Howler, no offense intended but your remarks are very far from the truth. I live in southern Iowa and can assure you that we are already getting over-run with nonresident landowners. Last year, over 60% of the ground sold here was to nonresidents. If the regs change to allow nonresidents to get tags every yearyou have no idea what a mess it would create for the resident hunters and farmers. I have already seen good hunting ground go from $700per acre to well over $2000 per acre in just the last 5 or 6 years. My farm is worth three times what I paid for it just 6 years ago.Most of our rough ground is already owned by hunters. I welcome anyone to buy ground as I have done but believe me when I tell you that opening up tags to nonresident landowners will ruin hunting as we know it here. Just ask our friends in Illinois how bad it has gotten there.
