EP 70 | Setting The Stage For A Banner Year In Iowa

Welcome back to another week! On today's episode of the WDNA Podcast, Alex and Garrett recap their recent scouting trip to Iowa as Garrett gears up for his 2025 Iowa deer season. The guys break down what they found while narrowing down promising public land spots. They also dive into the specific types of terrain and habitat features we’re targeting when trying to locate mature bucks during October and November—think secluded bedding areas, terrain funnels, and overlooked pockets. The guys touch on the excitement and strategy behind locking down private ground, and how landing the right farm can completely change the game in a state like Iowa. Finally, we wrap up with expectations for the season ahead, how this trip shaped the strategy, and what Garrett is looking forward to the most when he returns with tags in hand. Enjoy the show!
