I don’t know how many outfitters there are, but when I spoke with rep Breckenridge he said there have been very few for some time now. If you emailed him he might know the exact # or close to it.

The sheer amount of misinformation stated in so few words is impressive. Most of us hunters see right through it, but if you’re a legislator and don’t know any better I could see how you might be convinced otherwise. The language used by the outfitter lobby in IA is nearly identical to bills in...

You are very articulate!! Thanks for making your voice heard. This will help me with phrasing when speaking to lawmakers and hunters in the future.

Comments sent - thank you

Most mature bucks in WI are now taken by CB. I think the State is now #1 for youngest avg age class of bucks too. I am not opposed to CB use in principle. I think it would be fun to hunt with one. In my fantasy world, IA would have Oct archery, Nov stick bow only, and late season crossbows...

Response from Breckenridge: "Thank you for your message. It appears the bill didn’t get beyond the introduction phase, and was never assigned to a subcommittee. It’s unlikely it will go anywhere (this year anyway)."

I just learned of this site the other day from a member on HuntTalk. I'm looking forward to being more involved in local politics and legislation involving natural resources, public land, wildlife management, and hunting. I've lived in MN, SC, ND, CO, and now IA for 13 years in Linn, Polk...

Here's what I wrote my House rep (D): Hi my name is _________, I live in Newton. I'm writing to ask that you consider voting against HF 666. This bill calls for the natural resource commission to establish a "buffer zone" on public land in Iowa open to hunting where persons are not allowed to...
