Not that hard. Eliminate the tenant LOT. DNR personnel look up a parcel with the applicants name. That’s it. Parcel must show adequate acreage and the name of the person receiving LOT. It’s a few minutes on the county assessors website. Done. If they’re are two names on a parcel they ask...

No. They are Iowans supporting Iowa hunting, hunters, and conservation efforts. Friends of Iowa were NRLOs led by a wealthy landowner from Texas. I believe his handle was OrionWhitetails back in the day.

Booneriver, You can always look back and say I should have bought land then or I wish prices were much less. In 2002 when I bought my first piece for 750\ac i didn’t complain about my neighbor who bought a farm for 300/ac in 1992. Last year I bought a piece for 5700/ac, I didn’t call it class...

Cos havnt stopped pursuing this. Actually it’s not hard to prove. Even if a guy has split residency he cant have his primary income generated in another state, pay taxes in another state, have mail delivery most of the year in another state etc. This is about an hour or two of work, a...

SF 179 died last year and it will this year. Do you read anyone’s posts. NRs have gained nothing, I used to be one.

How are we increasing NR harvest? NR allocation is still at 6000, the bill that was reserving 600 nrlo tags has been amended removing that item, nr party hunting was eliminated by the dnr and the bill suggesting tags at half price for nr family members is slow walking. It died last year and...

I don’t care where it goes and who’s involved. At least he has the sack to do it. No other President was willing to tackle this. Keep going DOGE.

If small lot owners, 2 to 10 acres, are honest in no way would that justify 3 bucks in the current environment. Should have never been 2 acres. If I’m a legislator who cares about the resource how do I justify it? Like someone mentioned many small lot are abused by hunting other properties...

But they see them all and have good idea how much property a person owns. When my assessors site is pulled up, and my parcel numbers are visible, there’s a feature that lets one “map these”. Hitting that highlights every piece owned. Some counties have that feature some don’t.

When one applies for a lot the dnr asks for a parcel number or name and queries the county assessor website to check it. They know exactly how large tracts are. When the assessors site is pulled up , and a name searched, all my parcels are visible. The dnr employee asked me which one I wanted...

I think this bill is intended to do more than just address deer numbers. It’s meant to clean up 2 acres of a timbered draw or fruit trees qualifying as a landowner. As someone said it was meant to help with crop damage etc. Whoever sponsored the bill allegedly believes 40 acres is more...

That’s not necessarily true. There is new legislation passed by the state legislature through bills and there can be rule changes implemented by the DNR in relation to law in existence. It’s worth speaking up. Never know.

NRs are required to buy an antlerless tag when they draw an any sex tag. Another dnr revenue maker. Is it huge in the big scheme of things, probably not. But it’s expensive compared to other states driving the overall cost to $660, when a person draws, adding up to the most expensive...

179 is the NR family members getting tags at half price I think? Completely oppose this as most do. Regardless of family status gotta wait your turn. Dad and grandpa are already tagging deer for NR relatives. This will make it worse.

Skip and many of us here support everything in the ISC clip you copied. IW, IBA, ISC try to be coordinated in the effort regarding issues that hurt and help. Also, groups like the IBA, not sure about ISC, hire lobbyists as well, that costs money. What issue in the ISC clip do you disagree with.

Yes. They can get forest reserve.

For 22 years here I’ve read very few shoot 3 bucks, never do it. Now, many don’t want to give up the third tag while claiming divisiveness, but few use it, what’s the issue? We watched as nrlos were stripped of their archery doe tag and party hunting, that was ok. I find it hypocritical...

He didn’t falsify anything. The DNR recognizes timber as a crop that can be harvested. A nursery also qualifies. The DNR and legislature need to tighten it up. Hence this bill.

That’s what’s he’s saying. The LOT was intended to help with crop damage not fruit trees and timber draws. The program has morphed from its intent. I have a friend who gets a LOT for 20 ac of timber as his designated “crop”. Was that the intent of the program? Probably not.
