But that’s not the only reason to come hunt with us.....Iron Hills Whitetail Co. of Eastern Iowa is dedicated to providing our fellow outdoorsman the opportunity to experience world class whitetail hunting. We specialize in Traditional Archery do-it-yourself hunts Our packages make an Iowa hunt within reach. We offer 5 day hunts from $1000.00 dollars. But we don’t just say "Here is a map. Good luck". We scout it, map it and do all the leg work so you don’t have to waste valuable hunt time to get to know where to go. We have numerous ladder and hang-on stands and ground blinds so no need to pack the extra gear..Unless you want to bring your own.

We practice QDM to give our local buck population the management needed to develop into world class whitetails. All our hunts are fair chase. Your ability as a hunter will determine your success. Our hunts are Traditional Archery Hunts Only and we only host 6 guests per month during the archery season. We are very conscious about scent control, wind direction and over utilizing stands. Our goal is to put you on quality whitetail without them knowing it.

Iowa ranks 3rd for typical and 2nd for non-typical whitetails with 545 and 365 records respectively. Keep in mind these are B&C qualifying trophies. There would be more Pope & Young archery taken trophies since P&Y minimums are lower.

Couple all that with a new State Record Whitetail harvested  2008 and previous years B&C harvested in 2008, 2009, 2010 in our beautiful county and you can be confident that your time spent in our woods, will be one of anticipation because at any moment, you could be downwind of a buck of a lifetime.

Jackson County and Iron Hills Whitetail Co. has it all... All that's missing is you. 

We are sure you will enjoy your hunt with us!

~ Operations ~

We will strategize with you daily, giving scouting updates for stand and farm options. Weather plays a big role in movement patterns in the Iron Hills. A stand or farm in the morning may not be optimum for the evening set, so we will provide you with options for the days hunt to maximize your opportunity. We encourage hunter participation in our doe harvest program and to utilize their antlerless tag to help us with our QDM program.

~ Non-Resident License Info ~

Non Residents tags are awarded by a Lottery draw!
If you do not have any preference points, you may want to plan to buy one before you apply.
While it may be possible to draw a Non-Resident tag the first year, it is highly unlikely you will.

Some of our Hunters have been able to draw a tag in their second attempt, meaning they had at least 1 preference point already in the year they applied and drew a tag.

Call 1-800-367-1188 or apply online
Be sure to obtain current hunting regulations at the Iowa DNR.


~ Iron Hills Whitetail Co.  - 2011/2012 Hunt Calendar ~

Navigate the calendar controls to October, November, December or January to view hunt availability.

Here is how the calendar works: We only offer 6 hunts per month during the archery season. When a hunt is available it is green. When a hunt is booked it turns orange (for the entire month). When the hunt is confirmed (meaning the hunter has drawn a tag) the hunt will turn red and the calendar will only display the week or weeks the hunter has secured. Each orange colored hunt on the calendar is one less you are likely to have a crack at especially during the rut.... So book your hunts early.

If you have questions ... Don't hesitate to call we would be happy to explain in greater detail.
