Landowner tag changes

[Danno]

Would someone please explain the changes in the Landowner tag regs for this year? I'm not sure I see what changed. Thanks

The only real change Icould see was that you had to actually own 2 contiguous acres

I thought you had to be a landowner before, or a tenant.??

Surely someone has some additional comments.

There is an example of husband/wife landowners here. I doubt this impacts many people. Other than this and the minimum acerage requirement, I didn't see many changes.

There is some poor wording on landowner license availability at: DNR Regs Page 23 seems to say that a landowner can get one free any-sex, two free antlerless only (one for must be for late antlerless only season), then two reduced fee antlerless only (@$12 each). The test will be trying to buy them.

Just got back from Fin and Feather. They had a chart for what licenses a landowner can get (it looked like page three of the license combination chart located on the DNR website, but it isn't on the website). As a landowner, you can buy 5 licenses, 3 at $2 and 2 at $12. A person really needs to study the options. I picked up a landowner shotgun any-sex(valid both seasons), a landowner shotgun antlerless, an early muzzleloader landowner antlerless, a resident archery and a resident late muzzleloader. The November antlerless season was a landowner option, but those aren't available for purchase until Nov. 12 (if the county quota has not sold out). If I owned land in the southern two tiers of Iowa counties, I could have purchased a landowner tag for the late rifle antlerless (but I think you have wait until Nov. 12 to buy those).

Anyway, it appears many changes have been made for license combinations for landowners. Visit a sporting goods store and see for yourself.
