    New dog tracking bill HF363

    Good questions. I agree. That's why it wasn't in the proposed bill language. The house NRC members are the ones that decided to add it. I'm hoping the certification amendment can be changed or compromised in the full house vote. Until then the legislator's will continue to hear from me and my...

    New dog tracking bill HF363

    This is a good article that is worth reading if you haven't seen it. It was written about 5 years ago. Some of the states mentioned in the article do now allow tracking. Pennsylvania just recently got it legalized after many tough years of battling. Oklahoma and Colorado also allow it now. The...

    New dog tracking bill HF363

    I'm 100% for it. It is a great tool that works. I do think the past language needed to be rewritten. It has been rewritten to cover most the concerns people have had with it in the past. 37 other states allow it now. About 5 of the states that don't allow it, including Iowa, are currently...

    What's your opinion on blood trailing dogs?

    The petition that was submitted does specify permission would need to be obtained prior to tracking on private property with a dog. It also states the DNR officer in the area being tracked will need to be notified prior to doing the track. Other things will need to be worked out prior to this...

    What's your opinion on blood trailing dogs?

    The main thing that will cause a problem for a tracking dog is if the area has been stomped over prior to the handler and dog arriving. This takes the scent spores and disperses them all over the area and confuses the dog. In states where tracking with a leashed dog is legal and you have...

    What's your opinion on blood trailing dogs?

    I was at the Iowa Whitetail Classic promoting the legalization of using a leashed dog to track wounded deer in Iowa. We did have 842 people sign the petition in favor of this. I am a member of the United Blood Trackers and I live in Eastern Iowa. I am an avid bowhunter. It is now not legal...

    It's Baaaaaack

    I talked to a DNR official that was in charge of the hunting enforcement a couple years ago to get his take on it. He was referred to me by Dale Garner of the DNR. He told me the way the rules are written that he interprets tracking deer with a dog as being the same as hunting deer with a dog...

    It's Baaaaaack

    Yes the Iowa DNR considers it illegal to track a deer with a dog. That is why there has been legislation introduced going on 5 years now to change that. The DNR says it is prohibited to use a dog to hunt for a deer and one of their definitions of hunting includes in search of. That is regardless...

    It's Baaaaaack

    I find it funny I can use a dog off lead to hunt about anything you can think of, (and oh yea one of them might chase and harass a deer) but I can't use a dog on a lead to assist me in finding a deer that was fatally shot and didn't pile up 30 yards after I shot it. The few people against it...

    HSB 645 - DNR will sell land to fund REAP

    Here is the email I sent to the Legislators. I'll hopefully get some decent responses. Legislators, Pertaining to HSB 645, I believe Division IV/ Section 14 should be removed from the bill. It has come to my attention that if this section is allowed to pass the only land that could not be...

    IBA Legislative update 2/3/12

    Tracking Deer With A Leashed Dog Stick bow. I agree that a dog used when tracking should be on a lead and under the full control of the handler, and that permission must be granted prior to tracking with a dog on private property. That is the way this proposed rule is written. I had it written...

    IBA Legislative update 2/3/12

    Hf2017 Under the leashed dog tracking bill I purposely had the bill written to include needing permission to track onto private land. This would only pertain if you were tracking the wounded game with a leashed dog. I put this in because if there is any way for the legislators to come up to...

    Trouble with Leashed tracking dog rule changes

    Hey Pack Nasty, Last year I did a petition to the DNR for the use of Leashed dogs to track Wounded deer. The Natural Resource Committee all voted yes to move forward with the change. The DNR asked if I minded to wait until this year to do the required posting of the intended rule change, public...

    I received a response from the DNR. They confirmed that they are going to proceed forward with this matter. The response I received from them is written below. Brian, I reiterated the points you and I have exchanged in emails during the subcommittees, with the strongest message remaining that...

    Hf 2009

    I was told the 3 person commitee assigned to SF2009 spent a bit of time discussing the worst case senarios and then decided not to pursue it. The problem is there are several legislators that probably have never shot at a deer making decisions for a lot of ethical hunters. Using Wildlands advice...
