I’d Some interesting and sensible thoughts are being presented. Not mentioned, but I think reducing use of cross bows and rifles is a worthy additions to the list. Also, addressing EHD is huge!

Hope we have a great hatch this year! We’re not seeing many yet

Well, that’s a load off…

When do you think we will have a new farm bill? I don’t see our folks in Washington D C getting anything accomplished before 2025.

I see a lot of democrats sitting out of this election, or writing in something or someone.

Is it a job that would turn out better with a helper flagging your next pass? Sorta like the ag pilots used many years ago.

Just curious after reading the comments up to now…. How many deer are killed in the first couple of weeks of the season? How many deer are killed in January? How many deer are killed by non-resident landowners? Would you approve of preventing the use of crossbows and/or rifles?

I find the comments very interesting. I like those thinking out of the box. I haven’t considered many of the thoughts being expressed.

Name 2 things you would change, prevent, start, or stop, to improve the Iowa hunting or wildlife resource. Skip discussed a lot of things in his podcast. What issues have the most potential for improvement, in your opinion? Thanks in advance.

I enjoyed the podcast. Iowa is special. Good to see people realizing that. I’m a non-resident who’s had a little property since 2006. I’ve been extremely fortunate to have excellent neighbors and make great friends.

Your comments on Missouri habitat quality and the potential there, reminded me of a comment by a close Iowa friend. He probably knows as much about whitetails as anyone in the state. He said if the rules were changed in Missouri, they would have the biggest bucks in the country.

How much does it weigh?

I recently put out a couple of cameras in an area full of goat sign!

Your post probably makes too much sense to be approved. At least you’re thinking out of the box a bit. This new decision causes some issues for a couple of friends in Iowa, one a R and the other a NR. Neither had any warning of the new rules.

If other NR’s are like me, they may have about 5 days to hunt in Iowa, and show up wanting to harvest a buck. They may spend a day getting a deer processed, or at least ready to transport home, There is little time to hunt a doe, despite their good intentions. I figured out it’s a good idea...

I’ve read some of the posts on this topic. I never tried to figure out the party rules since they didn’t apply to me, even though I’m a non-resident and have hunted in Iowa for over 15 years. For the money I’ve spent for licenses, tags, I would have come out much better with party hunting it...

I was recently approved for a nice CSP program put together by an Iowa forester and an Iowa Private Lands Biologist. I’ve completed quite a few projects for my forest (small) and habitat. We’ve removed trees, planted trees, improved trees. It makes no sense to me that some are pushing these...

When addressing a situation, some look for a way to fail, others look for a way to succeed.

Call your local NR Call your local NRCS or FSA office and check.

That's a much better way of putting it. Thanks!
