Yesterday, 3/14, the House Ways and Means Committee set the date of their next full committee meeting. On the agenda for that meeting is SF 581. The date of the meeting is 3/15, that is/was today. The legislature provides a system to track bills by subscribing to them and receiving an email when...

Can it be licensed?

Several amendments were proposed to this bill today (HF 2370). Two of them are the same ones about disabled veteran NRs getting a deer tag and resident disabled vets getting lifetime trout licenses that were proposed to HF 2410 the NRLO bill. The third strikes the requirement for tungsten shot.

I have gotten one reply to the jungle drum. It echoed pretty much what Windlooker indicated but they too urged caution. The bill has been moved off the daily debate list but remains on the debate eligible list and could be called on very short notice.

I have not heard any responding drum beats yet, but the bill was on the House Daily Debate Calendar on 3/2 and not on the subsequent HDDC published for 3/7. A word of caution, one needs to look no further than SF 581 to know how many lives these bills have so let's not pop the cork yet.

I'll beat the jungle drum and listen for a reply.

My bad. This time of year the bill numbers get turned around.

Care to share? I sure hope you are correct. PM me if you want.

With every good intention there are unintended consequences. Call me pessimistic, or a whatever you want, but here is where I feel we could be headed with the conservation tag program. Two things that might happen. Thing 1: These tags are supposed to go to conservation groups. There is one...

Try Iowa Code 2022 483A.24-3 I can't get you a link to the .24-3 part, the closest is .24, you'll need to scroll down. Link <483A.24> If that doesn't work just google Iowa Code 483A, there is an index at the top and .24-3 starts aways down the page. 483A has most of the licensing stuff. Here...

Anybody have any experience using a top handle saw? I've been looking at a Stihl MS194T. I think it would be great for a limbing/pruning saw. I did get to run one with a 12 inch bar on a saw log just to run it, so it wasn't much of a real-world test. I'd like to hear from anybody who has used...

Yes, we need to contact all the legislators Skip posted in his second post. This is the house natural Resources Committee.

SF 351 passed a subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee this afternoon (3/2). The next step for this bill is a full Ways and Means Committe hearing. As of this post one has not been scheduled. House Ways and Means Commitee members: lee.hein@legis.iowa.gov...

Passed the sub 2-1. They even changed the time of the meeting from 5:00pm to 3:30pm. I heard about it 3:25pm so I was unable to watch.

Ummmmmm, welllllll, uhhhhhhh, hmmmmmmm. Damn it Ishi, when you're right, you're right. I wonder if there is a line in Vegas over/under if he falls asleep during the SOTU.

Neither do I but the people we elect sure like to act like deer managers. I heard one the other day, "It shouldn't be called 'The Capital', it should be called 'the building of unintended consequences'". Unfortunately, everything is hunting related. Here is a link to the amended bill that...

Good in some regards, but this bill, HF2317 passed the Seante with amendments and the Senate then dropped SF 2206 that would have funded the Trust (IWILL). No IWILL money means the legislature will be more likely to pass an increase in NR tags and NRLO tags. So, lets enjoy our tax cuts, but at...
