Iowa is a draw state, therefore an application needs to be submitted for a deer license each year to earn a preference point for each year, and will most likely draw in the 3rd year the application is submitted. Akin Outfitters will complete this process for you for a small fee, until you draw. In the second year of application, there is a possibility of drawing a permit, therefore when the application is submitted for the draw, the actual license fee for that year will be payable. If you do not draw, you will be refunded your money and still receive a preference point.
