If this were to happen, could it be a ploy to increase pressure for more non-resident tags (especially for landowners)? Perhaps not, but this could create a united front and more demand for more tags that ultimately leads to more funding and pressure to change?
Thanks Skip for all of your efforts to preserve Iowa’s great hunting - both from a quality and access/opportunity perspective. Especially when you’ve worked so hard for the land that you have and don’t ‘have to’ on a personal level. I’ve written in also - thanks again.
Congratulations! Awesome hunt and memories! We lost my Grandpa this year and even when he couldn’t hunt anymore, Dad and I would bring him out in the truck for recoveries. Enjoying God’s creation with family is priceless! Congrats too on the first deer on the new farm!
I agree with Skip’s and others’ notes above. Probably implied with his comments but never park in front of or block a driveway/gate. You never know when the farmer may want to access that area…
Also, you may lose permission because family dynamics have changed or a relative moved to the area...
Hope everyone had a great weekend. I was blessed with an extra fun hunt Sunday morning. Our middle two daughters wanted to go so I was really hoping for an action-packed hunt. We got in pretty early and I had bought them a donut as part of the fun of going with Dad. Unfortunately, I didn’t...
Thanks! I’ve taken our oldest two but they haven’t been the most interested (so far anyway). Our four year old seems the most likely at this point. She went turkey hunting with dad and me last spring and wants to go again this year, likes to shoot her little bow, etc. We should be able to...

I love to turkey hunt - started with the gun but use the bow for me and call for friends and family who gun hunt. I had old terrible looking Delta decoys from college but upgraded to a Dave Smith jake with an old hen and it’s made it noticeably easier to get them in close. I’ve had countless...
I received the same canned response. Here’s how I responded….
Respectfully, I disagree with the assessment that this will help residents and Iowa wildlife management. It will however continue to shift land ownership and access away from Iowa residents. At the end of the day, 10 years is a drop...
Hi everyone - here is what I sent in - I’m sure there are gaps or other things I should have said - but thought it may help to get others thinking and take the time to write in. It doesn’t really take that long.
Representative Baxter:
Good evening. I would ask that you reject HSB 610 that...
