Is it legal to hunt deer with a crossbow in Iowa? I've heard both?

Only if you are handicapped. If you meet the requirement for "handicapped" you can use it during any archery season. Here is what the DNR booklet says:
"“Physically handicapped person,” when used in reference to crossbow permits for deer and turkey hunting, means a person having a physical impairment of the upper extremities that makes a person physically incapable of shooting a bow and arrow. This includes difficulty in lifting and reaching with arms as well as difficulty in handling and fingering a bow"
Hope this helps!
