Deer hunting bill moves to Vilsack approval in Iowa
Iowa lawmakers sent Gov. Tom Vilsack a compromise bill to expand free hunting licenses for landowners and add more special hunts in hotspot areas. The measure raises landowner license limits from six to ten, removes a nonresident license cap, requires an antler-less tag, and sets a deer kill reporting system. The bill’s authors expect deer numbers to drop by about 130,000.
