Kinda long, but worth reading...I know there is a lot of interest on this site concerning legislative issues. Does Iowa have such a law on the books? Taken from the March '02 issue of the Missouri Conservationist:
A Moniteau County woman who pleaded guilty to disrupting a deer hunt has become the first person to be fined under a state law prohibiting the harassment of people legally engaged in hunting.
Pam F. Steppleman, 53, of Russellville, pleaded guilty Dec. 18 in Moniteau County Associate Court to violating Revised Missouri Statute 578.151. The law, enacted in 1997, makes intentional interference with legal hunting, fishing and trapping a Class A misdemeanor. Convictions can bring a penalty of up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Conservation Agent Rex Martensen cited Steppleman Nov. 10 after she disregarded his warning and continued to drive on a county road, honking her horn and playing her car radio loudly with the intent to disrupt the hunt of a man in a nearby treestand.
Moniteau County is in the central part of the state, not too far from the Lake of the Ozarks.
