Oh I know that, and I attempted to tell this legislator that... but he didn’t listen. In fact, he told the room that coonhounds and coyote dogs have to be certified, so why not deer tracking dogs too!!

I agree completely!! We fought HARD against this but one know it all (who thinks all dogs bark on track and will disturb hunters) wanted this and was able to add it when we couldn’t give input. Don’t lose hope!! We can and will work hard to give as many people as possible the opportunity to...

Passed UNANIMOUSLY with an amendment requiring certification of dog and handler.

We buy office chairs from the habitat for humanity store. Cheap, lightly used, supporting a good cause.

Nice! Can’t wait for the update!!

I shot my first buck with a .44 lever action in South Dakota. I think I was 14?

Actually, the concern was that it would hold the bill up in ways and means. Every year so many groups want the bill their way or the highway and every year it dies for lack of support from people who complain but make no efforts to write their own version, or fail to realize there’s always...

I don’t notice the difference with panfish, but cold water is huge for catfish and trout. We don’t keep Catfish unless they are caught at ice out.

Yes!! I truly hope and expect to be very busy next year, not just tracking but hosting training days. Anyone with a good bird dog can train their dog to track. Time will tell...

Looks like these will produce a higher percentage of deer that need tracking. Something with that short of a barrel can’t possibly be consistent without significant practice, can it??

ALL my deer prior to college were tested for CWD via state surveillance. You were supposed to keep your meat in the freezer until the results were back. There wasn’t a lot, but enough. I’m not sure if there’s still a problem or not, I haven’t kept tabs on it since I left the state 14 years ago.

He’s not breaking the law as the law is written now. It’s a “grey area”. I’m not maligning him, I agree with him in many ways. I understood exactly what he said. Unfortunately, the law isn’t grey enough. If it was, it wouldn’t need clarification. I’m taking away my personal options as a...

I haven’t been out this year, but we got this mess last year after I was sent “home” from the hospital in early labor... 12 hours later my son was born.

So the way this bill is written, I cannot go to South Dakota (Home State) and bring back my deer intact. I would either need to process the deer completely before leaving the state OR bring home only the skull plate. Am I reading that correctly?

Sweet. Finally a legislator in my area. I will add this to my call list.

What??? Don’t tell the pheasant road hunters...

Who’s pushing this? We can shoot more deer in Iowa than just about anywhere. Are people too cheap to pony up another $15 for another tag in a different season? With a decrease in license sales we need more sales, not less.

The dishonest don’t need this bill for a window of exploitation. I’d bet anything that DNR officer has been using his dog and doesn’t want to use a leash. My intention was not to browbeat anyone, and I may not have opened as I intended. I donated bone marrow yesterday and was out of sorts, but...

Yeah? I might have been extremely caught off guard. I thought “we aren’t touching that with a 10 foot pole” was pretty clear. You’d have thought someone brought up changing gun season to the rut...
