As stated this passed committee yesterday and was re numbered as HF 388. Noticed a lobbyist in favor of the bill representing the Iowa Landowner Freedom Coalition. Who are they?

The LO tag issue isn’t a data/numbers thing, it’s a smell test issue. When you hear someone gets a tag for 2 acres everyone’s immediate reaction is, 2 acres? Really. IMO it should be 80. Back in the day farms were divided into 36 160 ac sections, or a square mile. To receive a “bonus” tag...

This bill passed full committee yesterday. The vote was 13 to 8 for passage with an amendment. The amendment I believe is the land must be zoned agricultural and not more than 35% of the reserved 600 can be bow tags.

Rec prices aren’t coming down. We’ve had this talk over and over. Wish in one hand….or buy land. I bought my first piece in 2002 at 700/ac and my last in October at 5700/ac. Keep wishing or find a way. If I waited for the “big correction” I’d own zero.

He froze spending govt wide. Gotta evaluate the hand he was dealt, which is complete shit, in order to make the proper cuts. I removed myself from crp last year after 20 years. Best thing I ever did. When you hear I’m from the government and here to help, run.

Give it up. Jesus. Trump campaigned on this. Was the guys TV turned off for a year? I’ll take every dime Trump finds associated with fraud and abuse. Just because a program exists doesn’t mean it’s necessary. Today it’s reported FEMA sent 59 million to NY to house illegal immigrants...

What ammo are you using??

My wife shot two bucks with Bear Creek Ballistics 160gr round with little blood. Same as everyone above. Her buck this year dropped at impact but got up and walked another 100 yards. I was advised to switch to a Barnes Vor TX 170 gr round. Gonna try. Love the gun.

When you hinge cut a big sized area to promote thicket to keep deer on your property, when you cut browse to attract deer, I think you had a pic on a different thread on your property, tell us how you hunted smarter. If you don’t create the bedding and browse your big old buck might bed...

That’s a bit extreme don’t ya think. High fences are a different discussion. Do you grow food plots? Leave standing beans? Oh, that’s not baiting. Lol I have a stand pinched by a pond forcing deer to walk by at 20 yards. Am I unethical knowing deer won’t cross the water?? Oh, that pond...

I have an old 5 strand cattle fence that’s in great shape but no longer needed, no livestock. In two places the deer have knocked down the top two strands jumping the fence creating good crossings and stand sights. Am I supposed to fix the fence?? In another location I have a 3 acre pasture...

In the language they do define it, it’s about anyone. Kids, step kids, spouse, etc. I’ll take a look and post who qualifies. Here ya go: 1)“Familymember”means a person who is a parent, step parent, child, stepchild, sibling, stepsibling, grandparent, grandchild, or spouse .

This bill gives NRs who have a R family member a tag at half the going NR tag price with all the privileges of a R on the Rs land. This was introduced last Monday. I believe this was attempted last year as well.

I know zero but I would: - Limit depredation tags as it’s an excuse to kill everything. - Eliminate the January doe season. - Roll back straight wall rifles as pinched rounds will come. - Keep NR access at 6000 tags, it works. - Absolutely no x bows. - Some how de-incentivize bull dozing...

This is my third with them and the first where they barely got touched. My beans on the other hand get hammered.

I submit under F. Maybe there is a difference. My bad if there is. I’ve always had crp income. Recently I started to rent as well.

Idk. I also think some cpas are more aggressive than others. Of course that doesn’t protect you. You gotta pay if they F up. Maybe I’ll get called on the carpet one day but it’s been ok for 22 years. I may be not understanding. I have always filed schedule F due to crp income. Are you...

I guess two age old cpas are wrong?? I’ll trust my cpa not IW. I have crp and rent.

I agree with Hardwood here. I’ve had a very experienced cpa who has advised me and taken the same deductions as Hardwood for 20 plus years. Keep in mind most of those years were when I was a nrlo. Mortgage interest, mileage to and from the farm, equipment, maintenance, building depreciated...

There needs to be a committee or board comprised of the DNR, outdoor educated reps/sens and hunters to discuss all issues. All are involved, not a singular group can make informed decisions. Rules, regs and legislation can be planned year to year.
