Default RE: $428 for a deer license in iowa now

oh i've thought of the many ways to sidestep the law. however, the DNR over there from some reason has something for us. i mean, we hunt safe and dont break game laws, but every deer season, they are trying to find opened gates into our land to try and pinch us for something. the risks of doing anything are too high.

It sickens me to see the iowa bowhunters assoc. control the DNR the way that they do. Not only that, but they OWN the legislature. They are humanoids with basic arguments. They scream "The NR's are stealing our land!" and that got alot of people's feathers ruffled, thinking that the 8000 Nonresidents were buying up all the ground in iowa. they wont raise taxes or raise resident fees. instead, they raise NR fees. we generate almost all of the DNR's revenue from hunting sales. Its quickly becoming a rich man's place to hunt in iowa. the IBA complains that nonresidents try to commercialize the sport too much, but look at them, trying to make money at the same time. Who's worse?
