I have no idea about the tags. He has taken his 3 kids down there these later years. All I know is that nice one is a dandy. It's a 6x6 with if I remember correctly had a 24 inch inside spread. He says he can see more and larger bucks on one good day down there than up here in a lifetime.

th82457 - I think your best bet would be drive here and start knocking on some doors. You would be surprised how many people say yes when you meet them face to face.

Yes, we would be driving to Iowa from Michigan. We could possibly make a trip prior to applying for tags to meet landowners face to face, but obviously need a general area for a quick trip, hard to cover the whole state from here.
Thanks

Check out the area between Missouri Valley and Pisgah, there is a fair amount of public land there.
