Randy you are 100 percent right about Iowa. As a resident land owner you would not believe how much things have changed here in the last 20 years. Outfitters especially in southern Iowa have priced most residents out of ever owning land. This is a big threat to our American hunting culture which has been under siege for a long time. I lived in Europe. The only way you get to hunt over there is if you're nobility and you have to leave your rifles locked up at the hunting lodge year round. Grandpa and I were discussing this long ago. The IDNR does not want farm kids shooting deer. They would much rather have wealthy out of staters shoot them. In Van Buren were my ground is. My neighbors are all out of state landowners except for one. I know several life long resident hunters who quit going because they have no place to go. Please use your pull to make sure this doesn't happen.

Your statement about Europe is not correct. Remember it is made of 2 dozen different countries. Public land is still available to the people although a lot of it is leased or access is restricted to a specifc town/village residents. It is true in France and some other countries in Europe.

I live in central Iowa. For 20 plus years I’ve had permission to hunt over 10,000 acres of southern and western Iowa. Each year it’s been chopped down by leased ground. Now I have 80 acres to hunt and after next year that will drop to 40 acres as I’ve already been told the other half will be leased. If it wasn’t for a family 40 I’d be at zero or public which seems to be pounded. Things have changed and unless you have deep pockets to lease or great deep pockets to buy you’re really screwed. Really takes a lot of the fun out of hunting.

Thank you guys. I appreciate hearing about these trends. You mention that folks might displace hunters to other places, but I spose some folks to give up hunting and maybe make it a little harder for people to get into it. In another and more indirect sense, if less people hunt public land and more of them hunt special private land then there may be less hunting public and hence less people to care when habitat gets destroyed.

This conversation, unfortunately has been had repeatedly - YEARLY - in Utah regarding the CWMU program, and you have described exactly in Iowa what has been going on in Utah for more than two decades. Outfitter allocated tags undermines the NAWCM, and in time will end public hunting as well as Governors and Legislators will seek to have public lands (FS and BLM) turned over to the State to manage, or to be sold off for their friends in power and large landholdings, where it'll end up like the "Corner Crossing" issues in WY where landowners dictate access even to the public lands held inside the boundaries of their privately held/leased properties.

Iowa is just trying to do the same thing Montana did with their elk tags a few years ago. And that sucks because it used to be easy to get a general tag in MT. Now because they gave all those tags to the outfitters we as nonresidents now need points to pull a general tag. The only ones who won in that decision are the outfitters and the ones rich enough to hire outfitters. DIY guys basically are just told to bend over and take it.

In Maryland, especially on the Eastern Shore, we have long since been getting priced out by rich guys from the Baltimore-DC Metro. Waterfowl is almost exclusively a rich man's sport; whitetail hunting is trending in the same direction. Most of our public lands in this area are too small to handle a huge influx of hunters. After October, the chances of killing a mature deer in daylight are almost nil. A lot of guys I know don't even hunt anymore. I've pretty much begun focusing on small game on public land.

Hunt clubs have been around Va for decades especially in the east. Most run dogs and gaining membership is not too hard. $500-$1500 per year per person. A few clubs are higher. Better than public land which east of Charlottesville is scares which means these few public areas get pounded. But there has been an ongoing effort by a few private entities to outlaw dog hunting and legalize baiting. If these people get this done, then outfitters would move in and start leasing large tracks of land. They would manage this land for wealthy hunters kind of like Texas ranches do. So far they have not been successful.

Randy, you could not be more correct in your assessment about the Iowa situation. As a resident of Kentucky I have seen this firsthand. Anyone that wants a deer tag in Kentucky can buy it OTC. No points required, no draw. Just go buy it. The requirements to become an outfitter in Kentucky are minimal. We are seeing outfitters leasing huge amounts of land and displacing countless resident hunters and KDFWR is doing nothing to prevent this. This has put a bunch of Kentucky resident hunters out of the game.

Privatization of waterfowl has occurred already. Canada geese no longer migrate because of food provision. They are imprinted to remain and not migrate. That is now being allowed for ducks. For ducks a major weather event is required to move them south otherwise they stay north. The federal wild life agency is actively participating in this allowing states to pull portions of the federal migratory trust as discussed about Iowa whitetails. This includes many of the wildlife management reserves that provide food to hold the fowl.

Iowa just needs to pass a law that says no deer hunting by non-residents including non-resident land owners. At the very least, make the nonresident landowner apply for a tag in the nonresident pool and no gratis tags for non-resident land owners. And no tags for outfitters and higher outfitter licensing fees. They need to get their clientele from non-residents who drew a tag.
