  1  1    Section 1.  Section 483A.7, subsection 3, Code 2003, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    3.  A nonresident wild turkey hunter is required to have a
  1  4 nonresident hunting license and a nonresident wild turkey
  1  5 hunting license and pay the wildlife habitat fee.  The
  1  6 commission shall annually limit to two three thousand three
  1  7 five hundred licenses the number of nonresidents allowed to
  1  8 have wild turkey hunting licenses.  Of the two three thousand
  1  9 three five hundred licenses, one hundred fifty licenses shall
  1 10 be valid for hunting with muzzle loading shotguns only.  The
  1 11 commission shall allocate the nonresident wild turkey hunting
  1 12 licenses issued among the zones based on the populations of
  1 13 wild turkey.  A nonresident applying for a wild turkey hunting
  1 14 license must exhibit proof of having successfully completed a
  1 15 hunter safety and ethics education program as provided in
  1 16 section 483A.27 or its equivalent as determined by the
  1 17 department before the license is issued.
  1 18    Sec. 2.  Section 483A.8, subsections 3 and 5, Code 2003,
  1 19 are amended to read as follows:
  1 20    3.  A nonresident hunting deer is required to have a
  1 21 nonresident hunting license and a nonresident deer license and
  1 22 must pay the wildlife habitat fee.  The commission shall
  1 23 annually limit to eight twelve thousand five hundred licenses
  1 24 the number of nonresidents allowed to have any sex deer
  1 25 hunting licenses.  Of the first six thousand nonresident deer
  1 26 licenses issued, not more than thirty-five percent of the
  1 27 licenses shall be bow season licenses and, after the first six
  1 28 thousand nonresident deer licenses have been issued, all
  1 29 additional licenses shall be issued for antlerless deer only.
  1 30 An additional two thousand five hundred nonresident antlerless
  1 31 only deer licenses shall be made available for issuance.  The
  1 32 commission shall allocate the nonresident deer hunting
  1 33 licenses issued among the zones based on the populations of
  1 34 deer.  However, a nonresident applicant may request one or
  1 35 more hunting zones, in order of preference, in which the
  2  1 applicant wishes to hunt.  If the request cannot be fulfilled,
  2  2 the applicable fees shall be returned to the applicant.  A
  2  3 nonresident applying for a deer hunting license must exhibit
  2  4 proof of having successfully completed a hunter safety and
  2  5 ethics education program as provided in section 483A.27 or its
  2  6 equivalent as determined by the department before the license
  2  7 is issued.
  2  8    5.  A nonresident owning land in this state may apply for
  2  9 one of the first six thousand nonresident deer licenses not
  2 10 limited to antlerless deer, and the provisions of subsection 3
  2 11 shall apply.  However, if If a nonresident owning land in this
  2 12 state is unsuccessful in obtaining one of the first six
  2 13 thousand nonresident any sex deer licenses provided for in
  2 14 subsection 3, the landowner shall be given preference for one
  2 15 of the two thousand five hundred nonresident antlerless only
  2 16 nonresident deer licenses provided for in subsection 3.  A
  2 17 nonresident owning land in this state shall pay the fee for a
  2 18 nonresident antlerless only deer license and the license shall
  2 19 be valid to hunt on the nonresident's land only.  A
  2 20 nonresident owning land in this state is eligible for only one
  2 21 nonresident deer license annually.  If one or more parcels of
  2 22 land have multiple nonresident owners, only one of the
  2 23 nonresident owners is eligible for a nonresident antlerless
  2 24 only deer license.  If a nonresident jointly owns land in this
  2 25 state with a resident, the nonresident shall not be given
  2 26 preference for a nonresident antlerless only deer license.
  2 27 The department may require proof of land ownership from a
  2 28 nonresident landowner applying for a nonresident antlerless
  2 29 only deer license.  
  2 30                           EXPLANATION
  2 31    This bill increases the annual limit on nonresident turkey
  2 32 hunting licenses from 2,300 to 3,500.
  2 33    The bill increases the number of nonresident deer hunting
  2 34 licenses available from 8,500 to 14,500, and provides that
  2 35 there will be 12,000 annual nonresident any sex deer hunting
  3  1 licenses available, and 2,500 annual nonresident antlerless
  3  2 only deer licenses available.  The statutory requirement that
  3  3 only 35 percent of the nonresident deer hunting licenses shall
  3  4 be sold to bow and arrow hunters is stricken.
  3  5    The bill provides that a nonresident owning land in this
  3  6 state who is unsuccessful in the nonresident any sex deer
  3  7 hunting license drawing has preference to receive a
  3  8 nonresident antlerless only deer hunting license.
