It will not happen in Iowa--not yet. I also do not think it will happen anywhere else very soon as there is absolutely no contraseptive procedure deleloped yet that is successful in both money(&time) and results other than hunting. Antihunters are a very small % of the population, most people are indifferent, and if they have to pay to control the deer herd- something that is now generating state & business revenue--they will say NO.I am refering to state wide seasons, cities obviously sometimes shell out $s quite willingly
HCH- I have heard the Ames hunts didnt work so well, but some do, Cedar Rapids has had a very successful season. I think it depends on the way DNR and city officials aproach the hunt, earning a buck tag after shooting x number of does was how it was approached in CR, as well as getting more of the community involved with open forums etc. This helped in dispelling any scare stories the antis came up with.
