The January 5 - 6 depredation deer hunt at Springbrook State Park, north of Guthrie Center, will allow hunters to use a variety of firearms, not just muzzleloaders, as stated in the 2007/08 Iowa Hunting and Trapping Regulations.

Hunters may use a shotgun, muzzleloader or handgun as part of the depredation hunt. A list of firearms and calibers is on p. 23 of the regulations. Center-fire rifles are not allowed.

Hunters wanting to participate in the antlerless only deer hunt should contact the state park office at 641-747-3591. There are 75 antlerless only licenses available for the two-day hunt. Contact the park for more details.

For more information, contact park manager, Carolyn Hack, at 641-747-3591.

How to Lose a Good Hunting Stand
A few months ago a good friend of mine moved to San Antonio and I was eyeing that Remington Youth 243 he was about to pack up.

He has been tagging along with me a few years to food plot stands and we have seen a few deer over the years.
