Nonresident Deer Hunting application

...primitive,unsporting and ignorant? If you speak face to face with Iowans the way you have on this forum, I would hope you'd be escorted to the state line! With an attitude towards Iowans and Iowa regulations as you have, my suggestion to you is to stay in your own state to hunt deer.
 
I would just like to reply to some of the statements made by nodriver. He said that deer hunting in Iowa is not a tradition because it is only fifty years old. That also must mean that turkey hunting in Iowa isn't a tradition either. Well I have to disagree with him on that, if your family or group of friends does something annually for five decades regardless of what it is I think it would be considered a tradition therefore making deer hunting a great Iowa tradition. Another statement that he makes saying that shotgun only is not reasonable any more because of adavances in technology in muzzleloaders and other guns. I don't believe that the IDNR has shotgun only for reasons of saftey only I think that the main reason is because it would be too easy in most parts of the state with a road every mile, it wouldn't take much to get into rifle range of bucks I know while scouting I could have easily gotten into rifle range of some very nice bucks. I also think that one reason we are blessed with have so many trophy bucks in our state is because of our shotgun only seasons that are held after the rut. I think if you look nationaly at states that produce large numbers of large bucks that they probably have the same types of seasons as Iowa.
 
Congrats BOWDUDE...it's unanamous!! With opinions like that, let's be selfish. I don't participate in party hunting because I don't like the concept of party hunting. But let's not condem those that enjoy it. I know many people who meet up once a year during shotgun season for the freindships they have made over the years. They're residents of Iowa also.
