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.

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.
