I couldn't agree more tc1968. When I heard about this last minute backdoor amendment I couldn't believe that they had actually went against the Iowa Sportsman and the Iowa legislature. There is no reason to make Iowa Sportsman use non-toxic shot for dove hunting. I'll will be calling them...

Iowa_Buckeye-They wont list specific products as jjohnson posted. I'm not trying to call anyone specifically a poacher. What I was saying was after numerous people have called their CO and all the CO's that were asked say under the current regulations they are ILLEGAL. If someone still thinks...

Have you ever read the cover of the Iowa DNR hunting regulations? "This booklet is not a complete set of hunting laws. It contains rules and regulations most likely needed for hunting in Iowa. However, it is not a complete list of all hunting regluations nor is it a legal document. For more...

They don't need to study it...remember we have all kinds of video and testimonials from the expert hunters using them saying that mature deer walk straight down wind and never even know your there. I guess that was enough proof to the DNR to say that it is a device that gives the hunter an...

The device was on to aid you in the harvest by fooling the deers nose and had the potential to be on when taking the shot. So if you have it with you I'm sure you will be fined. Same with an electronic decoy or call. Did you think these were legal as well? You could obviously turn these off...

I have always questioned how the Ozonics units could be legal in Iowa so after following this thread I thought I would I ask our local CO about them today. It took him about three seconds to say absolutely illegal. Mechanical devices used to aid in the harvest are illegal. I asked about range...

I think you guys are spliting hairs. Both of you agree minerals help improve the overall health of the deer. Healthy deer allowed to mature will be able to reach their true genetic potential. I have to say that I have also noticed increased NT points/stickers and mass in my deer herd since...

I would look at a Kawasaki 2011 Mule 4010 Trans 4X4 Diesel. I have heard good reviews (tough as nails). You can haul 4 people during hunting season or when hauling the family around the farm then transform it to a 2 person to get additional cargo area when it's time to work. They have been...

I'd name your new dog Gunnar like your son wants. Great tribute to your last dog. Good luck. I hope someone can help you.

This has already played out in Illinois and they can't turn back despite the damage to their deer herd and the loss of access for resident hunters. Here is an article published several years ago in an Outdoor Life magazine from Outdoor writer Don Higgins who resides in Illinois: States Should...

It is not discrimination when you don't get preference for being a NR landowner over any other NR (who doesn't own land) that wants to hunt Iowa. The wildlife is owned by the State of Iowa not those that own the land. (So by being owned by the State of Iowa means that the RESIDENTS OF IOWA own...

A by far. A will lead to outfitters leasing up all of Southern Iowa just like West Central Illinois not to mention increased buying of land by NR due to the increased chance of drawing a tag. I have absolutely no problem with a NR moving to Iowa and buying all the land they want as long as they...

Neighbors making up those landowners include: Dave/Jeff Lindsey, Mark Drury, Jay Gregory, and I have heard the name Paul Thornton (at least that is the name I have heard from some locals). Paul is on several of Jay's videos/shows and is referred to as a neighbor of Jay's. Those landowners make...

Jdubs, Here are my thoughts and I bet more residents agree with me than the guy whos post you copied. I own land or want to and wish that all Iowa residents who desire to could as well. I don't envy anyone, I just try to live within my own means. Have nothing against NR's buying land in Iowa...

Right across the road to the South is all public hunting. About 700 acres in that one block of public to the South of Jay's. There is another 1300 acres to the West and Northwest that is contiguous but split by roads. So you could save your 1.2 million and hunt that neighborhood for the price of...

Here is all that matters on this subject. 1. Iowa has the right to determine residency requirements. (Already been decided in Federal Court) 2. Iowa has the right to determine requirements to to purchase resident hunting licences. (Already been decided in Federal Court) 3. Iowa has the right...

henry 5146, I believe your information is wrong. Already been hashed out in court. And for the record Iowa is not the most oppressive State. Lots of states give no preference to NR landowners. Here is a little law decision to read from the Tulane Law Review. NOTE: Constitutional...

If you want to decrease the time a CO has to spend investigating "baited sites" then you should legalize baiting. That way the CO wouldn't have to spend anytime investigating. If someone called to report a person putting out bait the CO could just say it is legal and no time wasted other than...

Not really. It's just a new concept to you. In the Dakota's you can have the gun loaded uncased without a carry permit as long as the chamber is empty. It has been that way as long as I have been hunting out there (20+) years.

Don't feel bad nanny, I was left off the list too. IBA knew that this was a heated topic (as it was brought up last year) and should have stayed neutral or opposed it because it lacks scientific backing. There shouldn't be a deer left alive in Texas and dozens of other States and Providences if...
