While I think education is very important, but I'm not a fan of tax payers money going to private schools. You choose private schooling because you have the funds to send your kids there. A large percentage of Iowa citizens don't have the funds to do that, yet they should pay taxes to support...

I hunt either 1st season or late ML because the neighbors hunt 2nd season and the easement drive goes right by my blind. I've seen better bucks during 1st season, but it's also a shorter season. Weather is hit and miss 1st season. I'm hunting 1st this year since we haven't killed any doe for...

Democrats hate guns because it's harder to control people who are armed.

I'll say one word for everyone to think about,"VIRGINIA"!

Guessing the 5 or 6 counties with buck only during 1st season and no doe tags? Last two seasons this has been in effect, but I haven't heard, or read any data pro or con yet.

Senate file 2241.

Can't hunt within 200 yards of the sight and the feed needs to be completely removed ten days prior to hunting. If the officer thinks it altered the normal travel of a deer, you can be fined. This is what a local officer told us several years ago because we though a neighbor was putting out...

Might be a couple more restrictions in the regulations you're missing when saying you just can't hunt over it!

Hitting where it hurts, the checkbook.

After the meetings in 2024, six counties in western Iowa did away with doe only tags and changed 1st season shotgun to buck only. Several other county's doe tags were also reduced or removed. DNR was able to change those regulations. This is only the second year these regulations have been in...

It's called a landowner tag. To me that means you are the person who owns the land and pays the taxes on it.

In the pic it didn’t

That's why it's called an anysex tag, not a buck tag like most on here is calling it and implying that LO's tag is used to kill only bucks. Yes I know a lot of LO who also deer hunt. The LO I hunt on also deer hunts.

Question to all the non landowners who's asking landowners to give up an anysex tag. Do all of you hunt only public land, or do you hunt on private property? If you hunt private property, think about how your hunting would change only hunting public? I don't really think the extra anysex tag...

Is there already a regulation against having and using a tag in another persons name? Iowa does, so the person is already breaking the regs, so more regs won’t stop certain people from still doing this.

I guess you shot too many doe in your area. I did see a couple picks of antlered doe shot this year, but in other states.

You make a good point. Even 10, 15 years ago when the numbers were high, not everyone shot a mature buck. Not every person buys a tag with the goal to shoot a big mature buck. The ones who deer hunt only to shoot a big mature buck, seem to be the ones shouting the loudest because they're not...

You asking how many landowners hunted their own land with a floating tag? The woods is their own land isn't it? Before you reply with they hunt other property with their LO tag, which might be true, but anyone can break the law, until they get caught doing it.

Not seeing any poles about changing ANYTHING when it comes to bow season? Ironic isn't it? Those who bow hunt and also gun hunt, don't want anything to interfere with bow hunting the rut, yet will always make excuses how hard deer are to hunt during the rut!

I know a lot of people on this site want to do away with party hunting, straight wall rifles, modern ML's, and shorten gun seasons stopping all deer hunting on December 31st. I think if this happens, you'll see a huge push for crossbows because the gun hunters who can't shoot a bow, can buy a...
