i am an iowa resident and i have followed this resident vs. non resident debate for a long time and i think it just misses the point and is very short sighted. the vocal iowa hunters focus on trying to keep non residents out when the greater problems are getting more land for hunting and...
this would appeal to very few iowa hunters since it is completely contrary to the deer driving party hunting mentality that shoots all bucks that move regardless of size etc. the iowa slaughter goes on and good deer are incidental.
regardless of the number of non resident licenses issued, Iowa shall remain in the dark ages of deer sport hunting and management as long as it continues to allow party hunting and deer driving. these practices degrade the experience of hunting a noble quarry like the whitetail and turn it into...
to non resident: i would not buy land in iowa for hunting purposes for these reasons: lottery requirement and high price for 1 deer; rampant trespassing by locals during all seasons but especially gun season; unsportsmanlike conduct during all shotgun season with party hunting locals shooting...
no one really hunts blackpowder in iowa so hunting public or private should not be much of a problem. i would schedule your hunt as long after shot gun season ends as possible because the party hunting deal in iowa tends to scatter bucks into hiding very quickly. most farmers are sick of deer...
alot of the farmers are basically going broke and why shouldn.t they charge for hunting on their land. i cannot understand why anyone thinks they have the right to hunt on someone else's property for free. land can still be leased very cheaply in iowa and so i say beat the outfitter to it and...
to azbuckbuster: get 10 guys, drive to the nearest woods, surround it, send eight guys in and stand at the end and shoot the deer as they run out. shouldn't take more than an hour or so and you'll be on your way.
why do residents who own no land think they are entitled to hunt for free on someone else's land? why don't bow hunters and others who actually hunt deer immediately oppose party hunting as a way to conserve quality deer. party hunting is just a total waste of the resource and makes non...
dear azbuckbuster, iowa is instituting a preference point system this year. for birds you just need a season long nonres license over the counter. 50-50 on deer license. not worth the effort as you can only kill one deer. try nebraska for over the counter blackpowder one month season...
to those that defend party hunting, i would say that first of all it is hardly a tradition since deer hunting in iowa only goes back to the early l950s and it is certainly not a national tradition, and in fact it is illegal in most states including those that have long deer traditions such as...
why shouldn't farmers be able to make money charging deer hunters for the use of their land when most of the farmers are on the verge of bankruptcy most of the time anyway, and why shouldn't this group of potential hunters include the out of staters that are willing to pay money and take time...
ran into a group of "hunters" in a bar during first shotgun season and asked how they were doing. they replied 9 bucks so far, up to 8 points. i asked them if they ever shot does and they replied they were going to do that tomorrow. when are the yahoos at the iowa dnr going to eliminate the...
