The qataris give up jumbo jets to everyone dontcha know

That’s so cool! Bringing my nephew next year and I’m already excited about it

You sonof….! Hahaha Hope its awesome

Great question. I honestly don’t know because I’m the outside looking in. I guess I would still appreciate the guy who invests in my state in a substantial manor. Not the guy who buys 10 acres so he game the system. But if I’m a resident and a guy comes in from Georgia and spends 2.5 mil to buy...

Yeah from real world info I haven’t heard anything negative in the supposed ground zero of cwd there

Understood but from a resource and/or hunting standpoint why is a local more valuable that a nonresident? A lot of locals around me arent worth pissing on if they were on fire. I don’t think the fact you lay your head somewhere makes you a better steward of a resource

Rich coming from a Muslim.

Who seemed worked up the landowner or the electrician?

I think you are spot on. Public land is generally poor land. Granted ours down south is usually always slammed but that’s because we have more people that rats so it’s a necessity thing but I imagine the experience is pretty bad. You’re right if they would just allow logging in a lot of places...

I get you were cool with it but can I ask why you didn’t want to press charges this time? They clearly knew they were in the wrong and pushing your timber is a big deal in terms of the damage that could have been done

Agreed totally. Someone in every scenario gets hurt and someone benefits. At the end of the day I’m going to side with the decision that benefits the resource. I would be open minded to anything that improved the hunting even if it negatively affected me. I’m sitting on 16 years of getting...

There’s no right answer. So some guy living in Des Moines in a rent controlled housing and getting ebt stamps contributes more than some high roller buying 500 acres in southern Iowa to hunt? EBT guy is a huge negative on the budget of the state yet he gets preferential treatment over the guy...

As much…maybe. More than some way less than others. But how much do I consume? Almost nothing. So I’m a net positive in those terms

What on earth I’ve had one guy coon hunting on another property walk through mine to get to a road. I was able to locate the landowner who gave him permission and told him no more, landowner was upset at the guy so that’s good. My worst offender has been dang contractors from the tva. They...

No filming on public land would be one of my first orders of business if I were president of the game association. No outfitting would be second. No bait third.

Only if you want to get the benefits of being a resident in another state. I don’t see a problem with that. Not crazy expensive to hunt Iowa, you just need to wait so they don’t water down the experience.

I’m just throwing out ideas. I don’t know the right answer…and even if i did no one is listening to me. My wife doesn’t listen to me and I’m sure I’ve presented some revolutionary ideas! I do think it’s great carrot to dangle to nonresidents AND residents. Invest substantially in our state and...

Idk it’s arbitrary to an extent. One man’s large is another man’s small (giggity). But I could see the merit in making it large enough to be restrictive. Say 100 acres at minimum? Would discourage a lot of parcelling off and make the nonresident have substantial skin in the game

I agree with everything you said except I bet I differ in one area. I think nonresident landowners (of a certain size) should be treated the same as residents. I’ve listed the reasons before but the cliffs are they pay more in taxes than they use and generally they are more infested in the state...
