All hunts are booked in advance! Please plan accordingly and reach out to us ahead of the season.
To book a hunt with us in Iowa or in Missouri requires:
A $2,000 deposit per hunter per spot via personal check made out to ‘Iowa Trophy Hunts LLC’ . A hunt contract and booking form will be emailed to you with your final quote – these two items can please be completed and returned with your deposit check.
A second and final payment is due in August in the year of operation OR for Iowa Hunts the week after tags are issued.
All payments should please be handled in the same way. All deposits and payments are none refundable and can not be transferred to another hunter. We are flexible and if another payment plan is needed or a scheduling issue / major disaster has arrived we will work with you to the best of our ability.
Once your hunt is confirmed with your deposit it is our responsibility to be ready for your arrival and prepare for your hunt; it is your responsibility to pay on time and acquire all preference points and licenses on time!
We are serious about your hunt and we are available to help so please call anytime.
Note: Iowa spots are typically booking 3 years in advance. The preference points needed for different seasons are always increasing currently it is 2 pref points going into the draw for a guaranteed gun tag and 6 pp for a guaranteed archery tag.
You can only buy Tags / Preference Points in the month of May from the Iowa DNR.
You can only buy 1 pp per year. If you enter the draw and are denied a tag you receive a pp automatically.
You should always be buying these points! The demand for Iowa deer hunting is high and getting higher, and the tags available are not being increased. We choose to not overbook and hope for a hunter to get a tag – lots of problems with this approach! We prefer to plan ahead and know who is hunting in what year and what season.
