The DNR is trying and hasn't provided the public much time to comment. Some highlights include 6 round limits, no AR pistols w/braces, youth can not hunt with pistols even with adult supervision, etc. Join IFC, get in the know and make your voice heard.

Figures, we finally get rifles added to the ok list and then they want to add mag restrictions and a bunch of other stupid stuff. I supposed they caught some guy doing a 20rd mag dump at deer running across the field or somebody with a brace equipped pistol shooting from a vehicle and now they want to punish everyone.

You guys really need to attend the NRC meeting at the Wallace Building May 10 if you seriously want to keep from losing hunting options. I've spoken to NRC people and this is the only thing that will keep them from voting for what the DNR's staff has recommended. They normally have one or two people show up at these meetings. (Look it up, March 18 when this was initially published they had three show up, and two were lobbyists.)
If you want to keep restrictions on AR pistols and magazine capacity from becoming reality, you HAVE to be there. Emails alone won't do it. I'm not exaggerating; call up members on the NRC and they will tell you that if you don't show up, you will be restricted on this. I work and have responsibilities, just like you. I get two personal days a year. After speaking with people who will be making decisions, I took the day off work to make this meeting. If you can't make the time, then don't bitch when they restrict how you hunt. If we get a showing, they will vote this crap down. if you don't show up, you will be saddled with it and I will be pissed every time I hear you whine about how they didn't consider your email. |

Here's a list of email addresses for the NRC:
[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Keeping AR pistol restrictions at bay, centerfire handguns in late season muzzleloader, and dropping this idea about silly capacity limitations are definitely something the NRC can do. You don't need to be a wordsmith. Just modify the above sentence. Here's what I sent: Hello, The NRC needs to stop trying to limit AR pistols (even with braces), stop trying to remove centerfire handguns from the late season muzzleloader season, and not add silly capacity limitations on firearms. If you want more people to hunt, you need to stop throwing up restrictions that make it less likely someone will want to hunt. |

NR Hunter here, told them I won't be hunting in Iowa anymore if this happens, because our hunting group, which already seems to get smaller every year will stop hunting.

So did the AR pistol thing get shot down, or are they still disallowed? Didn't see anything printed in this year's regulations but didn't see anything last year either and people were saying AR pistols and mare's leg lever actions were not allowed.

But I’ve had a dnr O try to write me a ticket in my yard for uncased Gun while having a permit While target shooting . Went fishing with my brother at a stocked pond, caught a limit of northern pike and went home. My brother stayed, and while he had one on his stringer he was confronted by two of what he thought were DNR officers(turned out to be county conservation employees) who hounded him until he let the fish go-the whole "if you keep all these little ones(about 20") there won't be any trophies. He eventually let it go to shut them up. I emailed DNR mentioning the confrontation, and asked if there is a pond-specific size limit on pike that I didn't know about. Got a phone call from an officer and got my ass chewed for 5-10 minutes before getting an answer. Partly for being mistaken and thinking my brother was approached by DNR, partly for not reading the regulations and "wasting his time"(his words) with an email instead of calling. I figured email was the better way to go, since it was a low priority issue that didn't need an immediate answer. Anyway, not too keen on sending another email just to be told I should have read the regulations again. ETA-as for keeping 20" northerns, I was keeping them to eat, not for the wall. IMO that's what a stocked fishery is for-keeping a few to eat and not feeling bad about it. Want them thrown back? Add a publicly-available, commonly known size limit-which they didn't. |

Carroll.County. The mares leg? I stained my wood black and leather wrapped the stocks for grip. It’s a blast to shoot.
Very impressed with the all weather Henry in 44. Buddy has it in45/70. Take them both deer hunting. |
