Are you feeling rich?  Non-resident fees are very expensive and you only can get one tag.

Good Luck

There is some great turkey grounds in Southern Iowa.

Good Luck to you and don't forget to take some pictures.

That's good area.  Be sure to apply next January to hunt the 2013 season.  I'm not sure if there are any leftover tags in that area for 2012...

Oh wait...It looks like there might be some season #1, season #3, and muzzleloader tags for zone #4 still available...

Joe, I should be floating around the Southern part of Iowa around April 25th to May 15th. When do you plan on being there, and whereabouts are you hunting?

Welcome to Iowa!!  Make sure to bring tick spray. The southern part of the state is terrible with ticks.

Those left over tags will go fast, so you had better get one quick.  It's hard to beat the turkey hunting in SE Iowa.  Good luck.
