What is the end goal of this piece of legislation? It reads as if someone is trying to create a third gun season in Iowa. Why else would a bill be introduced that would give nonresidents a method of take that residents can't use? Something smells and I think it is this bill. We do not need this in Iowa, resident or not.

I am against this bill. Who would want let NONRESIDENTS come into the state and use superior weapons during a time residents cannot? Does that really seem like a good and fair idea. I swear the legislature seems hell bent on ruining our deer herd.

I am opposed to HF 406. I think the current regulations are fine, with the methods of take for this season being muzzleloaders, hand guns and bows. I do not see a need to add shotguns and straight wall rifles. These regulations would be more liberal than the concurrent resident late muzzleloader season, which is also fine as currently worded. It would be interesting to know the level of participation in the current nonresident antlerless deer holiday season, as my impression is that not many people are taking an advantage of the opportunity. Adding weapons would not change that, in my estimation. Please leave things as they are.Thank you,Randy
