My 2026 Iowa season

Started my 2026 season off with a little ice fishing. Just a few bluegills this morning further north. Tried an area closer to the cabin this afternoon but no bites at all.

Looking forward to app season coming up, I'm planning on another elk hunt in Colorado. Should be able to draw with no points, if not trying a cow tag for second choice in this specific unit. Will be close to Denver so I can hunt with my son.

Already starting the workout.


Drove up to the cabin today and decided on a quick hike. About 2.5 miles round trip to Paint Rock lookout.
