That is a link to the legislation, I'm looking for a link to the administrative rules the legislation requires the NRC to make. Our friend Arec stated that the law was written pretty tight, and it was, but I'm hoping the NRC found a away through the rule making process that would allow...

Wow, miss a week, miss a lot. If some one can post the new rules the NRC has made on this subject I'd like to see them. The legislation has indeed passed but I'm not 100% sure the NRC has made rules. I've been watching the NRC meeting agendas and haven't seen it on the agenda. Doesn't mean it...

TRAIL CAM BAN LINK I don't know if anyone has seen this, it is for both public and private lands. Some interesting points.

110% true. Everyone that took the time to call write or personally see their representatives deserve a huge THANK YOU from all the sportsmen and women in Iowa.

Here is a brief synopsis of the bills that had threads. HJR8/SJR16 The right to hunt, fish trap and harvest wildlife This was a proposed amendment to Iowa’s constitution. Neither bill made it to a full committee. It is a perennial bill and it will return. HSB 157 Using dogs while fur...

The first session of 89th General Assembly came to a close last night (5/19/21) at 2345. I'll go through the legislation from this thread and try to put together a synopsis of what did and didn't pass. It may take a day or two. Stay tuned.

I took that morning off so Bwana Tenring Kokolamma Sherpa could hunt instead of carry my stuff. He did carry me up the hill so I could take the picture though. Since it was down hill I just rolled my way down. It wasn't the rolling that hurt, it was the big tree that stopped me.

A view form the flat part of Clayton County:

The older I get the more creature comforts I like. Those little tables are great for those 8-10 hour mind numbing sits in a blind. I have two in the blind. The one on my right holds strikers in the drink holder, the slate call, phone and ear buds (for listening to the Cubs) go on the flat. The...

It was cold enough Saturday that I needed hand warmers. Sunday looked to be the same so I opened the handwarmer pack before I went out. What a difference a little sunshine makes in a blind. I just couldn't waste the $0.99 so I put them to good use. MMmmmmm, warm turkey sammich. A turkey was...

The bill was introduced into the House yesterday and assigned to the Ways and Means Committee. The committee chair has not assigned a sub committee YET. Speculation is the legislature will be is session for about two more weeks. They are negotiating on competing spending/budget bills. The...

Another LSA fiscal note was done this time on the bill's impact on the DNR budget: LSA FISCAL NOTE #2 This is pretty easy to interpret, but even easier to cut and paste the important part: Assumptions • The number of illegal harvest penalties will remain similar to FY 2020 at 11. • The number...

It is currently still in the House Ways and Means committee, it has not had a subcommittee assigned yet. There was a fiscal note published by the LSA on the 14th. Link to the publication: LSA FISCAL NOTE The part of the report concerning the section of the bill on the charitable conservation...

Passed the Senate today 34-14. Link to the debate: SF 581 DEBATE The clip is just shy of 4 minutes, pretty slow and hard to watch but it gives you an idea of the thinking behind the bill. The bill will move to the House, probably the Ways and Means committee.
