The friend that invited us t go with hm was in the process of buying land in that area So he had some connections We were able to get permission n several farms that where posed TO NO HUNTING Of course 1997 was about the time Iowa was became known as a big buck hunting destination .We had most of any were we ask to hunt as being allowed to hunt And we where there about the time the season had been open for 3 or 4 weeks So they where getting petty wild as far as holding to shoot for a pointing dog We also flushed several coveys of quail And we jumped the biggest buck I ever saw in my lifetime bedded with a doe in an overgrown pasture
