We don't have the Iowa pursuitlaw here in CT either but in a way, the state virtually claims ownership of the game animals through thiergame regulations anyway.
What we do have here as most states probably do toois a limitation of liability for any landowner thatgives any hunter permission tohunt on to their property.
So in essence, the Iowa law is only asking for something in return for granting the limitation of liability in the first place.
There's a greater public benefit to be gained from both types of laws.
The only real problem about abusing the law is if it leads to some formof hunter harassmentor interference witha private landowner while they are hunting...or if the landownerhas some kind ofillicit activitytaking place on their landwhich they don't want anyone else to discover and thenoops! it is. Now that's part ofwhat's referred to as the "long arm of the law".
