IBA Legislative Update
Week 4.5
This legislative session has been beset with bills to increase opportunities for qualifying nonresident landowners to get deer tags every year. In fact there is a bill that would allow nonresidents who used to own land in Iowa two free either sex tags every year. Also there is one if you are a nonresident, but have family who are Iowa residents you can get a deer tag every year.
Many legislators have been convinced, more than likely by nonresident landowners, that nonresidents are the key to Iowa’s management of the deer herd and hunting economy.
Please contact your Senator or Representative to voice your opinion on these bills.
Here is a list of those bills:
HSB669 – Another bill giving guides and outfitters 500 of the 6,000 NR any sex deer tags
HSB668 – Allows for a former IA landowner any sex deer tags
HSSB3129 - Relating to nonresident deer hunting on land owned or formerly owned by nonresidents
HF2190 - Non-resident landowner who qualify under written criteria will receive two (2) any sex deer tags. Second section of legislation would give former non-resident land owner any sex deer tag and allow them to purchase an antlerless tag. (You need to read actual legislation) Sponsored by Rep. Wills
SF2054 – Bill allows nonresident, who has family living in Iowa the right to purchase an any sex deer tag for half the nonresident fee.
HF2014 – Gives Guides and outfitters 500 of the 6,000 NR deer tags

The IowaBowhunters Association Mission Statement
The IBA is a statewide association made up of bowhunters. Its purpose is to protect, defend, and promote the sport of archery and bowhunting for all legal game in Iowa using long bow, recurve, and compound bow equipment.
The legislature is being pushed very hard this year by nonresident landowners to change the allotment system. There are some legislators that are listening. If you are reading this you are already aware of the bills listed on the update and perhaps have contacted your legislators. If not please take some time to do it.
