Gun Dog Forum

Due to some of the concerns that were being shared about the level of detail the DNR has provided to the public during our public comment period for the public hunting access program we have posted the landowner contract and application/ranking form for the proposed Pilot Iowa Management and Access Program. You can find them at the link below. The comment period has been extended through March 29th due to providing this additional information. I welcome you to share this and the extension of the comment period.

Again we need more public support on the program as some in the AG industry are trying to see to it, that we are forced to give back the 1.5 million to USDA. Drop Kelly an e mail guys & gals.

I think that this would be an awesome thing for Iowa and hopefully they can get it together to become competitive again on the quality of land access they provide to capture some of the outdoor money that is currently going to other places.
