As most of you know 2005 Iowa Legislation has begun, the deer issues are hot and insurance companies are very serious about legislative actions to reduce our deer herd.
We need phones call to your legislators, members of the House and Senate Natural Resource Committees. All calls should be polite, respectful and to the point. Let them know your position on the following topics regarding Iowa’s Deer Herd.
* Let them know that Iowa sportsmen and women are doing their part to control the deer herd.
* Maybe the HUSH program should be streamlined to make it easier to get deer in the program.
* This year’s harvest of deer should be an all time high, with all the extra doe tags.
* Most Importantly Why Non-Resident hunters should not be effectively used as a management tool.
**** including your thoughts on losing land and hunting rights
**** the possible adverse population concerns of leasing etc
