What’s in it

AI summary The Iowa Natural Resource Commission would set aside 600 deer hunting licenses specifically for people who live outside of Iowa but own at least 40 acres of farmland in the state. If not enough people apply for these special licenses, they will be opened up for anyone else to buy. These rules also include limits on how many of these licenses can be used for bow hunting.1
