Hi new to the area and new to the board I relocated here from Ky about 5 months ago to reunite with my wife who relocated here for her job. I stayed behind to sell the house not a easy thing to do right now. We are currently living in the Cedar Rapids area and this will be my first season deer hunting IA. I mostly just bow hunt I have not gun hunted in about 12 years. I owned my own hunting land in KY so it has been quite some time since I hunted public land. My questions are how much pressure does public land get during bow season during the week? Is public hunting decent in this area are would I be better off to hunt other areas of the state. I would appreciate any tips or advice on hunting any of the public land around CR or elsewhere. Thanks Dave C
