If that is the case then the IBA should have no problem changing its stance from undecided to supporting. We'll see how this plays out.

The IBA has opposed tracking dogs for years. I've had discussions with IBA board members who were very strongly opposed. I also had discussions with people on the other side from tracking dog associations I met at the deer classic. They said that the only reason it had not passed was strong...

That is great. Too late in the case of my friends son as he is now to old for youth but definitely a step in the right direction. Previously the IBA did not support this. Hopefully new leadership is beginning to take a new perspective on things.

Would be nice if there was a way to have deer and turkey tags electronically also, otherwise I'm still going t o have to carry a pocketful of tags.

I have emailed Mr. Bacon to voice my support.

Seems like there is quite a bit of support for it on here but it has apparently gone unnoticed by the IBA leaders.

Here's another example that comes to mind. They changed the law a while back to allow a youth hunter who did not fill their tag during the youth season to use that tag during the gun seasons. My good friend had a son that did not like guns, for whatever reason he was averse to them and only...

I've responded to Randy Taylor former president several times when he has sent out legislative emails. I get that communication is a two way street. Give members a way to be heard and we'll take advantage of it.

Yes, definitely other issues as well but this really is the straw that breaks the camels back. I think the IBA has done a poor job of being in tune with what the members want. I think a small minority of old guard leaders have pushed their own agendas often. When was the last time an IBA leader...

I would argue that this change in conjunction with no party hunting would improve the deer herd.

Any updates on this?

I'm disappointed in the IBA. Maybe I'm in the minority but I find myself disagreeing with the stances they take. I've been a member and supporter for several years but have skipped the banquet the last two years and am questioning whether I want to continue to be a member.

Just curious, if they passed a law that made tags good for all seasons but it also eliminated party hunting and each hunter was only allowed to fill their own tag would you support it?

I would like to see landowner tags go to a system like this. I think you should be able to hunt your own land until you fill your tag.

Pretty cool. Tell him he needs to do some deer and not just fish.

You need to talk to Doyle Kincy, president of Mid Iowa Archers and a bee keeper and honey producer. He has a ton of knowledge about the topic. His honey has won the blue ribbon at the state fair the last two years.

As a parent of a child who suffered a brain injury I will say that the brain is an amazing and unpredictable thing and I would not assume the worst as far as where his recovery might lead. I hope he is able to be the husband and father his family needs.

I got this email slso. Does anybody have contacts with DNR that can vouch for legitimacy?

I'm all for this passing. It is long overdue. As far as who would use a dog for a buck or a doe who cares? I think every hunter should at least have that option. Not all taking dogs will be commercial hire dogs, I think seversl hunters will train their own or have a friend or neighbor that has...

Thanks a ton for the info. One question, the pin on the bolt face for the extractor spring, should you be able to push it in with your finger when you have the BCH out? How much resistance should it have? Just wondering as I have pushed on it and it didn't move so wondering if it is seized and...
