Have you ever gone in the GIS for the county you live in and clicked around on parcels? I know by my little piece it is loaded with NRLO and some are very large holders 3000 acres or more.

I look forward to his report each year and have corresponded with him in the past. Keep in mind that he is from China and what he learns goes right back there.

I don’t know where your farm is at and on what side of the state and I will believe you because I don’t live there. but I have a hard time wrapping my head around this fact . This is certainly not the case in most of of south central and south east Iowa sections known for deer hunting.

We did all that 10 years ago here in WI......Didn't work still many positive are found. Now nobody even talks about it now. Surprised that MN does not look at what we did and how none of it worked and try a different approach.

As I stated in another thread, interpretation of a post is based on the reader's frame of reference. If your frame of reference is that politicians are taking money then that's on you.
And to your second point, NRLOs caused the conservation issue and now you want to be the cure? Sounds like big pharma to me. Create a problem or disease when one doesn't exist and them come up with the resolution or cure for it. Smart like a fox I tell ya.

From the deep pockets angle, there are currently 20 or so conservation tags available to NRs. I believe the average price per tag is around $10,000. $5,000 to the conservation group and $5,000 to the DNR. It would be interesting to see how many of the tag purchasers are NRLO's.
Along those same lines, if NRLOs are successful in their quest to change our laws to suit their purpose several conservation groups and the DNR could lose substantial revenue.

It is going to be a good fall!
I don’t follow you ... explain the conservation problem NR created?

Perhaps the person you should be asking for clarification is Jdubs.
I'd bet 99% are purchased by NR most probably being NRLO. The people buying them are people who have money and are willing to pay to jump to the front of the line.
Obviously this is a non issue for residents.
... i would guess it's in reference to NRLO having large tracks that are deer sanctuaries.

Most farms have a sanctuary... all mine do. My Resident neighbors do...I’m sure Skip does, the key is to harvest some or a lot deer/does (depending on size of farm)so the population does not get out of hand and lead to Excessive crop damage, herd health issues EHD, etc...

Seems like you were the one to say "maybe there are legitimate conservation issues on NRLO land that have been ignored for years that do need addressed". See a few posts back if you forgot.
Can't believe how many times you make a statement and then act like you didn't. Or, refuse to answer questions about the statements you make.
I thinks it’s obvious. Hardwood also made the argument. We have property we can’t manage that promotes habitat and disease issues. Not very difficult.
If I don’t draw I can shoot one doe? Doesn’t cut it. No, I’m not having residents manage the land I pay for.
If Iowa doesn’t want this problem under the current nrlo regs prohibit non resident land ownership. The IBA can hire a lobbyist and propose the legislation. The IBA has a hired gun, like Mr Jensen. Problem solved.

So maybe you'd like to expound on the conservation issues created by nonresident land ownership. I wouldn't want to put words in your mouth.
