to be honest, I would like to see iowa go away from shotgunning for deer and see handgun, archery, muzzle loading and the single shot buffalo style rifles only. I don't think that shotgunning deer is hunting, it is slaughtering. that generally means they are group hunting and that is how people get hurt or my neighbor's house gets shot. just plain fools out there!! I could really care less if someone in the hunting party gets hurt or worse, it is the possibility of others getting hurt. I remember the very first morning when the State allowed shotgunners at Backbone State Park. I was at my parents and had just stat down by my normal tree and started waiting for deer. I could hear what sounded like a war zone off to the south east--the north entrance to the park is about 1/2 mile as the crow flies from my parents. that is not hunting. just my 2 cents
