they decide when where and how you hunt
In Iowa they do have certain areas of public hunting.....and good hunting there...but to many people surprised someone hasn't been shot....most of the time you have to know someone and get on their land...a lot of farmers want the deer gone...they destroy the crops......but don't trust most people because afraid of getting livestock shot...so need to know someone.....down here also have public hunting areas.....deer no so plentiful so really have to go deep into woods...and 4wheelers not allowed!....so few go.....I pay $400 dollars a year and go in with 6 other guys....we have about 600 acres that is just us...lots of timber....land no good for anything but deer hunting....take our 4wheelers any where we want...most of us know where each other has their food plots and stands.....works out great....I park my 4wheeler about a block from my stand...throw some deer piss around...put a camo tarp on it and walk to my stand....but here we have Mnt lion...coyotes...and even starting to get a few bear around so need to pay attention to around you
