Iowa DNR is falsely claiming the authority to override Iowa Law and usher in sweeping changes to approved hunting cartridges.
To make matters worse, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources sent the 2021/22 rule changes out, just four days before the current season, subsequently confusing the public, on the seasons and the subject matter.
IFC hasn’t ascertained if this email was simply a horrible mistake, or a botched attempt at subverting the Legislature. We’re working with both the DNR and the Legislature to gain clarity and perspective.
The intent and spirit of the law is clear on this matter, but we need your help. We encourage you to contact the Iowa DNR, which solicits sportsmen feedback ahead of a proposed rule change.
IFC is strongly opposed to this change and we are asking you to take a quick 2 minutes to provide your feedback directly to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Please click below to send your feedback directly to the Iowa Department of natural resources.
It’s important that your voice is heard!

DNR seeking comments on proposed laws ahead of the 2021/22 deer hunting season

Document dogs? Are the nuts or what? Who thinks this is a good idea or even a reasonable use of DNR administration? Another level of red tape to a simple question! The dog must be on a leash or under a handlers direct control, period. All rules to retrieve game must be followed and done during hunting hours ….
Open it up to all fire arms.
In theory, I agree. And you might be right.
But, Iowa has rolling hills & a house roughly every 1/4 mile.
It’s not really terrain that lends itself to high power rifles.
But, then again black powders have improved so much (to say nothing of straight walls), that I can’t really say they don’t fit the same issue….
You might be right.
