This is a fully guided 4-day firearm hunt.

Hunts take place in Iowa Zone 5.

Nonresident Iowa Zone 5 firearm tags are issued through a preference point draw. While Zone 5 archery tags typically require around five to six preference points, firearm tags are considerably easier to draw, with most hunters drawing with one to two preference points.

Monster Whitetail Outfitters maintains a 140-inch gross minimum on most Iowa farms, with premier farms managed at 150 inches (140-inch minimum on qualifying 8-pointers).

Bucks harvested below the property's minimum score are subject to a graduated penalty of $200 per inch below the minimum, up to a maximum penalty of $1,200.

Feeders and bait are not used. All hunts are conducted under fair chase conditions.

Additional hunting days may be available for 15% of the hunt price per additional day, subject to availability.

Hunters are responsible for licenses, tag fees, meat processing, taxidermy, and guide gratuities.

Iowa's First and Second Gun Seasons are Any Legal Weapon seasons. Hunters may use centerfire rifles, shotguns firing slugs or legal ammunition, handguns meeting Iowa regulations, straight-wall cartridge rifles where legal, muzzleloaders, bows, and crossbows as permitted under current Iowa hunting regulations. Hunters are responsible for ensuring their equipment complies with all Iowa DNR requirements.

Iowa First and Second Gun hunts are subject to the Iowa nonresident deer application and draw process. Hunters are responsible for successfully drawing the appropriate Iowa firearm tag and obtaining all required licenses prior to the hunt. Please review current Iowa DNR regulations, application deadlines, and licensing requirements before booking.

Future hunt deposits lock in your quoted hunt price. Hunters booking in advance while building Iowa preference points will retain their original hunt rate, even if pricing increases before they draw their tag.
