What’s in it
AI summary People from outside of Iowa who hunt for antlerless deer during the holiday season would have more ways to hunt. In addition to using a bow, muzzleloader, or handgun, hunters could also use a shotgun or a rifle that fires straight wall ammunition. The state's natural resource commission would be responsible for authorizing these extra methods.1
