Blake - We had a gentleman at our IBA meeting a year and a half ago. What he told us is that they did in fact contact every locker asking them to participate in the hush program. I believe the cost per deer is $55.00 to the locker and $5 to the hush /food bank of Iowa for administrative fees. This is all being donated by The IBA, State Farm, hunters when they get their tags, etc.. Too many to name. Anyway it is the lockers choice wether to take the deer or not, and how they wanted it. I know the first year some would only take it the way they wanted it. I have not heard info on this years program yet. As far as I.W.ers helping out, I would say either call the DNR and ask them, or get ahold of your local IBA rep or board member. Sorry to ramble
