I know Mr. Willie Suchy and know that he is a smart guy who has the best interests of the Iowa bowhunter in mind.
I support this ban for these reasons:
1. Lower the risk (No matter how small that risk is) of disease being spread by having a mineral lick or feed pile. I want a healthy herd...
Predators and habitat go hand in hand. If there is enough QUALITY habitat predators are not as big of an issue. If there wern't as many predators the lack of quality habitat would not be as big of an issue.
They are both part of the problem. Having said that, I feel that everything is based...
The access to ground is the issue. More NR's means less ground for residents.
Iowa ranks #48 in federally own land with 0.8% of the state (450,000 public hunting acres).

I was more meaning that as a hunter, I would think that curiousity would surely...
I agree, the deer looks young to me possibly even 3.5... needed another year.:D
Seriously though, no offense to Larry, but get real. Why the heck would you not put the tape to it?
I can totally see not having it officially scored, but what about in the garage with a few buddies and Marsha...
You are supposed to notify by Sept. 1 for the following year if I remember right.
What about having him continue to cash rent the acres with an agreement to buy back a couple acres from him that he doesn't harvest? You would just have to come up with a price like inputs plus his time/machinery.
