Your example of Bill Winke is perfect. His ground would bring a lot more money if NRLO's were guaranteed buck tags. They would fight over it. Right now, the pool of buyers is limited because they don't want to wait for lottery archery tags. Iowa is an ag based economy. We have less...

Yes, that is a fact. They have driven the price of marginal ground way up. Compared to Iowa, what it was before the big antler craze. We aren't talking about other states. We are talking about Iowa only. To compare land values to other states is a deflection. But, you know that. To use...

He knows it full well. He simply wants to deflect and ignore the facts at hand. Selfish wants make for poor arguments.

You slide around the point again. The facts are that the land would go up in value due to more competition if NRLO's were given any preference for hunting it. I'm not looking to lower the values, that makes no sense and I have no idea why you are putting that spin on it. NR's have driven the...

Southern Iowa ag land has never had values that would compete with the areas you mention. Compare Northern Iowa to Southern Iowa and again you have two different worlds. I work with ag producers every day and have for over 27 years. I know what drives the land markets here. By your own...

The fact is, that Johnny in Iowa is paying more for marginal ground, or not able to buy ground at all thanks to more competition for it. A lot of that competition is from non-residents. Why do anything to encourage more competition? It makes no sense for those that understand the economics of...

And in 1978 he sang, Baby Stop Crying.

I have called and emailed politicians and the Conservation Commissioners and will continue to do so. It's important that all residents do exactly that to protect their access to their resources. I wonder if more than one resident was allowed to hunt your farm before NR's started buying land...

It would most certainly have a negative impact on residents. It would benefit you. If you don't want to listen to the explanations, there is nothing I can do about that. But, access for locals would be drastically impacted in a negative way. So yes, residents deserve access and the ability...

At least its taking a little longer for these threads to turn into the self-pity party each year. The comedic irony remains the same. NRLO, "Iowa has amazing deer hunting and my state is miserable. Let's buy land in Iowa for trophy bucks! Now, let's change things to benefit me and be more...

Last I knew, this has zero to do with trespassing. Nonresidents buying up hunting land has already impacted most of the outdoorsmen I know. None of it positive. I don't know of a single hunter that has not lost opportunity to nonresident landownership. I'm sure that is not the case in all...

Why should the rules change to make any accommodation whatsoever to a NR landowner? What changed that should allow for them to receive an added benefit? I have friends that are NR landowners. I am not an enemy of the NR landowner that abides by the rules as they exist. I have helped them for...

Not all residents care about their resident neighbors losing opportunities to enjoy the natural resources. That's their prerogative. Not all residents understand the consequences of their actions. That's their simplicity. Is this a family site? I don't get here much. Not used to seeing...

I never left. I live here. I like the benefits of being a resident of Iowa. But, I hear that South Dakota is a nice place to visit. I might check it out sometime. ;)

I'm loyal to the rights of Iowans that choose to live, work, raise their families and enjoy the outdoors here. Whiners come and go. Some stay longer than others. But, in the end, it does them no good. The smart ones move here or move on.

Just drop by every once in a while to see if the same guys are still whining about the injustices of being a non-resident landowner. Never disappoints. :D

I like the idea of +1 preference for landowners. We pay property taxes and income taxes on CRP/cash rent. This would help and I think it would cool down the infighting between R and NR (work together for and manage the herd appropriately.) Hardwood11, Today at 2:39 PM Report Some things never...

Looks like the same cooks in the kitchen ruining the stew again. Exactly why this site has so little traffic. Obama was all for change also, look where that got us. :D

Not sure we are talking about the same thing. I am talking about non residents getting a doe tag and then paying someone that is often not even present to fill their buck tag. Tags should not be sold on the secondary market. Some outfitters are making a living at it. I have even seen tags...

Most guys don't have a clue how much of this is going on. It's an loop hole that needs to go away. Lots of abuse for no good reason.
