2015 Iowa Sportsman's Atlas

I see that they are coming out with a 2015 Iowa Sportsman's Atlas. Anyone had one in the past? Any thoughts on having one?

They are very handy to have around even out of hunting season.

Thanks. I was just informed the 2015 will be out next week. I am going to have to check one out.

I just picked up a new atlas today. Is it me or do the streets and print seem kind of blurry in the new one? Is anyone else having trouble reading it? I am thinking about returning the new one.

example: county 41 Buchanan on the new one is very hard to read street names but the next page Deleware 42 is much clearer on the same atlas.

I just got my older one with the pheasant on front and the print seems a lot better. Maybe my old eyes (31 years old) aren't as good as they once were.

Nope... not just you. Mine is the same.

I would like to buy another old one. Does anyone know if they are still available?

Nope... not just you. Mine is the same.

I called the Iowa sportsman and they said it was just my atlas and sent me another one.....nope. It is blurry on all of the new ones. Why would they print new ones that you can barley read?

Has anyone in Iowa gotten a new one or am I the only person?

I left them a message regarding mine... I'm assuming they'll exchange it out. Mine arrived early this summer and didn't really even look it over until recently. It was hopefully just a short run on them... hopefully they'll send me a new one.

The lady from Iowa sportsman mailed me a new one and I was to mail back the one I just bought from Scheels. She said the new one was not blurry.

When I got the one she sent me it was the same as the one I bought so I mailed her back the one she sent me and returned the one I bought. The atlas is great to have and I like the idea that it is updated but you have to be able to read it.

I don't understand how they could print something like this without looking it over first. Maybe the advertisers on the bottom of the pages paid for all of the printing?
