Landowner eligibility question

[Tomo]

I have a buddy who bought eight acres in Woodbury County. He is an Iowa resident who lives in Sioux City. Is he eligible for a landowners tag?

 

[Musky Hunter]

I'm not certain but I think it has to be 40 or more.

 

[JNRBRONC]

Two acres.

Bronc, you are correct, but that doesn't seem right to me. How many deer are going to live on a two acre chunk of ground. Am I wrong or was it 40 before? (I HAVE been wrong before, just ask the wife)

Doesn't matter where they live, matters where you shoot them. I don't know if any deer "live" on my 11 acres but they sure run through it a lot. Just wish the boogers would run through it during legal shooting hours.

I have eight acres that has tenyear and crops around it with a pond on mine and i have every deer in the neiborhood going to the pond.. they might not sleep on mine but they go through it almost every evening..I have gotten a deer every year on my eight acres.

Musky Hunter,
There is something about 40 acres but I can't remember exactly what it is. It might be a zoning thing, that you have to have 40 or more acres to be able to have a hog confinement or something like that. Or maybe it was an ag tax thing.......

 

[jclaws]

it is two acres, and you have to use it for agriculural purposes.

I think if you have 40 acres it's considered a farm. So you don't need to rezone or whatever to build a house.
