Description

It is no secret that Iowa is the place to come for monster bucks. We are fortunate to have a lot of quality bucks and a large deer herd in our area. The chance to shoot a world class buck on your stay at Southwest Iowa Outfitters will be very high. We scout year round and have many tree stands set up in strategic locations throughout our properties. We do all the scouting from scouting deer activity, setting trail cameras, and looking for shed antlers.

Iowa is not only known for having big bucks, it is also known for having big turkeys. The heaviest eastern wild turkey weighed just under 36 lbs and was killed in Southwest Iowa only about 40 minutes away from our lodge! The biggest turkey that we have taken weighed just over 27 lbs. Beards over 12 inches and spurs up to 2 inches are also not uncommon in southwest Iowa.

To book you must send a non-refundable deposit of $1000 to lock you into your spot. Please note that your hunt is not considered booked until your deposit is received by Southwest Iowa Outfitters. If you do not draw, the original $1000 will be held and guarantees you a spot for the year that you do draw your tag. You will be notified by the Iowa DNR if you were successful or not in July (and sometimes before July) of the year you apply. If you are successful in drawing a tag another $1000 is due. At this point you will have $2000 down on your hunt. The balance of the hunt then is due 30 days prior to the hunt if paid by check. Or the balance can be paid on arrival with cash, hunters choice. (Any returned checks will add $100 to the hunt) Attention hunters booking in groups - All hunters in your group are in charge of their own deposit. Other members in the group may pay for fellow group members. However, keep in mind that if you pay for another group member and that member cancels, the money you paid for him/her is not transferable to your hunt. But you may then try to find another member to take their spot.
