    DNR Public Meetings

    This was the best of these meetings I have attended in the last several years (Des Moines). It was interesting to see several western Iowa counties were down over 30% in deer population. The best part was there were at least 2 legislatures attending. I thanked them for attending and...

    DNR Public Meetings

    Was this the first notification you received? I believe it was for me. Thanks for posting and sorry for the duplicate post.

    Hickory woodlot

    Bill Winke just did a couple videos on this. My preference is cut down. Girdle based on size and ability to successfully drop. I hinge a few in spots.

    My little project this year. 500 acre farm with zero deer

    If you read the original post, this was a high fence hunting farm. Sounds like the DNR required all ungulates be killed before the fence could come down.

    THE PLAN TO KEEP IOWA GREAT- CALL TO ACTION!

    I am waiting on ISC to be added to my employers donation portal. That gets a 50% match to my donation. Let me know if I should skip that and just send in the funds without the match (time of donation being more critical than amount). Also, a reminder for others to check if they can get...

    Season over December 31

    I see your point, but still think the main reason people choose gun 2 now is for 2 weekends. I still contend most (non landowners/managers) will take gun 1 given your new options. Only way to know for sure is to implement it and see what happens.

    Season over December 31

    I still think this will put 90% of the gun hunters in season 1 as there is no incentive to pick season 2. That seems like it creates far more potential conflicts and safety issues.

    Season over December 31

    I generally agree, but there are possible issues on the gun season. If you set it by dates as you described, you could have a 5 day season with no weekend. Or, are you just suggesting taking the current gun 2 to 5 days instead of 9? If so, that looks like it will put the vast majority of the...

    Season over December 31

    Even better, take it back to what it was intended to be - a primitive arms season. No more scopes, no more smokeless powder. If you spend the money it is pretty much a "single shot high power rifle" season now.

    POLL: MOST BENEFICIAL REGULATION CHANGE?

    That would be a big reduction in revenue - unless the price goes up significantly. I generally by 2 or 3 any sex tags each year - and 90% of the time I only fill one or zero.

    POLL: MOST BENEFICIAL REGULATION CHANGE?

    What actually does "1 buck" mean? Can I only buy one any sex tag per year so I would have to pick only 1 of early muzzy, bow, gun 1, gun 2, and late muzzy? Or, I can buy 2 (or more) of these but can only fill one with a buck? I am more in favor if it is the 2nd option.
