2009/2010 Hunt:   
W
e ran 100%
on gun hunters the first two seasons and had just enough snow and cold weather to put the deer on the foodplots big time. However, the late season 2009/2010 was the most brutal weatherwise in the fifteen years I've been outfitting in Iowa. The temperatures ranged from  5 BELOW ZERO to a frigid 40 BELOW ZERO for the entire January portion of the season and when combined with 24" of blowing, drifting snow pushed with 35 mph winds, hunting became an endeavor in survival rather than an enjoyable hunt.  Many of the main roads drifted shut on a daily basis and we needed a snowmobile to get around on all the leases and to the foodplots. Many of the bigger bucks started dropping their antlers early, apparently due to the stress, something we've never run into before. We all survived and so did a lot of the big bucks.  
                    Hopefully it'll be another fifteen years before this happens again!

What's your best day hunting?
      How about two does and two turkeys on the Omaha Reservation in the a.m.
       and this buck on our Iowa lease in the p.m.
