HF 2232, DEER DEPREDATION PERMITS by Pettengill. Makes non-resident landowners eligible for deer and other wild animal depredation permits.
4 24 EXPLANATION
4 25 This bill relates to hunting, particularly deer hunting, by
4 26 certain nonresident landowners on land owned by them.
4 27 Code chapter 481C, concerning the state's wild animal
4 28 depredation procedures, is amended to apply to nonresident
4 29 owners of farm units as defined in Code section 483A.24. The
4 30 bill provides that depredation licenses and permits, and in
4 31 particular deer depredation licenses and permits, be available
4 32 for issuance to resident and nonresident owners who incur
4 33 agricultural crop, horticultural product, tree, or nursery
4 34 damage of $1,000 or more due to wild animals, particularly
4 35 deer.
5 1 Deer depredation licenses may be transferred by a resident
5 2 or nonresident owner or tenant to a resident hunter for use on
5 3 the land designated in the depredation plan. Deer shooting
5 4 permits are available to resident and nonresident owners and
5 5 tenants who incur such damage, for use on areas where public
5 6 safety may be an issue, and outside of established deer hunting
5 7 seasons.
5 8 Code section 483A.24 is amended to allow a nonresident owner
5 9 of a farm unit, or a family member of such an owner to hunt,
5 10 fish, and trap on the farm unit without a license and to obtain
5 11 special licenses to hunt deer and wild turkey on that farm
5 12 unit, just as resident owners and their families do.
5 13 The bill also changes the definition of "owner" of a farm
5 14 unit to include a person who owns a farm unit and employs a
5 15 farm manager or third party to operate the farm unit or who
5 16 rents the entire farm unit to a tenant who is responsible for
5 17 all farm operations. "Farm unit" means all parcels of land
5 18 which are certified by the natural resource commission as being
5 19 in tracts of two or more contiguous acres, operated as a unit
5 20 for agricultural purposes, and under the lawful control of the
5 21 owner or tenant.

HF 2238,DEER LICENSES by Windschitl. Requires the NRC to issue an any-sex deer license to a non-resident under 18 to be purchased by a resident who is a close relative of the minor, is qualified to hunt, and will accompany the minor. Requires the purchase of a hunting license, and the wildlife habitat and deer management fees. Requires the minor to complete a hunter safety course.
2 3 EXPLANATION
2 4 This bill requires the natural resource commission to issue
2 5 a special any sex deer hunting license to a nonresident under
2 6 18 years of age for purchase by a resident who is a close
2 7 relative of the minor and is otherwise qualified to hunt, has
2 8 a hunting and a deer hunting license, and will accompany the
2 9 minor while hunting.
2 10 The special deer hunting licenses are in addition to those
2 11 available to nonresidents under Code section 483A.8. A person
2 12 who is issued the special license must also purchase a hunting
2 13 license, and pay the wildlife habitat and deer herd population
2 14 management fees. The cost of the licenses is the same as for
2 15 minor resident hunters. The special licenses are valid in all
2 16 zones open to deer hunting and are available for issuance and
2 17 use during any deer hunting season.
2 18 A nonresident minor who obtains one of the licenses is not
2 19 required to complete the hunter safety and ethics education
2 20 course but the resident who accompanies the minor must be
2 21 within arm's reach of the minor at all times while hunting.
2 22 The commission is required to adopt rules to administer the
2 23 subsection.
2 24 For the purposes of the subsection, a nonresident minor
2 25 is a "close relative" of a resident if the minor is a lineal
2 26 descendent of the resident or the resident's spouse, a child
2 27 of a sibling of the resident or the resident's spouse, or a
2 28 sibling of the resident or the resident's spouse.
