Thanks for the comments, muddy & vman. I am not trophy hunter,no wak-um-stak-um kinda guy. Just like seeing deer, at this point some mature specimens. I love venison and so does my wife. Here in Mich, you are fortunate to see a yearling buck a season. I know Iowa has much larger deer herd, better feed,shorter winters,better buck/doe ratio,etc.But still to figure out why our deer seem so timid/spooky.Been told Iowa deer/bucks, move before dark,especiallyduring pre rut and rut.I have lots of Nat.Forest,fair amont of hunting going on, bear,pats,squirrels,4wheelr trails,but Iowa farms,neighbors,roads,seem to be as much disturbance? Have hard time explaining big difference?Enjoy reading all your comments&advice here.Thanks,loneranger
