I can see both sides of the NR argument. For out west, they've limited NR so much that I've quit applying. I have always wanted to make it out there elk hunting, but it seems like wait times are ridiculously high now, so I've stopped applying. That's the negative side. I guess the positive...

I don't oppose this bill, but I really think that if we're going to argue that people should only get 2 buck tags (or even 1 buck tag) because it's better for the deer herd, then it should be across the board. However, I do agree it's going to take a real special 2 acre parcel to shoot your LOT...

I know a neighbor's brother in law that got busted. His farm had a house on it that he rented out to a niece but used it as his residency. CO saw him driving by with MN plates and his truck and started investigating. CO really dug into the guy's history/taxes/fishing license in other states...

I don't like the LOT bill. My main reason is the return vs cost is not there. Look at how much it's dividing hunters. We should focus on bills that don't single out/divide hunting groups. I agree that's a utopia idea, that's never going to happen. I guess what I'm really getting at is, we...

I voted for him both times, but I definitely wasn't a huge fan of him first time around. By the end of first term, it was: I don't like him as a person, but I like his economic policies, and why can't he just stay off twitter. I think it's ridiculous what he went through the past 4+ years and...

Do Indiana landowners get a second tag? My problem is most of the supporters here say how great a rule it is and we need to follow Indiana, but they are landowners and want their landowner buck tag still. If one buck per person is so great, let's have everyone do it. I don't care if you...

I'd argue one buck would help, but not by much. A far bigger impact would be to increase the overall population. More deer equals more bucks. In my 20+ years hunting, I've shot 2 bucks in a year twice. When I get one with a bow, I'm usually far more selective come shotgun hunting and don't...

https://www.kcrg.com/2024/10/22/iowa-secretary-state-finds-non-citizens-voted-or-registered-vote/ 2000 illegal voters currently in Iowa, and that's from a state that's somewhat trying to prevent it. Just imagine how many there are in the liberal states that don't try preventing it. How do you...

Or the police are arresting them, but they get released without bail or the prosecutors refuse to prosecute. Have you seen the videos of people walking into Apple stores and grabbing 20 phones and walking out? There's no point in arresting them when the prosecutors say they won't prosecute them.

I started with and continue to do it for the Iowa bowhunter survey. I only take detailed notes bowhunting before gun season. 21 hours, 11 bucks, 10 does. I also started keeping track of stand sat in, wind direction and temp.

That's not how I read that letter. I read it as they are trying to appease the twitter folks riding them about DEI. They are trying to take the middle road and sound like they are backing off DEI. Read the last bullet - We will continue to track and advance the diversity of our organization...

I know 2 coworkers, both from the Pfizer booster. One has the enlarged heart issue and the other severe arthritis in his hip.

Iowa legislation branch creates the laws. The DNR reads the laws and creates regulations to enforce the laws. Governer requested regulations be reviewed to ensure they align with the laws written. DNR regulations were reviewed and determined to not clearly reflect the ways the laws were...
