What's Included:

All hunts are full package hunts including some meals, lodging, guiding, treestands, trophy care, transportation during the hunt, and pickup and return to the Quad Cities Airport in Moline, Illinois or Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Bowhunts and late primitive weapon (Bow only) are five day hunts with a maximum number of 4 bowhunters per hunt. Shotgun hunts are 4 day hunts with a limit of hunters per hunt for the first and second firearm hunts.

We at Cedar River Outfitters ask that you harvest mature bucks. This will help ensure the younger population has ample time to reach their maturity and produce quality bucks for future hunts. Although, this is your hunt and you will make the final decision, please keep this in mind before you harvest your animal.

What's Not Included:

Hunter safety harnesses are not included but will be required by all hunters. No hunter will be allowed to enter Cedar River Outfitters property without a safety device on person.

The cost also does not include your non-resident deer license. The 2008/2009 non-resident license fee is $424.35 and includes a deer tag, small game license, habitat stamp and drawing fees. If you do not draw, your license fees will be *returned to you direct from Iowa DNR.

Price of license fee subject to change depending on the Iowa DNR. You will be notified when and if a rate increase takes place.
