Quote from: Big Guy on March 09, 2015, 10:33:56 PMI'm in CR about 20 minutes north of IC. You might want to check out Hawkeye Wildlife Management Area. It's about halfway between CR and IC. I've never hunted it, but sometimes will see turkeys out in the fields on the east side off of I-380. Here is a link to a thread a couple of years old so I don't know how good the info is, but it's something to look at. http://www.iowasportsman.com/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=858821

Quote from: ghillie on March 20, 2015, 03:17:43 PMJusy FYI, the Hawkeye Wildlife Area (AKA the RES to the locals) is Fed land so non-tox shot. Be careful around there as it gets a crap ton of pressure. Also the further west you go from that area you get into the Amana Society Land and trust me, you don't want to be tresspassing on their turf. The Society watchs that area very closely and have been know to prosecute. One other tid bit about the Res, DO NOT and I say again DO NOT go near the timber covered hillside on the north side of the big water from I 380 to Greencastle Road on the gravel Amana road. That timber is where the....how do I say this.... 'the boys who like boys' go to to troll. They will park in the access areas (the signal) and go into the timber and wait for someone to stop. The second individual will then enter the woods and they....well...I will just stop right there. As a matter of fact, this last week we were flying north over the Res and witnessed a couple folks naked running around in the woods. Shocking to say the least and I actually ran into a naked man in the timber there while scouting/mushroom hunting, this was before I knew what the heck was going on about ten years ago. I went and reported it to the DNR and they just started laughing and told me there is a name for that place....they call it 'fairy hill' Needless to say I was pissed because what if I had my daughter with me? Soooo just be aware of that. Personally if I were you I would look around to the north east of Iowa City around Anamose area and around the Wapsi River. The artist Grant Wood used this area is inspiration and it is beautiful turkey ground all around there. Don't be afraid to knock on doors, lots of friendly people around here. Good luck!
