I recieved this email this morning....
Just so you know, as the deer bill goes toward the house for discussion, there is some interest by one or two individuals who want to be able to let paying hunters shoot deer in any size enclosure. As little as one acre if that is all they want to fence to release the animal into. I can't see how anyone can think this is acceptable, but this is economic progress, I guess. This is coming from southeast Iowa as best as I know now. If you have concerns with this idea, and this may keep shooting preserves from coming back under the jurisdiction of the dnr from ag, who is not monitoring these people at all since they intherited this last year, you might want to contact your representative. Monitoring these operations may be the key to keeping cwd out of Iowa or catching quickly in the future.
