it will be easier when you get to your hunt year.

If you need a place to hunt in Iowa or Kansas DM me and maybe I can help.

Get a Kansas point before that draw closes on the 24th. We hunt down there too.

Thank you. Yes, my wife is my main focus as Iowa will always be there. A couple of our spots are near Rathbun so once I have enough posts to DM I will reach out. I have found all of the people I have met from Iowa are very friendly and helpful. We have some world class smallmouth fishing in my back yard so if you ever find yourself up this way let me know and I can help you out with that.
