Could always keep the general rules for EVERYTHING the same with a MAX of two tags purchased per person. If you don’t own land or bow hunt you’d still only be eligible for 1 tag like you currently are. Only one bow tag possible for everyone except landowners can use their second tag in any...

I seem to remember some crazy person on here posting about how the elite often ask others to give up something for the good of everyone meanwhile they give up virtually nothing and are perfectly set up to reap the benefits…. That dude was nuts!! Again, I see the thinking on this bill and do...

I totally understand what you’re saying!! I was told to register my home place- a whole 4.5 acres!! The rest of my land where I’m much more likely to actually use the tags is in two other counties. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You’re good for now under the new proposal!! Just have to register under the 60 acre field…. Of course when it’s eventually changed again to going to whose name is on the deed then you’ll be back to not qualifying. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This has little to do with the bigger points of the argument but I think a lot of people use their home place to register for the LOT tag since it doesn’t change as much. Their home and the surrounding acreage is often parceled off separately than the rest of their farm. Again, nothing to do...

I don’t totally disagree with the theory of SF247 but I don’t really like the optics of it. Also, as stated above one guy could be just under the limit and do everything possible to help deer and somebody else could be just over the limit and do everything in their power to destroy them. In my...

I’m sure there are a ton of people in similar situations. That’s just one area of the state too! Lots of people that could live in Omaha, Kansas City, Minneapolis and even the Chicago area and be in Iowa within an hour or two and easily come back here just to hunt but could definitely be in...

I personally know many families whose kids went to college and could have moved anywhere and deer hunting is literally the only thing that kept them here. Same with some retirement aged people and really anybody with relatives that own land. Makes it way easier for them to move away and...

Obviously was being sarcastic before. Spoke with a few people in the legislature and it sounds like this bill has the same old arguments as last time. People upset that their kids move away and can’t come back and hunt the family farm every year. Typically college educated kids from landowning...

Definitely can get stuff passed normally with a few good legislators. I was at a meeting a few years ago with ag industry partners and they said their lobbyists thought on average it only took a personal campaign contribution of $12-1500 to get a bill introduced. Especially if it wasn’t on a...

Yep. Obviously this one was not a pass through. Recovered from back end after a frontal shot.

AWESOME AWESOME BILL!!!! This bill allows me to live and work wherever I want in this country or perhaps the whole world and make as much money as humanly possible and buy as much land as possible in the great state of Iowa and put it in my brother’s name so I’m guaranteed a tag!!! I can live...

The old fashioned way!!! $$$$. Under the table unfortunately or well disguised as campaign contributions ;) Sadly I think this is how most stuff really happens. Elon will fix it!

Good point!! Honestly I think there are too many variables to easily judge. I think nutrient quality of the field and that years weather play a factor and it’s always a moving target

Haha. Yes. Many bankers/assessors are a little naive on rec ground. Not that I blame them especially when it comes to hunting quality the price can vary a ton even if it’s only a few miles away. Lots properties on landwatch are probably there because most of the local buyers have already...

Barnes exit wound

I always had good luck with the 150 grain XP’s. My switch to barnes was more mental than out of necessity. 150’s through the vitals completely messed up everything internally. I always had lots of fragmentation and recovered very little of the original bullet. Small pieces everywhere...

Lots of theories on beans. Seems like we end up with more questions than answers every year no matter what is tried. I don’t really have any answers and although I understand the thinking on the weed suppression with 7.5 inch rows with high population I just kind of doubt you’ll see much...

Barnes .350 ammo costs a little more than most but has been awesome. Quite a few good guns. Have never been too impressed with the mags/feeding on any of the savage ones. Gen2 ruger american is definitely an upgrade from the first gen. Adjustability of AR’s is nice

Nice. I’d sure think most people would be happy with that!
