New Iowa Game Licensing Bill Urges Statewide Hunts Regulation
Crarge A Lincoln, warden of Ash and Bane, pushes a proposed Iowa law requiring every resident to obtain a $1 hunting license before pursuing protected wildlife. Licenses go to the state treasury every fifty days to fund the fish and game commission, with exemptions for farm owners, children, and tenants on their own land. The measure, subject to executive council and state auditor approval, aims to curb pot hunting and shift protection duties to those with an interest in game laws.
