I agree, Nebraska may save you some time, pending what part of SE IA you live. Call the Valentine Chamber of Commerce, you'll be suprised the ph#'s they may have on hand.
Also another tip that works for me when going into a new area where I know dog's are present.

First thing I do, is to hit the local coffee shop( look for the most pickups, and prferably aroung morning coffee/ lunch time), sit down and order. It ain't long b4 the waitress start asking the who's and what's. 9 times outa 10 you her , " hey Frank, John, Bill, we got shooter(s) look'n for dogs. The 10th time, it's ph#'s. When everybody's done,(don't get impatient) I'm usually riding or following one or more of the ranchers.
I never bring up $, the ones that charge will be straight up. The ones that don't will say as much at some time, but,,,,,I always offer to throw some cash their way, out of courtesy and respect. Some will accept, some will refuse. But the way I see it, even though they control thousands of acres and have big dollars in livestock, most live a pretty modest life, and Cash is precious.

I always carry enough cash for atleast 50 bucks a day per shooter. Believe me, they appricate it. And if you respect the land, drive on the paths and don't leave GARBAGE!!!!!The grass they rely on so much is sparse, driving on it don't help it grow, specially if it's dry!!!close gates behind you!!! and plain just be courteous,,,,you be welcome back anytime and have a friend for life.
