Non-resident Iowa licenses are on a draw basis and success rates vary year to year. Application deadline is usually the end of May/June for zone 5. Call the Iowa DNR for particulars. Soap Creek Iowa hunts operate on/in Appanoose County in zone 5. A hunter’s safety certificate is required in Iowa if a hunter’s birthday is on or after January 1, 1967.
Hunters not drawn in Iowa may carry their deposit over to the following year.
NOTE: Soap Creek manages for quality deer and a $500 harvest fee will be charged for any buck taken that scores 135 gross Pope & Young points or less. We're simply trying to maintain the quality of the bucks and our buck-to-doe ratio.

We had a good season in 2012 as far as the hunters seeing what they wanted to take home. Like many years we didn't get enough good deer on the ground.
We are taking only 15 to 17 hunters each year. It is still taking 3 to 4 years to draw a bow tag thanks to the Iowa politicians. Many gun hunters
will draw a tag the first year they apply.
