Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place but the updates I see are all from 2012. It also appears the list of legislators isn't up to date as I see my cousin is listed as being on the House Natural Resources Committee and she hasn't been in that office for a year or so now.

Last year I joined the IBA for the first time mainly due to the fact that the organization has a lobbyist who is working for hunters issues in the Iowa legislature.

If you think deer numbers are too low in your area you need to make every effort to be at one of these meetings and speak your mind. It may not help but it certainly could not hurt...
