I don't think the sky is falling, Chicken Little.
I bet landowner tags/harvest numbers are a drop in the bucket at best.

I sent a email to Gov. Branstad's office today and got the exact same response word for word as last year. See below.......
Thank you for contacting the office of Governor Terry E. Branstad
regarding the deer population in the state of Iowa. As you know, this
is an issue that affects many Iowans whether they hunt, own land, or
travel on our roads. Knowing the importance of this issue, the
Governor appreciates your input, and input from all Iowans who have an
interest in the license totals or other regulations for deer hunting.
The Governor is an avid hunter and has hunted deer during a number of
seasons with his son. He understands, and appreciates, the importance
of hunting in the state. With that said, the Governor also realizes
that the deer population affects Iowans who own property, travel on our
roadways, or pay insurance coverage for their vehicles. And, the
Governor also understands that many people have lost their lives in
accidents involving deer.
Governor Branstad has, and will continue, to work with all Iowans who
have an interest in the state's deer population as administrative rules
or legislation are reviewed that include this topic.
Again, thank you for taking time to contact our office. We appreciate
hearing from you and hope you will not hesitate to contact us again in
the future.
Sincerely,
Office of the Governor

They forgot to say....it is the insurance companies based in Iowa that pay millions of dollars so said governor can keep his office.So until hunting is a billion dollar industry in Iowa, as insurance is,we'll keep voting their way.
We need to end special interest campaign contributions and get our country back!

I need confirmation that his son guides for Drury's. If that is the kind of hunting our Gov endorses, we are in worse trouble than we thought.
