I don’t buy it either. It’s very very easy to make an increase in price and not even have to justify it. Look at the world we live in today, every single thing has gone up in price and the justification behind it is what? Nothing…………
So the state in every single aspect of their revenue...
Bingo!
You killed a deer, you hunted an entire season. Go fish, go shoot rabbits, go chase squirrels, go pheasant hunt, duck hunt…………we have all kinds of outdoor activities that can replace days afield.
1 buck tag state wide, plus 1 buck tag for LO who own 20 acres or more.
Land owner tags be priced at the same price point as a regular any sex tag.
Cell cameras illegal to use during season.
No more party hunting.
Doe tags reduced state wide.
Youth hunters must be 12 years of age and...
That thing is really sharp. For a wheelhouse that’s gotta be one of the better looking ones I’ve seen on the inside and out. At first glance most would never even know that it’s used as an ice house.
Bad thing, there’s more guys abusing this than people think. We sit here and complain about non residents and celebrities and whoever else someone deems worthy of “ruining” Iowa’s deer herd. When in reality it’s guys like Mike who are just as much to blame. Guys have become “overnight” deer...
Anybody watch the most recent Midwest Whitetail episode where Mike’s Daughter (under the age of 16) killed her 3rd buck of the season. During the video she also proceeds to tell the audience that she has a “landowner” tag in her pocket too. She kills her 3rd buck and dad pulls it into the corn...
I wish every hunter in Iowa would stop throwing CWD around. Fastest way to ruin your herd is make claims about seeing it or having one affected by it. Just ask those fellas up in Northeast Iowa how that’s worked for their herd in areas where there have been positive tests………
I guess I’m not following……….
There’s left over tags because there was that many people “abusing” the “partying hunting” and so therefor now those same people don’t want to come buy a 500$ doe tag because in reality it was a 500$ neighbor, friend of a friend, Betty sue up the road, Tom from...
The 5-6 year wait in for archery tag. The issue lies the guys who abuse the doe tag loop hole during gun season. Those guys own ground, and then every member of their family will put in to draw, children, wife’s, grandmas, you name it. One draws and the rest buy doe tags. The farmer Joe blow...
I think Iowa tightening up our rules and regulations regarding non resident loop holes is a far better potential to see rec land prices fall, vs EHD. Like others have said, our hunting even at its worse is far better than majority of places in the United States. Historically my area is...
You’re not accounting for EHD. There’s years where counties have seen 50% of their deer killed off. Yet the deer harvests #’s don’t decrease? Meaning more of your mature deer are getting killed. Same thing with turkeys and same thing with waterfowl. Banding data showed record number of...
Follow the money.
The only people saying the numbers are falling are entities that rely on hunters for an income.
Government Agencies
Outdoor magazines
Social media
“Professional hunters”
Etc.etc.etc
These examples depend on X amount of money coming in. At no time is anyone going to...
