Coast Guard?? I was a life guard at my pool. Hope they don’t clean this one up. Damn.

Gotta “clean it all up” Lol. I love the projection on the Governor. Don’t hate the DNR, any group behind it, the state legislature etc. It’s the Governor. Total joke. I was born at night but it wasn’t last night. If the Governor did ask for clean up, who directed the dnr to this issue...

Sounds like a canned explanation. Very convenient. So each department , and agency in the department, re read every law pertaining to every issue in their jurisdiction. That would take forever. Who’s doing the reading ?? You need lawyers. Can’t see that many lawyers on staff. I’m not...

I hear you. I’ve never heard of a NR paying a stranger. Too uncertain. Not saying you havnt , but that’s stupid when you don’t know the guy. NRs who build relationships with neighbors , farmers etc. All day. The NR shoots the deer and uses the resident tag. Yep. No party hunt. Happens...

Thank you for trying to clarify. I’m being cynical but how can a rule say R only for party hunting be interpreted to include NR. I’d love to see the verbiage. That said it is what it is. I did ask my CO why this is happening now, he won’t answer.

There’s a driver. Cleaning up the law is the bs you’re being fed for the change. I feel like I’m being talked to by the Biden campaign. Don’t be naive. Nobody wants to answer why now? There’s a reason. It’ll come out. My CO responded to me saying this is a done deal. No NR party...

1983, really, pick a state. He watched all the Iowa video stars shoot their deer and has been told legally he can come hunt with me when he’s ready. People like you have habitat businesses that grow Iowa deer, post them all over the web further show casing the state. Oh , but don’t come...

Guys, I’ve been here for 21 years as a NR and a R. It’s hard online because we don’t see or know each other very well. We all get passionate about certain things and I understand. I’m wrong a lot but I consider myself well educated, schooled and try to understand other points of view. At...

Deer hunting is not about giants for most , that’s what some here want to make it. There’s more to hunting than mature trophies. My nephew was going to party hunt this year and maybe shoot his first buck. Trophy to him. Not now. Is this site Iowa Trophy Whitetail or Iowa Whitetail.

Stop with the elk, mule deer comparison. Not even close to being the same. Where are of those who always say rules are rules when you bought. For decades party hunting with nrs was fine. Now it’s not. Really. Hypocrisy at its best.

It’s unenforceable. The party has the tags. A check happens. The guy on the tag is gonna say he shot the deer. Completely toothless.

Here’s my take. Federal and State legislatures pass a broad bill, let’s say at the federal level, we want cleaner water. This is passed with little detail, it’s called enabling legislation, leaving the detail or rules to the appropriate agency. In this example the EPA would then dictate the...

As this debate gains steam what’s the position of the IBA , Iowa Conservation Alliance and other Iowa sportsman’s groups? Residents are affected as well.

So, someone is trying to drive down demand by decreasing NR access to lower land prices to increase affordability for residents ??? That’s the underlying premise??

I texted my CO for confirmation. I’ll fill you in when he responds. He did say he has a meeting this morning and will get info I think tallwide said this already. A concern is lost harvest and how to make that up. NRs will not buy a doe tag at $300 plus to shoot a doe only. So, Farm...

In simple terms you can’t possess a deer, buck or doe, with another’s tag on it. You have a doe tag, you can shoot that doe with your tag only.

I don’t know the motivation. I’m clueless. My IQ is worse. My only thought is get rid of party hunting, period. Why single out a group and a tiny group compared to residents. I can tell you the resident groups in my neighborhood wreak havoc. Whack party hunting completely.

Why was the “small print” ignored all these years? Why and who decided to dig into it now? More people moving to Iowa isn’t the reason. Regardless of how many people are in the state the dnr controls doe tag allocation.

When you were a NR from Michigan did you take advantage of the party hunting regs?? Of course you did. Why should it be different now? This one has a mine mine mine mentality that doesn’t feel right.

1983. Absolutely. You kidding me. My neighbors son in law hunts every year with his father in law. What’s gonna keep him from buying a doe tag , sitting with dad in law, and shooting a buck?? Really. Dad’s gonna say he shot it. Be real. What needs controlled is all party hunting , not...
