I don't mind that 100% of our license fees go toward the Fish and Wildlife Trust Fund. My comment is in regards to who all benefits from that fund, what else helps to fund it? I hate "use" fees but if that is what it is going to be, all users can contribute to it. Heck, if the Farm Bureau wants...

Misinformation is being shared. Don't get me wrong, I would support an increase of license fees, but the IBA or anyone else saying we haven't had an increase in license fees since 1991 (when all licenses are included) simply is not factual. Also, while it is money to support what we love to do...

I do struggle with this piece. I thought they changed it to where a person with carry permit could carry what they wanted and how they wanted. Perhaps that is elsewhere in our laws and trumps this little blurb. The rest of it, I support. Unless I am reading it wrong, it is not allowing more...

Yep. From the CDC... "As of January 2018, there were 186 counties in 22 states with reported CWD in free-ranging cervids." Contained? How well has that worked in any other area of the country? I do think we can slow the spread, but I do not think we will contain or stop the spread. It has...

I am in favor. There are good muzzleloaders out there that are less than the .44 caliber minimum required today that can still put out good deer killing loads. Yes, there are smokeless options too, but they are not high power guns any more than guns that are already legal take in Iowa. I do not...

Either or, or late ML is an option for them too. Early ML is not.

I like that you ask "when" vs. "if" it will happen. I hate it but it is going to happen (statewide, probably countrywide).

The "reason for the season" is the very reason why some people tell the DNR "no" when asked to sample their deer. We know it is here, so, what is the DNR's plan, other than sampling more to further confirm it is here?

This piece of your concern is easy to comment towards. Residents over the age of 64 do not need to purchase a habitat stamp, nor do residents under the age of 16. Not just towards this season or game animal, towards all of them. In addition to that, under 16 do not need a hunting license and...

Try putting the shoe on the other foot (one that you cannot use) and try to answer this question. Can you imagine being unable to hunt the rut? This one is not about protecting the herd, it is about hunters protecting hunters and supporting giving the options that give them opportunities do do...

This x 2. As a landowner it is sickening to think a sign needs posted or a post painted to keep trespassers out. If you don’t have permission, keep out or risk the consequence of being fined (and ridiculed).

This x 2! I am a fan of the #4 buck with 3 1/2" in full choke.

Nope, the next point gets added after you fail to draw.

You'll never look back! My 700ML: + 2.2 at 100 Zero at 225 -7.8 at 300 -14.6 at 400 -41.4 at 500 This works for me and my style of open field hunting but others using boomer loads and better BC bullets are flatter than that.

I live and hunt in zone 8 and see enough decent ones that I have no desire to hunt other zones, even though my resident tag allows me statewide opportunities. I like to hunt so if it were me, more often fits better than less often.

There are some good public areas in this zone but do your scouting well in advance. Also, shotgun seasons, expect a lot of others to be there. Second shotgun, expect very skittish and educated deer herds. You do in fact of have good odds of drawing without points for a gun season tag in this zone.

Any short action centerfire 700 is as good, or maybe a better option. I bought 2 SS actions for future projects and doubt I need both. PM headed your way.

I am sure you are probably aware but just in case you are not, baiting is illegal in Iowa.

I think it would be cool for this website to contribute towards the annual fee. Count me in for donations towards it if we go that route. Another fix that you can to do to each of your PCs is: Firefox addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/photobucket-embedded-fix/?src=api Chrome...

Yep, MDC still has some. https://mdc6.mdc.mo.gov/Applications/TreeSeedling/ They did sell out of these last year. They charge a handling and shipping fee but still a decent price in my opinion. That is unless you are doing a small quantity.
