Not that I read them all, but Item 20, Iowa City deer plan, actually mentions bow hunting. It also says rimfire rifles shall not be used. Was white bufalo using .17HMR?
Maybe the door is opening for bow hunts in Iowa City.

As I see it Willie was able to keep them from letting everyone get EM tags...to which I would like to say THANKS Willie!
The only thing I still have a little problem with is saying " deer numbers are down, car/deer accidents are down, the kill was up" and at the same time raising the antlerless quota in many counties
I just feel all the numbers are coming from the central and northern parts where they are easily controlled.
I don't have a problem with raising the quotas...but I DO have a problem when they start adding "special seasons" to control the deer in those areas. We're already adressing that problem in another thread....so I'll leave it at that

they basically have dropped the hunter ed certification requirement for kids
[/ QUOTE ]
As I understand it, that is proposed for the youth seasons. However, hunter ed is still required to get a hunting license if you were born after 1967. The youth do not need a license if under 16 years of age and hunting with a licensed adult but sooner or later they will so I always suggest that they get this training as soon as they can.

Someone questioned this at ICN meetings but Mr. Little felt (and I agree) that a parent is capable of knowing their youngsters are ready to hunt with them, during the youth season.
We need to do anything possible to encourage young people in the sport of hunting and if taking them at 9 or 10 will get them excited about hunting...then doggone it...get em in the woods!
As I understand it...they will also be able to use up to 3 antlerless tags during the youth season also. All of that is a little hard to read since they have old rule crossed out and new rule added

I wouldn't hold my breath. The DNR has recommended bow hunts from day one, only to have a one or two city council members veto it. I'm really tired of them spending my tax dollars (hiring White Buffalo @ $180K/yr) on "curing a problem" that could be taken care of at no cost to the tax payers (allow bow hunting, DUHHH!).

The amendments list license quotas for antlerless deer licenses, change restrictions on
seasons in which antlerless-only licenses may be used, require landowners and tenants to register
before obtaining free deer licenses, require all hunters that shoot deer to report each kill to the
Department, and clarify tagging requirements.
Notice of Intended Action was published in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin on
March 29, 2006, as ARC 5015B. A public hearing was held on April 18, 2006. More than 250 comments were received. Most comments opposed changes to the Early Muzzleloader Season and the November Antlerless season.
The changes from the Notice of Intended Action are: 1)
Establishes final antlerless license quotas, 2) restores some restrictions on antlerless-deer-only
licenses depending on the season in which an any-deer license was purchased, 3) clarifies
tagging requirements, 4) permits the use of crossbows for senior hunters during the bow season
as required by a Code change, and 5) defines “juvenile child” for purposes of obtaining free deer
licenses.
