How are they eliminating it?? What’s the plan. I get it but that’s an easy work around. NR hunting does. Resident with multiple tags uses one on the buck the NR shoots just like now. It’s nearly unenforceable. They would have to ban NR doe hunting like they eliminated the nrlo archery doe tag years ago, that’s not happening.

Is there any way that they could track these buck kills? I assume not at all. Would be curious what the actual harvest total is with this loophole
I'm sure some people will do that, but I feel like MOST people are not going to blatantly start poaching deer. Most will follow the rules.

If this were to happen, could it be a ploy to increase pressure for more non-resident tags (especially for landowners)? Perhaps not, but this could create a united front and more demand for more tags that ultimately leads to more funding and pressure to change?

I'm a little bothered that this stuff keeps coming out of nowhere . If they can do this and the floating LO tag without giving us any chance to comment, what other big changes will we suddenly find out are becoming reality without any chance to fight it?

How about some details from those who “heard” this may happen. What’s being said ?? It would have to be a rule change, legislative session is done. Again years ago the nrlo doe archery tag was eliminated over night.

It is going to be a good fall!
Is it even a bill ? I can’t see this being passed ?

The only way this works is if they make a rule saying nrs can’t hunt unless they draw an anysex and doe tag through the draw.
It's already done from what I heard. Not a bill.

I'm all for this change but I hope items like crossbows, more outfitters, more NR hunter tags, etc don't go thru unknown like this one.

This is fluff. NRs who party hunt know a resident(s) who they hunt with. They’re not party hunting with outfitters. If a NR can buy a doe tag very little will change. I know I’m being redundant but I see no teeth.
So you think all those peeps are going to become poachers and shoot bucks anyway?

1983. Absolutely. You kidding me. My neighbors son in law hunts every year with his father in law. What’s gonna keep him from buying a doe tag , sitting with dad in law, and shooting a buck?? Really. Dad’s gonna say he shot it. Be real. What needs controlled is all party hunting , not just NRs. Keep in I mind I live in Iowa now. It’s toothless.
Hardwood is right , the rules are the rules. What do you say to Iowans that moved away and come back to hunt with family?? Hunting is supposed to be about friends and family right. Or, is this only about trophy hunting?

No. Don't shoot the messenger.

The push for NR landowner tags will increase. Some guys won’t be able to hunt their own farm for 5 years ?? Rule change-BS !
