KBNelson,
My guess is that your Wisconsin land would sell for more per acre than your land in Allamakee county. The reason… Illinois and Minnesota landowners buying up Wisconsin hunting land because they can buy OTC buck tags for $160. I have lived in and continue to hunt in both states, and can understand why you are frustrated that you can’t hunt IA more often. Your family is fortunate to own land in one of Iowa’s top counties. Compare the value of that land to a similar size parcel in Buffalo County, WI and you have the reason why Iowa residents appreciate what the IA DNR is doing for us residents. I have a suggestion: Instead of trying to get the Iowa DNR to change their non-resident restrictions, focus your efforts in your own state where you can actually make a difference. Convince the WI DNR to impose tighter NR regulations. It should increase deer numbers, buck quality, and reduce land prices so you can sell your Iowa land and have more to hunt at home.
