For the fifth year in a row, Iowa FNAWS has been granted one of the highly coveted Non-Resident Whitetail Deer Tags from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. This year, Iowa FNAWS is proud to once again partner with the Wild Sheep Foundation to auction this tag via WSF's website. Auction will close on August 29th, 2013 at 4:00pm MST.
It is extremely difficult for a non-resident to obtain a whitetail deer tag in Iowa, however Iowa is home to some of the biggest whitetails in the country and many believe that the next world record could potentially come out of Iowa's rich cornfields. This tag allows the non-resident to have a chance at one of Iowa's exceptional deer.
This statewide tag is good for two deer (1 any-sex and 1 antlerless) in any unit in Iowa. The winning hunter may choose from one of the following seasons: Archery, Shotgun or late Muzzleloader, and can pick his/her weapon of choice which is legal to hunt deer in Iowa.
The hunting seasons and dates can be found a http://www.iowadnr.gov/
The only additional cost to the winning bidder will be the cost of the deer tags and small game/habitat fee of $551 which would be paid directly to Iowa DNR.
This tag is available for the 2013 or 2014 season and the winning bidder must contact Aron Arthur (aron.arthur@dnr.iowa.gov) at the Iowa Department of Natural Resources no later than September 1st, 2013 to specify which season he/she will be hunting.
